Piko 52979 H0 Desiro "bwegt" diesel railcar, DB AG, Ep. VI - Modern local transport in a regional design

The Piko H0 Desiro diesel railcar from DB AG in the eye-catching bwegt livery stands for modern local transportation in southwest Germany. The Desiro multiple unit developed by Siemens has been used in regional transportation since the 2000s - with high passenger comfort and good performance even on non-electrified routes. The model shown here corresponds to the current Era VI and bears the "bwegt" design of the state of Baden-Württemberg.

Modern in design - well thought-out in the model

The two-part model offers a clear view into the passenger compartment, factory-switchable interior lighting and detailed interior fittings. The detailed printing in true-to-original bwegt design rounds off the harmonious overall picture. The white/red light change depending on the direction of travel is included as standard.

Desiro - a successful model for regional transport

With its modular design, low entry heights and robust diesel drive, the Desiro has proven to be the ideal regional train for routes without overhead lines. In Baden-Württemberg, it operates on many lines in the striking bwegt design.

Digitizable & sound-capable

The model is equipped with an NEM 652 interface and can be retrofitted with a PIKO sound decoder (#56581). A special coupling for multiple traction is included - perfect for long Desiro train sets.
