Description

Piko 52119 H0 Diesel locomotive BR 228, DR, Ep. V, "economy paint scheme", DC sound - Powerful classic in the last DR phase

With the Piko 52119 BR 228 diesel locomotive in the so-called "economy paint scheme", PIKO brings an authentic DC version of the six-axle large diesel locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn to the H0 model railway layout. In Era V, shortly before its incorporation into DB AG, the locomotive appeared in a simplified color scheme and with transitional lettering - perfectly reproduced in this finely detailed model with factory-fitted sound decoder.

Striking design with powerful technology

The six-axle BR 228 is clearly distinguished from its four-axle sister models by the three-axle bogies, the modified fan and window arrangement and its impressive length. The model precisely implements these differences and is therefore an indispensable piece of Reichsbahn history for all Era V fans.

Factory-fitted with a powerful sound decoder

The integrated PSD XP sound decoder provides a realistic sound image of the class 228 - from the typical engine running to the additional operational functions. The locomotive also has a white/red light change depending on the direction of travel and is fully digitally controllable thanks to the NEM 652 interface.

Technically sophisticated for reliable operation

The locomotive is equipped with a precisely manufactured drive system that drives four axles. One wheelset per bogie is fitted with traction tires (arranged diagonally), which gives the locomotive a high tractive force. The clearance is 224 mm, the minimum radius is 358 mm - ideal for use on main lines or in heavy branch line operation.

Realized prototypically - with transitional lettering

The sparse lettering and the reduced paint scheme of Era V authentically reflect the transition from the Reichsbahn to DB AG. This design variant is particularly popular with collectors and railway enthusiasts who want to realistically depict this exciting transition phase.

Now in the model railway store - the last DR large diesel locomotive with authentic sound

Experience the six-axle BR 228 in its characteristic economy paint scheme with modern sound and proven technology. The Piko 52119 is now available - ideal for Era V layouts with historical aspirations!
