The prototype: ČD Desiro

Its characteristic design and high reliability make it a popular choice for use in passenger transportation.

Piko: Attention to detail and quality

The model impresses with its precise reproduction and prototypical paintwork. The switchable factory-equipped interior lighting underlines the high-quality impression, while the direction-dependent light change (white/red) is realized with modern LED technology. A special coupling for multiple traction makes it possible to use several railcars in one train set.

Retrofit options for digital control and sound

The railcar is equipped with an NEM 652 interface and can be digitally retrofitted in no time at all. It is also prepared for retrofitting a Piko PSD XP sound decoder (#56581), which provides realistic operating sounds with a powerful loudspeaker.

Technical features and driving characteristics

The model offers excellent driving characteristics, supported by two traction tires that provide additional traction. With a length over buffers of 479 mm and a minimum radius of 358 mm, the Desiro is ideal for demanding track layouts. The high-quality workmanship and the versatile functions make this railcar an indispensable part of modern model railroad layouts.

Era VI: Modern regional traffic

Era VI (from 2007) stands for modern rail transport, which is characterized by technological progress and the privatization of many railroad companies. The ČD Desiro is a typical representative of this era and allows you to depict realistic scenarios of current regional traffic.
