The Piko 52324 H0 diesel locomotive V 100.10 is a detailed replica of the versatile "bread-and-butter locomotive" of the German Federal Railroad. This locomotive from Era III impresses with an exact reproduction of the prototype and is an indispensable model for all those who want to experience the historical flair of the German Federal Railroad era on their H0 layout. With high-quality materials and precisely designed details, this model brings the classic diesel technology of the 1950s and 1960s to the model railroad layout. Thanks to the integrated PluX22 interface, the model is perfectly prepared for simple sound retrofitting.

The prototype: The V 100.10 of the German Federal Railroad

The V 100.10 series was developed in the 1950s to meet the needs of the German Federal Railroad for a versatile diesel mainline locomotive. The locomotives in this series could be used for both passenger and freight transport and were characterized by their reliability and flexibility. In Era III (1950 to 1970), the V 100.10 with its striking construction and functional design was a familiar sight on the tracks of the DB and is today considered a symbol of classic German diesel technology. Piko has reproduced this locomotive in great detail so that model railroaders can experience the characteristic appearance and technology of the V 100.10 on their layout.

Piko: A guarantee for detailed model railways

Piko is a renowned model train manufacturer, known for precise and high-quality models. The V 100.10 in H0 from Piko impresses with its high level of detail, which realistically reproduces every element of the prototype. The finely etched grilles of the cooling system, the visible fan wheel and the vivid engravings on the stems and driver's cab give the model a high degree of authenticity. The filigree bogies and the numerous attached parts make the locomotive a real highlight on the model railway layout and demonstrate the craftsmanship that Piko puts into its models.

Era III: The heyday of the German Federal Railroad

Era III covers the years from 1950 to 1970 and represents a time of growth and modernization in German rail transport. The introduction of powerful diesel locomotives such as the V 100.10 reflects the progress and flexibility that was sought during this period. This locomotive was one of the mainstays of line operation and is an ideal model for anyone who wants to depict the golden era of the German Federal Railroad on their model railway layout.

Technical features and excellent driving characteristics

The Piko V 100.10 model is equipped with a powerful motor that ensures quiet and smooth running characteristics. All axles are driven and two traction tires provide additional traction, allowing the locomotive to work reliably even on longer trains and demanding routes. The die-cast zinc frame gives the model stability and durability, making it ideal for use on H0 layouts.

Digital retrofitting for sound and lighting

The Piko V 100.10 is equipped with an NEM 658 PluX22 interface, which enables uncomplicated retrofitting with a suitable sound decoder. The sound decoder (e.g. PIKO #56624) offers a realistic sound experience and brings the characteristic sounds of the original to the model railroad layout. The cab lighting can also be switched digitally via the interface so that model railroaders can further individualize and enhance the model.

LED light change for an authentic operating look

The model has LED lighting with direction-dependent light change (white/red), which makes operation even more realistic. This lighting is a typical feature of modern model locomotives and ensures a lively representation of the operation on the layout. This lighting function is particularly eye-catching in operation in darkened scenes and gives the locomotive an authentic appearance.

H0 gauge: Ideal for detailed model railroad layouts

The Piko V 100.10 is manufactured in H0 scale (1:87) and fits in perfectly with other vehicles and buildings from Era III. With a length over buffers of 139 mm and a minimum radius of 358 mm, this model is suitable for both compact and larger H0 layouts. The H0 scale is one of the most popular track gauges and enables a high level of detail and realistic operating sequences on the model railway layout.

Recommendation for model railroaders: A must for Era III collectors
