NEW Piko 52584 H0 Diesellok BR V200 1001, DR, Ep. III, „Messe Leipzig“

Piko 52584 H0 Diesel Locomotive BR V200 1001, DR, Ep. III, "Leipzig Trade Fair" - Unmistakable design meets GDR engineering skill

With the Piko 52584 diesel locomotive V200 1001 in the "Leipzig Trade Fair" version, PIKO is bringing a technically and historically significant locomotive to your H0 DC layout. The striking special design of the V180 series with fiberglass-reinforced body and inclined front windows represents an extraordinary technical innovation of the Deutsche Reichsbahn in Era III. This model is the ideal choice for model railroaders who value authentic and rare rolling stock.

Historic one-off with a special design

The V200 1001 was presented as a special design in 1965 under the project name "Messe Leipzig". The use of glass fiber-reinforced polyester for the roof and front section as well as the strikingly designed front windows were part of a long-term test on the use of materials and to improve the locomotive's ergonomics. PIKO implements this unique design with the highest precision - for a real highlight in everyday model railroading.

Digitally prepared technology with lighting functions

The model has an NEM 658 PluX22 interface and is therefore prepared for uncomplicated digitalization. The driver's cab lighting can be switched in digital mode (decoder required), while the direction of travel-dependent light change in white/red is already integrated as standard - for an atmospheric display by day and night.

Solid technology and flexible application options

The locomotive has a length over buffers of 224 mm and is suitable for radii from 358 mm. Two traction tires ensure good traction, even with longer train sets. The NEM shaft coupling with close coupler link allows easy integration into existing car fleets - both in passenger and freight train service.

Sound-capable thanks to simple retrofitting

For an even more authentic driving experience, the model can be retrofitted with the matching PIKO sound decoder #56554. This makes the locomotive an impressive acoustic highlight on your layout.

For collectors and railway enthusiasts with an eye for something special

The V200 1001 "Messe Leipzig" was a technically unique item - and this is exactly what makes it so special in the model. Whether as an eye-catcher in railroad operations or as an exclusive collector's model: this vehicle impresses with its rarity value and high level of detailing in equal measure.
