Piko 51639 electric locomotive Rh 1144, ÖBB, Ep. V (incl. sound) AC current/AC

Piko 51639 H0 Electric locomotive Rh 1144 ÖBB, Era V - Powerful electric locomotive with sound

The Piko 51639 Rh 1144 electric locomotive is an impressive replica of one of the most important locomotives of the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) in Era V. This locomotive not only impresses with its prototypical color scheme and lettering, but also with a factory-installed PIKO sound decoder and a powerful loudspeaker for a realistic driving experience. The version for alternating current (AC) makes this model the ideal choice for Märklin railroaders.

The prototype of the Piko Rh 1144

The class 1144 was developed from the modernization of the proven ÖBB 1044, one of the first high-performance electric locomotives in Europe. The locomotive was designed for mixed traffic and could haul both heavy freight trains and express trains over Austria's demanding Alpine routes. In the 1990s, it was converted to the class 1144, which is characterized by improved control technology.

Detailed reproduction and high-quality workmanship

The Piko Rh 1144 impresses with its authentic color scheme in the ÖBB Era V paint scheme. The fine reproduction of the roof equipment, the exact reproduction of the fan grilles and the realistic bogies ensure an impressive appearance. The model is equipped with digitally switchable driver's cab and driver's desk lighting, which makes the playing experience even more realistic.

Technical features & digital functions

The Piko 51639 is already equipped ex works with a PluX22 sound decoder and offers extensive digital functions. In addition to the realistic locomotive sound, it impresses with a light change depending on the direction of travel (white/red) and switchable driver's cab lighting. Thanks to the NEM coupling mount with close coupler link, the model can be perfectly integrated into existing train formations.
