Description

Piko 52911 BR 132 diesel locomotive with narrow stripe, DR, Ep. IV: Detailed diesel locomotive with sound

The Piko 52911 BR 132 diesel locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) from Era IV is a high-quality model that impresses with its exact reproduction and extensive technical equipment. This print version of the BR 132 with a narrow stripe shows all the characteristic features of the prototype locomotive and has been realized by Piko with great attention to detail. With its fine paintwork, the free-standing grab irons and the factory-installed sound function, the locomotive offers a realistic and impressive driving experience.

Prototype: The German State Railroad class 132

The class 132, also known as the "Ludmilla", was a powerful diesel locomotive that was used for freight and passenger transport by the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the GDR. These locomotives were built in the Soviet Union and shaped the image of the DR lines in Era IV. The BR 132 is characterized by its robust running characteristics and striking appearance, which is also faithfully captured in the Piko model. The model with the narrow stripe in particular shows a characteristic livery variant that was frequently seen on the DR.

Technical details and features of the Piko 52911

The Piko 52911 BR 132 model impresses with numerous technical refinements and a detailed design. The sturdy die-cast zinc frame ensures high stability and a long service life. The locomotive is driven by a powerful five-pole motor which, in combination with two balanced flywheels, ensures particularly smooth and even running characteristics. Power is taken from all wheels, which increases operational safety even on longer sections of track.

The model has LED lighting that allows the lights to change from white to red depending on the direction of travel. The driver's cab lighting can also be switched digitally and provides a realistic representation of the driver's cab. The lighting and sound functions are controlled by the factory-fitted PluX22 sound decoder, which authentically reproduces the typical sound of the BR 132.

Sound and digital control

The sound version of the Piko 52911 BR 132 is equipped with a factory-installed PluX22 sound decoder that provides an impressive sound experience. The sound functions include typical sounds of the diesel locomotive, such as the engine noise, starting and braking noises as well as various signal horns. The sound decoder can be easily integrated into digital model railway layouts and enables the lighting and sound functions to be controlled via the DCC system.

The locomotive is designed for direct current (DC) operation and can be used flexibly in digital model railroad layouts thanks to the NEM 658 PluX22 interface. The model has two traction tires that are arranged diagonally on the inner axles of the two bogies, which ensures excellent tractive power and stability.

Recommended purchase: A highlight for DR fans and sound enthusiasts

The Piko 52911 BR 132 diesel locomotive with narrow stripe is a must for all model railroaders who value historical accuracy and outstanding technical features. With its detailed realization, factory-fitted sound function and robust technology, this locomotive offers an authentic driving experience on any H0 layout. The reliable drive, the extensive digital control options and the high-quality workmanship make this locomotive a highlight on any layout.

Whether in freight or passenger traffic, the Piko BR 132 impresses with its powerful drive and realistic sound effects. Thanks to the switchable cab lighting and the light change depending on the direction of travel, the model offers not only visual but also technical driving pleasure. A worthwhile investment for collectors and model railroaders alike.
