Historical background of the prototype
The class 232, often also called "Ludmilla", is one of the most powerful diesel locomotives in the German network. Originally designed for heavy block trains and international services, it was later used in construction and work traffic - especially where there were no overhead electric lines. The DB Bahnbau Group still uses these machines today for demanding tasks on the rail network.
Compatibility & expansion options
The Piko-232 is compatible with all common H0 track systems. Thanks to the PluX22 interface, it can be easily retrofitted for digital controls and sound decoders - so you can expand the model later and make it even more lively.
