Piko 52415 diesel locomotive BR 216, DB, Ep. IV Product Details

Description

Variant of the class 216 in the DB version in Era IV. In the 1960s and 1970s, the class V 160 or 216 was the express locomotive for lines without overhead wire on the German Federal Railroad. The new design of this important vehicle type not only closes a gap in the PIKO range, but will also enrich many model railway layouts of eras III to V with its numerous variants. The development team has implemented the striking design of the prototype in outstanding quality in the model and at the same time achieved ideal driving characteristics. These attributes are underlined by the effective use of perfect engravings and a paintwork that is consistent down to the smallest detail. Contemporary LED technology serves as the basis for the light change in red/white as well as the light functions that can be switched by retrofitting a digital decoder. The PluX22 digital interface in accordance with NEM 658 is state of the art and a decoder can simply be plugged in. The buffer beam of the vehicle can be completed in line with the prototype using the included accessories.
