With the Piko 51449 431.194 electric locomotive, PIKO is bringing a colorful and true-to-original version of the well-known Hungarian V43 series to the H0 DC layout. The locomotive is in service with the Hungarian state railroad MÁV in the current Era VI and features an attractive colour scheme, the finest engraving and solid technology - perfectly prepared for digitization and sound retrofitting.

A modern interpretation of a Hungarian classic

The V43 - now known as the 431 series at MÁV - is one of the most frequently built electric locomotives in Eastern Europe. The model of the 431.194 features correct Era VI lettering, authentic paintwork and harmonious engravings on the locomotive body. The finely detailed roof equipment and the prototypical window and fan arrangements underline the high-quality overall impression.

Digitally prepared with state-of-the-art electronics

Thanks to the integrated NEM 658 PluX22 interface, the model can be easily digitized. The circuit board also offers sufficient space for retrofitting a PIKO sound decoder (#56598) with the largest possible loudspeaker - ideal for all those who want to breathe acoustic life into their models. The cab lighting can be switched digitally, as can the direction-dependent light change in white/red.

Technology meets operational safety

The locomotive has a powerful drive with two traction tires for reliable traction. With a clearance of 180 mm and a minimum radius of 358 mm, it is ideally suited for use on secondary and main lines. The NEM shaft coupler with close coupler link ensures reliable train connections.

Perfect for modern Hungary scenarios

The 431.194 is ideally suited for use in current MÁV train formations - whether in passenger or freight traffic. It also cuts a convincing figure in international traffic with ÖBB, ČD or DB wagons.
