Piko 52967 H0-diesel locomotive V 160 010, DB, Ep.III Product Details

Description

About the original: The V160 was developed at the end of the 1950s until the beginning of the 1960s for the DB as a single-engine, medium-duty mainline diesel locomotive. The pre-series models were built in 1960, the series locomotives from 1964-1968. As local passenger coaches were no longer steam-heated from 1998, the locomotives were transferred to the DB Cargo fleet and were initially used for freight transport. The last DB V160 was taken out of service in 2004. Some locomotives were sold to private railroad companies or abroad, e.g. to Italy and France, where some of them are still in use today.

About the model: With this model of the V160, Piko is reproducing one of the series locomotives. These differed from the pre-series models mainly in the shape of the vehicle head. This was still rounded in the pre-series and was flattened for series production. Piko reproduces this detail as well as many others on the chassis and vehicle body excellently. Engravings and precise printing complete the great look. This is complemented by a powerful motor with excellent running characteristics and Plux22 interface to create an all-round successful model.
