The prototype: EN57 - An icon of the Polish State Railroad

The EN57 is one of the best-known electric multiple units of the Polish State Railways (PKP). Since its introduction in the 1960s, it has been an indispensable part of regional and local transportation in Poland. The Era V version shows the multiple unit in one of its modernized forms, with contemporary paintwork and equipment that met the requirements of the 1990s.

PIKO: Precision and quality

With the EN 57 PKP V, PIKO has created a model that impresses with the highest precision and quality. The intricate details, such as the roof equipment and the pantographs, as well as the exactly reproduced interior, perfectly reflect the prototype. The powerful motor with flywheel mass ensures outstanding driving characteristics, even on demanding routes.

Design and equipment: authenticity down to the last detail

The paintwork and lettering of the model have been carefully modeled on Era V. The direction of travel-dependent light change in white/red underlines the prototypical appearance. The close coupler mechanism allows operation in double traction or the formation of prototypical train sets, making the EN 57 ideal for large layouts.

Technical highlights and digital operation

The model is equipped with an NEM 658 PluX22 interface, which enables simple digitalization. This means that the EN 57 PKP V is ready for digital operation, which can be further extended by retrofitting a sound decoder. The minimum radius of 358 mm also makes the multiple unit suitable for compact track layouts.

Recommended purchase: Perfect for fans of Polish railroads

The EN 57 PKP V electric multiple unit is a highlight for all model railroaders who value historical accuracy and technical excellence. With its prototypical realization, robust technology and the possibility of forming prototypical train sets, this model is an enrichment for every H0 model railway layout.
