Piko 51384 H0 electric locomotive BR 240, CD Cargo, Ep. VI

An H0 electric locomotive from CD Cargo for DC operation

The PIKO 51384 H0 Class 240 electric locomotive, CD Cargo, Era VI is aimed at model railroaders who would like to expand their layout or collection with an electric locomotive in H0 gauge. The model is designed for the DC current system and belongs to the CD railroad administration. Due to the clear assignment to Era VI, the locomotive is particularly suitable for all those who want to use a model of this railroad administration and era.

With its length over buffers of 189 mm, the PIKO 51384 offers a clearly specified model size that can be taken into account when planning track areas, stabling areas or display case areas. The specified minimum radius is 358 mm. This makes it clear from the outset which technical conditions should be taken into account when using the model on the H0 layout.

Clear technical features with PluX22 interface

A central feature of the PIKO 51384 is the digital interface according to NEM 658 PluX22. This interface enables the use of a suitable PluX22 decoder. The lighting equipment is particularly interesting, as the driver's cab and engine room lighting can be switched digitally with a PluX22 decoder.

The model also has driver's desk lighting. This special feature supplements the existing lighting functions and emphasizes the technical equipment of the locomotive. There is also a light change in white and red depending on the direction of travel. This changes the lighting according to the direction of travel.

Sound can be retrofitted with a PIKO sound decoder

The PIKO 51384 is specified with a retrofittable sound option. The PIKO sound decoder with item number 56577 is provided for retrofitting sound. This is particularly practical if the locomotive is initially used without sound and is to be expanded later.

Thanks to the combination of NEM 658 PluX22 interface, digitally switchable driver's cab lighting, digitally switchable engine room lighting and retrofittable sound, the model offers various options for digital expansion. It is important to note that the lighting functions mentioned can be switched digitally with a PluX22 decoder, while the sound can be retrofitted using the matching PIKO 56577 sound decoder.

NEM shaft and close coupler link for use in a train set

The coupling equipment consists of an NEM shaft with a close coupling gate. This information is important for model railroaders who want to use the model in a train set. The NEM shaft provides a defined coupler pocket, while the close coupler link is part of the model's equipment.

The age recommendation is from 14 years. This makes the PIKO 51384 H0 Class 240 electric locomotive, CD Cargo, Era VI a model for young people and adults who value clearly described technical features. The PluX22 interface, the white / red light change, the driver's desk lighting and the retrofittable sound function in particular make the locomotive an interesting addition to the H0 gauge.
