NEW Piko 52130 H0 Diesellok BR 211, NorthRail, Ep. VI

Piko 52130 H0 Class 211 diesel locomotive, NorthRail, Ep. VI - The modern interpretation of a classic

With the Piko 52130 BR 211 diesel locomotive in the NorthRail version, you can experience a contemporary appearance of the traditional Bundesbahn locomotive in a modern Epoch VI design. The locomotive, known as the DB's "bread-and-butter locomotive", is presented here in a current private railway look and impresses with its high level of detail, digital upgradeability and excellent running characteristics - ideal for modern model railway operation on H0 DC layouts.

Finest detailing with a functional character

The model is true to scale and shows typical features of the prototype in an updated form. The finely detailed cooling system with etched grilles and visible fan wheel underneath is particularly striking. Engravings on the front ends and driver's cab as well as finely designed bogies with attached parts underline the high model quality.

Prepared for digital and sound retrofitting

Thanks to the integrated NEM 658 PluX22 digital interface, the model is fully prepared for retrofitting with a suitable decoder. For an optional sound experience, a PIKO sound decoder (#56624) with a large loudspeaker can be easily installed - perfect for model railroaders who want to customize their locomotive.

Solid technology for reliable operation

With two traction tires, a recommended minimum radius of 358 mm and a robust drive, the locomotive offers perfect running characteristics. The digitally switchable driver's cab lighting and the direction-dependent light change in white/red provide additional operational authenticity and visual realism on the layout.

Ideal for modern private railway scenarios

With a running length of 139 mm, the class 211 is versatile - whether in construction train service, light freight service or as an addition to museum train scenarios. The striking NorthRail livery also ensures an attractive appearance on any Era VI layout.
