Technical details of the PIKO BR 181.2 DB "Mosel"

The PIKO BR 181.2 model is powered by a five-pole motor with two flywheel masses for excellent driving characteristics. Powered over all four axles, the tractive force is increased by two traction tires, which are arranged diagonally on the inner axles of the bogies to ensure a high tractive force. The heavy die-cast zinc frame contributes to the stability of the model and enables the locomotive to achieve high tractive forces.

The model is illuminated using modern LED technology, which provides a long-lasting and energy-efficient light source. The model is equipped with a light change depending on the direction of travel, with the 3 headlights and the 2 tail lights changing between white and red light depending on the direction of travel. The cab and engine room lighting can be switched digitally and contribute to the authenticity of the model in digital operation.
