Piko 52078 H0 Desiro diesel railcar, DB AG, Ep. VI, "Saarlandbahn", DC sound - Experience regional traffic in a modern way

The Piko 52078 Class 642 Desiro diesel railcar shows modern local transportation in the Saarland and Rhineland-Palatinate region in Era VI on your H0 DC layout. In authentic DB AG livery, the two-part model impresses with its detailed implementation, high level of technical equipment and a factory-installed sound decoder - for a realistic driving experience in regional operation.

Typical appearance with realistic equipment

The model shows the Desiro BR 642 in the current DB design and realistically reproduces the prototype with fine engravings, precise printing and harmonious proportions. The detailed interior design and the clear view through the passenger compartment make for an impressive appearance - complemented by factory-fitted, switchable interior lighting.

Prototypical sound ex works

Equipped with a factory-fitted 8-pole PIKO sound decoder, the model delivers the typical diesel railcar sounds of the 642 series - from the starting noise to the brake response. In combination with the direction of travel-dependent light change in white/red, an authentic operating atmosphere is created.

Technically strong and versatile in use

With a clearance of 479 mm, two traction tires and a minimum radius of 358 mm, the model is also suitable for more demanding track systems. The NEM shaft coupling with close coupler link ensures safe operation. A special coupling for multiple traction is also included in the set - ideal for realistic double traction in regional traffic.

Modern prototype for current layouts

The BR 642 is perfect for all model railroaders who want to bring their operations up to date. Whether as a commuter train in rural areas or as a regional train on branch lines - the Desiro models from PIKO are real eye-catchers with a great deal of prototypical accuracy.
