Piko 51194 H0 Electric Locomotive BR 244, DR, Ep. IV, DC Sound - Green Reichsbahn Elegance with Digital Sound

The Piko 51194 BR 244 electric locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn presents itself in its classic Epoch IV design: painted green with contrasting red bogies - a familiar sight on the electrified lines of the GDR. This DC model combines historical authenticity with modern digital technology and an impressive sound experience ex works.

Faithful realization of a DR universal locomotive

The class 244 was a proven locomotive for passenger and freight traffic on the Deutsche Reichsbahn and was active until well into the 1980s. The model perfectly reflects the typical shape and appearance of this locomotive - from the body design to the fine roof details and the color separation between the locomotive body and running gear.

Equipped with a powerful sound decoder

PIKO has equipped the model at the factory with a modern PluX22 sound decoder and a large-volume loudspeaker. The sound is exactly matched to the prototype and provides realistic operating noises, supplemented by digitally switchable driver's cab lighting and a light change in white/red depending on the direction of travel.

Technically reliable for everyday operation

With a length over buffers of 176 mm and two traction tires, the locomotive offers excellent traction - even in the model. The minimum radius of 358 mm makes it compatible with common track systems. Coupling is via NEM shafts with close coupler link for a safe wagon transition.

Perfect for classic DR scenarios

Whether in a push-pull train, with Donnerbüchsen or in front of a freight train: The BR 244 is a versatile all-rounder for Era IV layouts with a focus on GDR railroad history. The green and red color scheme underlines the typical DR look of this era.
