With this model, Piko presents an excellent form variant of Era IV with panoramic windows and extensive digital equipment.

High-quality technology with factory-fitted sound decoder

The model is equipped with a PluX22 sound decoder (NEM 658), which provides an authentic engine noise and other typical operating noises. The railcar also has factory-installed, switchable interior lighting that realistically illuminates the interior.
