Description

Piko 52618 H0 Diesel locomotive class 221 blue/beige, DB, Ep. IV, DC sound - Powerful classic of the German Federal Railroad with sound

With its striking blue/beige color scheme, the Piko 52618 BR 221 diesel locomotive brings the typical atmosphere of the German Federal Railroad in Era IV to your H0 DC layout. As a variant version without decorative strips, the model is based on the prototype of the later years of this locomotive series. Technically, it is based on the proven PIKO design of the V200.1 (#52600) and offers the highest model construction quality combined with an impressive soundscape.

Authentic color scheme and prototypical design

The blue/beige paintwork represents the classic design of the DB in the 1970s. The version without decorative strips represents the further development of the BR 221 in service. PIKO has implemented this variant with great care and high attention to detail - ideal for model railroaders who pay attention to historical accuracy and variety.

Powerful sound model ex works

Equipped with a factory-fitted PIKO XP sound decoder and matching loudspeaker, the locomotive delivers a powerful and realistic sound experience. Digitally switchable cab lighting and a light change in white/red depending on the direction of travel underline the modern features of this DC model.

Impressive technology

The locomotive is prepared for digital operation and equipped with an NEM 658 PluX22 interface. Two traction tires ensure excellent traction, even with longer trains. The NEM shaft couplings with close coupler link ensure realistic car spacing and a reliable connection with the rest of the fleet.

Universally applicable on direct current systems

With a clearance of 212 mm and a minimum radius of 358 mm, the class 221 can be used on almost all H0 layouts. Whether in heavy passenger or freight train service - the locomotive always cuts a fine figure and brings additional atmosphere to the tracks thanks to sound and lighting technology.
