Piko 52407 diesel locomotive V 160, DB, Ep. III (incl. sound) AC current/AC

Piko 52407 Diesel locomotive V 160, DB, Ep. III (incl. sound) - A masterpiece for your H0 layout

The Piko 52407 V 160 diesel locomotive in the Era III version of the German Federal Railroad is an impressive model for H0 railroads. With an authentic replica of the V 160, also known as the BR 216, Piko brings the characteristic elegance and strength of this locomotive to your layout. The model is equipped with a factory-installed PIKO sound decoder and digitally switchable cab lighting, which makes operation on the layout even more realistic. The precise drive and high-quality workmanship make this model an indispensable item for collectors and model train builders.

Technical sophistication and design at the highest level

The class 216 diesel locomotive, also known as the V 160, was the workhorse of the German Federal Railroad. In Era III, these locomotives made a significant contribution to the transportation of freight and passenger trains. The Piko model impresses with many technical details, including the PSD XP 5.1 sound decoder, which ensures realistic acoustics, and the digitally switchable driver's cab lighting, which gives the model additional realism. The filigree parts such as the ventilation grilles and the typical design of the locomotive add to the authenticity.

Another technical highlight is the direction of travel-dependent light change in white and red, which prepares the locomotive perfectly for operation in a modern model railway environment. The robust design and the traction tires on the wheels ensure optimum tractive power so that even heavier trains can be pulled without any problems. All axles are driven, which further increases the performance of the model.

Realistic operation with sound and light functions

Thanks to the integrated PIKO sound decoder, the driving experience with the V 160 on your layout is even more impressive. The soundscape ranges from authentic diesel engine noises to typical shunting noises, which enrich the entire driving experience. Even when stationary, the locomotive impresses with realistic sound effects that ensure a high play value.

The driver's cab lighting and engine room lighting can also be switched digitally and contribute to the realistic representation of the locomotive. The use of this lighting is particularly effective in dark scenarios and makes the model look even livelier in operation. The option of illuminating the interior is a real plus for collectors who value a detailed representation of their models.

Perfect integration into your track system

The V 160 diesel locomotive is compatible with all standard H0 AC systems and can be seamlessly integrated into existing track systems. Thanks to the NEM 658 PluX22 interface, you can easily replace or update the decoder if necessary. The model has two traction tires that provide increased traction and ensure that the locomotive works reliably even with heavy train loads.

The locomotive's couplings are manufactured according to the NEM standard and have a close coupler link, which enables a close distance between cars and improves interaction with other vehicles on the layout. With a minimum radius of 358 mm, the locomotive is also suitable for more complex track systems and offers maximum flexibility in the design of your layout.

Conclusion: A must for collectors and model railroaders

The Piko 52407 V 160 diesel locomotive is an impressive model that combines technical innovation with prototypical design. The factory-integrated sound decoder and the switchable lighting make this model a highlight on any H0 layout. The robust construction and the detailed reproduction of the V 160 from Era III make this locomotive an indispensable item for collectors and railroad enthusiasts. Whether as a workhorse on the track or as a collector's item in the display case - the V 160 is impressive in every respect.
