Piko 52417 diesel locomotive BR 216, DB, Ep. IV (incl. sound) AC current/AC

Novelty 2022: Variant of the class 216 in the DB version in Era IV. The class V 160 or 216 was the express locomotive for lines without catenary wire on the German Federal Railroad in the 1960s and 1970s. The new design of this important vehicle type not only closes a gap in PIKO's assortment, but will also enrich many model railroad layouts of epochs III to V with numerous variants. The development team has implemented the striking styling of the prototype in outstanding quality in the model and at the same time achieved ideal driving characteristics. These attributes are underscored by the effective use of perfect engravings and a paint scheme that is coherent 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 sound models come with a factory-installed sound decoder that can be used with the mfx® digital protocol. The vehicle's buffer beam can be completed prototypically with included add-on parts.
