Piko 52150 H0 Railcar BR 798 + Control Car, DB AG, Ep. V, "Ulmer Spatz", DC Sound - Classic rail bus in a new era
With the Piko 52150 BR 798 railcar set + VS 998 driving trailer, you can experience the legendary rail bus of the German Federal Railroad in its Epoch V version as the "Ulmer Spatz". In a mint green color scheme and with a modern DB-AG logo, this DC model represents a successful symbiosis of nostalgia, technical innovation and authentic sound experience - perfect for use on H0 main and branch lines.
Detailed reproduction with a clear view
The model shows the BR 798 + VS 998 in its current design and impresses with a number of highlights: The driving and driving trailer are connected with a current-carrying close coupling and allow a clear view through the passenger compartment despite the technical equipment - a rare and appreciated detail among model railroaders.
Technically sophisticated for smooth operation
The railcar is driven by a powerful miniature motor with flywheels, supplemented by a buffer capacitor for uninterrupted travel - even on demanding track systems. Both cars have separately switchable lighting functions, including the lamps above the driver's cabs and illuminated train destination displays.
Factory-equipped sound decoder for authentic operation
A high-quality PIKO sound decoder with loudspeaker is already installed ex works and brings the typical driving sound of the rail bus to your layout realistically. In combination with the switchable interior lighting and the light change in white/red depending on the direction of travel, an incomparable driving experience is created.
Ideal model for branch line or museum operation
With a length over buffers of 321 mm and a minimum radius of 360 mm, the set is ideal for regional and branch line operation of the 1990s or for modern museum railway scenarios. The "Ulmer Spatz" is a versatile addition to any Epoch V layout.
