Piko 51537 H0 electric locomotive BR 141, DB, Ep. IV

Piko 51537 H0 Class 141 electric locomotive, DB - Novelty 2025 for Era IV

The Piko 51537 H0 Class 141 electric locomotive brings the classic class 141 of the German Federal Railroad to the model railroad scene. This 2025 novelty combines detailed design, historical authenticity and modern technology. Perfect for Era IV, this locomotive is an ideal addition to any H0 model railroad layout representing the period from 1965 to 1990.

The class 141: A versatile DB electric locomotive

The class 141, originally designed for use in local traffic, proved itself through its reliability and flexibility in passenger and freight traffic. In Era IV, the locomotives wore the typical colors and lettering of the German Federal Railroad. The Piko model faithfully reproduces this era with precise coloring and prototypical lettering.

Authentic design and modern lighting

The lighting of the head and tail lamps changes between red and white depending on the direction of travel. Equipped with the latest LED technology, the model ensures a realistic appearance. The driver's cab lighting can also be switched digitally, which underlines the high level of detail and functionality.

Prepared for digital and sound retrofitting

Thanks to the modern PluX22 interface in accordance with NEM 658, the locomotive is ideally prepared for retrofitting a decoder and a sound module (e.g. PIKO sound decoder #56546). The generous space on the circuit board allows the integration of a powerful loudspeaker to acoustically enhance the locomotive. This flexibility makes the locomotive a future-proof choice for model railroaders.

Technical features and perfect running characteristics

With a length over buffers (LüP) of 180 mm and a minimum radius of 358 mm, the locomotive is ideal for H0 model railroad layouts. Two traction tires ensure excellent traction, while the NEM shaft coupling with close coupler kinematics allows easy integration into train formations. The robust design also guarantees a long service life.

Conclusion: A classic for demanding model railroaders

The Piko 51537 H0 electric locomotive BR 141 is a must for collectors and model railroaders who appreciate historical precision and modern technology. With its prototypical design, digital retrofitting and flexible usage options, this locomotive is an enrichment for every H0 layout. Experience the elegance and versatility of the class 141 on your model railroad!
