The prototype: Škoda 47E "Laminátka" - A CSD classic
The Škoda 47E electric locomotive, known by the nickname "Laminátka", was developed for the Czechoslovak State Railways (CSD) in the 1960s. It belongs to the S499.1 series and was intended in particular for use in passenger and freight transport. The name "Laminátka" is derived from the use of fiberglass laminate in the locomotive body, which gave it a modern and lightweight design.
Characteristic of these locomotives is their elegant, clearly structured locomotive body with sharp lines and the eye-catching color scheme. The prototype was known for its reliability and efficiency, characteristics that Piko has faithfully reproduced in the model.
Piko: Quality and tradition in model making
Since its foundation, Piko has stood for first-class model railroads that impress with their precision, innovation and durability. With the Piko 51383 H0 electric locomotive BR S499.1, the manufacturer is once again setting new standards. The attention to detail is evident in the careful reproduction of the locomotive body, the exact printing and the integration of the latest technology.
Era IV: The heyday of the CSD
Era IV (1965-1990) was a time of technical progress and international cooperation in the railroad industry. In this era, the CSD relied on modern locomotives such as the BR S499.1, which excelled both in domestic traffic and in cross-border operations. This era is reflected in the model, which perfectly captures the characteristic color scheme and technical design of the time.
Design and technical implementation: A tribute to the Laminátka
The Piko 51383 model is characterized by a prototypical colour scheme and numerous details that perfectly reproduce the original. Particularly noteworthy are the skylights in the engine room and the sharply engraved lines of the locomotive body. The bogies have been precisely reproduced and the elaborate paintwork shows off the colorful livery of the prototype to its best advantage.
The locomotive is driven by a powerful five-pole motor with two flywheels, which ensures smooth running. The lighting is provided by modern LED technology, which offers a light change in red and white depending on the direction of travel. The driver's cab and engine room lighting can be switched digitally for additional realism.
