Electric locomotive BR E44 W DB III: A masterpiece from PIKO
The BR E44 W DB III electric locomotive is an impressive novelty of the year 2025 from PIKO. This model represents the German Federal Railways (DB) in Era III and is characterized by its design with a resistance brake. The detailed realization and the technical refinements make this locomotive a highlight for every H0 model railway layout.
The prototype: The E44 class of the German Federal Railroad
The class E44 was one of the first electric locomotives to be developed in Germany for universal use in passenger and freight transportation. Its construction began in the 1930s and it proved itself through its reliability and versatility. In Era III, which covers the years from 1949 to 1970, these locomotives were a familiar sight on the lines of the German Federal Railroad. The design with resistance brakes in particular made it possible to use the braking energy efficiently and thus increased operational safety and economy.
PIKO: Tradition meets innovation
PIKO has been a leading manufacturer of model railroads for decades and stands for the highest quality and attention to detail. With the BR E44 W DB III, PIKO is setting new standards in the model realization of historical locomotives. The precise engravings on the body and the numerous specially attached parts on the striking bogies underline the excellent overall impression of this model.
Technical refinements and digital possibilities
The electric locomotive is equipped with a PluX22 interface, which makes it easy to retrofit a PIKO digital decoder. This means that functions such as the engine room and driver's cab lighting can be controlled digitally. The proven and robust drive ensures excellent driving characteristics, and the direction-dependent light change in white/red increases the authenticity in operation.
Color scheme and design: authenticity in every detail
The characteristic color scheme of the German Federal Railroad in Era III is faithfully reproduced in this model. The sharp and precise engravings on the body give the locomotive enormous three-dimensional depth. The specially attached parts on the bogies and the fine details in the running gear area reflect the prototype down to the smallest detail.
Quality and workmanship at the highest level
PIKO attaches great importance to high-quality materials and excellent workmanship. The BR E44 W DB III electric locomotive impresses with its robust construction and attention to detail. All lighting elements are designed using modern LED technology, which ensures a long service life and low maintenance.
Accessories and expansion options
The model has an NEM shaft with close coupler link, which allows the use of various coupling systems. In addition, a PIKO sound decoder can be retrofitted to enrich the model with true-to-original sounds. The NEM 658 PluX22 digital interface offers further possibilities for individualization and expansion of the functions.
Recommended purchase: A must for every model railroader
The BR E44 W DB III electric locomotive from PIKO is an outstanding model that no H0 model railway collection should be without.
