NEW Piko 51193 H0 E-Lok BR 244, DR, Ep. IV

PIKO 51193 H0 - DR Class 244 electric locomotive, Era IV

The PIKO 51193 presents a classic electric locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn in a new print version: The BR 244 in typical DR green with contrasting red bogies is a real eye-catcher on any H0 layout and a highlight for fans of Era IV.

Style-defining prototype of the GDR electric traction

The class 244 was the backbone of the medium to heavy freight train service in the GDR for decades. Its robust, angular appearance, which is also reflected in the model, was particularly characteristic. The Era IV variant implemented here has the classic green paint scheme with red running gear details - a typical look for DR vehicles of the 1970s and 1980s.

Detailed realization & digitally prepared

The model impresses with its authentic design and technical features. The modern LED light functions allow the lights to change in white/red depending on the direction of travel. If you use a suitable PluX22 decoder, you can also switch the cab lighting digitally - ideal for atmospheric night journeys. Two traction tires ensure reliable traction, even with longer trains.

Can be retrofitted with a PIKO sound decoder

The model is prepared for uncomplicated digitization - thanks to the NEM 658 PluX22 interface. The matching PIKO sound decoder (#56634) can be retrofitted for an authentic sound experience and gives the locomotive an additional acoustic presence on the layout.
