Era VI: Modern rail traffic and sustainability

Era VI stands for the current railroad world from 2007 onwards, in which sustainability and climate protection are increasingly in the foreground. The ICE 4 is the symbol of modern and environmentally friendly long-distance transportation in Germany and is a flagship of Deutsche Bahn on many routes. The Piko ICE 4 in the "climate protector" design picks up on the characteristic elements of this era by representing modern rail transport on the model railway layout with environmentally conscious printing and contemporary technologies.

Technical details of the Piko 51406 ICE 4 "Climate protector"

This model is made for the H0 gauge and has an impressive length over buffers (LüP) of 1330 mm. The ICE 4 is equipped with a 20-pole multi-protocol decoder that allows control via DCC with RailComPlus®, Motorola® and Selectrix®. The decoder has individually adjustable mapping so that typical locomotive sounds such as engine noises, brake squeal and signal horns can be called up separately. Thanks to the switchable interior lighting and driver's cab lighting, this model creates a realistic driving experience that is particularly effective on large layouts.

Color scheme and design: "Climate protector" version of the ICE 4

The solid construction and the elaborate equipment with powerful motors, flywheels and wheels with adhesive tires guarantee a stable running performance. This locomotive is designed for a minimum radius of 421 mm and can be used from radius 2 due to the true-to-scale implementation. This makes the model ideal for large and realistic layouts.

Sound and light functions for a realistic driving experience

The Piko ICE 4 is factory-equipped with a sound module that reproduces the engine noise in analog mode and various sounds such as brake squeal and signal horns in digital mode. The integrated loudspeaker is optimally tuned to the train and provides an impressive sound experience. The model also offers a light change depending on the direction of travel and separately switchable tail lighting, which further enhance the realistic driving experience.
