Piko 51118 H0-electric locomotive 101 Europa, DBAG, Ep.VI, AC Sound, AC current

About the original: In the mid-1990s, the DB procured the class 101 as a replacement for the approximately 25-year-old class 103 locomotives to replace them in fast passenger service. Of the 145 class 101s produced, the first 3 were painted in oriental red, all the others in the usual DB traffic red. As with most locomotives of the 1990s, the locomotive body has a wide beveled front, which was intended to ensure an optimal mix of aerodynamics and cost-effective production. The bogie covers of the BR 101 are one of its most striking features, as they reach down to the axle bearings. The BR 101 was mainly used for IC traffic, e.g. from Hamburg to Constance, but some BR 101s were also used for freight traffic for DB Cargo. With the retirement of the IC1, the class 101 will also be increasingly retired from 2023, as there is no need for the class 101 in freight traffic either.

About the model: With this model, Piko is offering a class 101 with a special "European year of rail 2021" paint scheme. This is characterized by a white base coat, as well as a stripe in the blue of the European flag and various lettering. In this livery, the 101 057-8 pulled the CEE through Germany. In addition to the paintwork, various precisely reproduced details such as grab rails, pantographs and other add-on parts also contribute to the outstanding appearance of the model. It is powered by a modern, powerful motor with flywheel mass, which is equipped with a Plux22 interface. This is fitted with a corresponding sound decoder, which makes the many light and sound functions usable. The sound functions impress with their clear, powerful and faithful sound.
