The Piko 51117 BR 101 electric locomotive in the special "Europa" livery represents one of the most modern and powerful locomotives of the DB from Era VI. This model impresses with its attention to detail and technical features that will delight both collectors and model railroad operators. The class 101 was introduced in the 1990s to replace the class 103 in fast passenger train service and has been an important part of intercity service in Germany ever since. Particularly striking is the streamlined shape of the locomotive with its wide, sloping fronts, which offer optimum aerodynamics. The variant presented here has a special livery to mark the "European Year of Rail 2021", which underlines the importance of the railroad for a united Europe.
The Piko model is a detailed replica of the class 101 057-8, which pulled the CEE (Central European Express) through Germany in this special livery. The white and blue coach body, decorated with the European flag, is a visual highlight on any model railway layout. In addition to its impressive appearance, the model has many intricate details such as free-standing grab irons and prototypical pantographs. The side panels of the locomotive are also faithfully reproduced and contribute to the high authenticity of the model.
The Piko BR 101 is not only a visual eye-catcher, but is also technically state-of-the-art. The model is powered by a modern motor with flywheel mass, which ensures high tractive power and smooth running. The pre-installed sound decoder offers a variety of sound and light functions that make the driving experience more realistic. Thanks to the built-in loudspeaker, the sound functions are reproduced in top quality, allowing typical sounds of the locomotive to be heard in true detail.
Special technical features such as the digitally switchable driver's cab lighting and the light change depending on the direction of travel (white/red) also contribute to the realistic operating experience. The locomotive is equipped with a Plux22 decoder, which makes it easy to control all functions. With the KK kinematics and the NEM coupling shaft, the model is optimized for precise shunting manoeuvres on the layout and can be perfectly coupled with other wagons and locomotives.
The model of the BR 101 from Piko is a must for every model railroader who values high attention to detail and realistic operation. The special "Europe" livery makes the locomotive a special collector's item that will catch the eye on any layout. Thanks to the wide range of technical features and the high-quality workmanship, the locomotive is impressive in every respect - whether in operation on the model railway line or as a showpiece in the display case.
