Piko 55931 H0 Diesellok D.445, FS, Ep. IV, AC-Sound + Digitalkupplung Product Details

Description

Piko 55931 H0 Diesel locomotive D.445, FS, Ep. IV, AC sound + digital coupler - AC version with mfx®-compatible sound decoder

With the Piko 55931 H0 Diesel Locomotive D.445, Piko is launching an exclusive AC version of this legendary Italian diesel locomotive in a technically optimized Expert Plus version. The locomotive impresses with its detailed design, an exact replica of the third construction series and high-quality printing based on the Ferrovie dello Stato (FS) model. Intricate elements such as moving fan wheels under finely etched grilles and a realistic color scheme make this model a highlight for AC systems.

Authentic realization of Era IV

The D.445 series was one of the most important diesel locomotives in Italy and had a significant influence on rail traffic in Era IV. The model faithfully reproduces the typical features of the third series, including the striking green bad weather signal at the front. The faithful reproduction ensures a realistic appearance on any H0 layout.

Factory-equipped with Piko sound decoder and mfx® support

The Piko 55931 diesel locomotive D.445 is already equipped ex works with a powerful Piko sound decoder, which enables numerous realistic sound and light functions. The model bears the "fits mfx®" quality mark, which guarantees full compatibility with the Märklin mfx® system. This means that all digital functions can be optimally controlled on Märklin digital control centers.

Exclusive Expert Plus functions for maximum operating reality

As an Expert Plus model, the locomotive offers a number of additional functions that ensure a particularly realistic driving experience. The digital couplers on both sides of the locomotive enable automatic coupling and uncoupling via digital control, which is particularly advantageous in shunting operation. A pulsed vaporizer simulates realistic vehicle exhaust fumes, while motor-driven fan wheels on the roof provide an impressive representation of the cooling mechanism. The digitally switchable driver's cab lighting and the white/red light change depending on the direction of travel round off the model.

Perfect for AC systems - compatibility & expansion options

The model is specially designed for AC operation and has an NEM 658 PluX22 interface. It is suitable for H0 track systems with a minimum radius of 358 mm and, with its length over buffers of 162 mm, fits perfectly with Italian wagon trains from Era IV.

Scope of delivery

The scope of delivery includes the Piko 55931 H0 diesel locomotive D.445 with factory-installed sound decoder and digital coupler, detailed instructions and accessories.
