The prototype: The heavy E 93 of the German Federal Railroad

The E 93 class was developed in the 1930s to haul heavy freight trains in mountainous regions. With its impressive tractive power and characteristic design, it became one of the most powerful electric locomotives of its time. After the Second World War, these locomotives became part of the Deutsche Bundesbahn fleet and shaped the image of the railroads in the early Federal Republic of Germany.

The heavy construction and the striking front design with the characteristic ventilation grilles and windows make the E 93 an unmistakable classic. The model from Piko implements these details excellently and perfectly reflects the characteristic appearance of the prototype in Era III.

Era III: The time of the reconstruction years

Era III (1945-1970) was characterized by the reconstruction of the railroad after the Second World War. For the German Federal Railroad, this time meant the transition from steam locomotives to more modern types of traction such as diesel and electric locomotives. The E 93 played an important role in freight transport at this time and is an example of the technical advances and the revival of rail transport.

Technology and design: A model with character

The Piko 51298 model impresses with numerous authentic details and technical refinements. The sharp engravings and filigree bogie covers emphasize the details of the heavy six-axle locomotive. The green paint scheme of Era III has been precisely implemented and emphasizes the authentic look.

Thanks to the PluX22 interface, the model can be controlled completely digitally, and the digital lighting is impressive with a light change in white and red depending on the direction of travel. Overhead line operation is possible and makes the model particularly versatile. The heavy die-cast zinc frame ensures excellent running characteristics and high tractive power, supported by four traction tires.
