Piko 52157 H0 Diesel locomotive BR 232, railroad construction, Ep. VI, AC sound - Powerhouse for modern track construction

With the Piko 52157 BR 232 diesel locomotive in the eye-catching color scheme of the DB Bahnbau Group, PIKO offers a powerful model of one of the most important diesel locomotives in Germany. The locomotive impresses with its high tractive power, robust design and authentic sound - ideal for use in construction and work train scenarios on your H0 Era VI AC layout.

Faithful implementation of the railroad construction version

The class 232, also known as the "Ludmilla", was specially designed in this version for the DB Bahnbau Group. The model faithfully reflects the locomotive's role in material transport, work trains and transfer runs - including period-correct paintwork, precise lettering and the typical light changes in red/white.

Technology at the highest level - including sound ex works

Equipped with a factory-fitted PluX22 sound decoder and large loudspeaker, the model offers a realistic sound of the heavy diesel locomotive. The light changes depending on the direction of travel using LED technology. The driver's cab lighting is also already integrated - perfect for atmospheric scenarios in modern model railroad operation.

Solid construction for demanding operations

With a length over buffers of 239 mm and a minimum radius of 358 mm, the locomotive is ideal for tracks with normal radii. Coupling is via NEM shafts with close coupler link, allowing the locomotive to be easily integrated into existing train sets - especially in combination with construction and work train cars.

For authentic railroad construction and maintenance scenarios

The class 232 from Bahnbau DB AG is predestined for use on branch lines, closed sections of track or in construction train formations - both as a solo locomotive and in double traction. A must for all those who want to recreate the modern infrastructure of the railroad on their layout.
