Piko 52079 H0 Diesel railcar Desiro, DB AG, Ep. VI, "Saarlandbahn", AC sound - Modern local transport in perfect realization

With the Piko 52079 Desiro BR 642 diesel railcar, PIKO brings an ultra-modern DB AG local transport vehicle in an authentic design of the "Saarland/Rhineland-Palatinate" network to your H0 AC layout. The Epoch VI model impresses with its realistic details, high-quality workmanship and factory-installed sound decoder for an acoustically impressive driving experience.

Typical Desiro - with high recognition value

The BR 642 two-car multiple unit is a familiar sight on local services in south-west Germany. The model exactly reproduces the prototype with fine engravings, clear lines and harmonious paintwork. The clear view through the realistically designed passenger compartment is particularly striking - complemented by detailed interior fittings and factory-fitted interior lighting.

Sound and light - perfectly coordinated

Equipped with a factory-fitted 8-pole PIKO sound decoder, the Desiro BR 642 offers an authentic sound image that realistically reproduces the characteristic diesel noises of the original. The interior lighting can be switched digitally, as can the direction of travel-dependent light change in white/red - ideal for atmospheric scenarios by day and night.

Technically sophisticated for optimum system operation

With a clearance of 479 mm and a minimum radius of 358 mm, the railcar is also suitable for demanding track layouts. Two traction tires provide sufficient traction, and the NEM shafts with close coupler link ensure reliable coupler connections. A special coupler is included for operation in multiple traction - a special feature for realistic operation scenarios in regional traffic.

For modern layouts and realistic regional trains

Whether as a single railcar or in double traction: The Desiro BR 642 "Saarlandbahn" brings a modern railroad feel to your layout. Perfectly suited for Era VI timetables and operating layouts with a focus on regional services in Germany.
