The Railjet is one of the fastest locomotive-hauled trains in the world and stands for modern, intercontinental train connections within Europe. This starter set has been specially developed for model railway beginners and fans of modern trains and provides everything you need for a fast-paced introduction to the hobby: a spacious oval of H0 track with ballast, the powerful Railjet train of the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) and a complete control unit with speed controller and power supply unit.
The Railjet is a joint train type operated by the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) in cooperation with Deutsche Bahn (DB), the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) and the Hungarian state railroad Magyar Államvasutak (MÁV). This high-speed train offers a fast and comfortable connection between major cities such as Vienna, Munich, Zurich and Budapest and is characterized by its speed, efficiency and high-quality equipment. The Railjet is pulled by a powerful electric locomotive and reaches speeds of up to 230 km/h. The combination of high speed and luxurious interior has made the Railjet a popular means of transportation for travelers in Europe.
The PIKO model of this famous train is based on the modern Railjet version of the ÖBB in Era VI and has the elegant color design of the original. With an overall length of 1013 mm, the model makes an impressive impression on any H0 layout and allows model railroaders to experience the authentic atmosphere of a European high-speed train in small format.
PIKO is known for its excellent model quality and its comprehensive product portfolio in the world of model railroading. The starter set with Rail Jet ÖBB bedding continues this tradition and impresses with a careful and realistic replica of the prototype. The locomotive and the three wagons in the set have a detailed design and are painted in the characteristic Railjet color scheme, which is deep blue and grey with striking red stripes. This color scheme gives the model a modern, elegant look and ensures that it fits perfectly into any H0 model railway layout.
The high quality of workmanship ensures that the Railjet remains durable and reliable even with frequent use. PIKO has also made sure that the locomotive and carriages have a high level of detail - from the windows and doors to the ÖBB logos and lettering. This makes the Railjet not only an exciting vehicle for model railroaders, but also an attractive collector's item.
The PIKO Railjet in the starter set runs on the direct current system and is designed for the H0 gauge. The train is ideal for beginners and offers very smooth running and precise driving characteristics. The minimum radius of 358 mm allows the model to negotiate tight curves, which ensures maximum flexibility when setting up the layout. With a train length of 1013 mm, the Railjet also offers an impressive presence and is ideal for longer routes on the layout.
The set is equipped with a solid speed controller and a power supply unit to ensure a reliable power supply. The track sections are equipped with ballast, providing additional stability and an authentic ballast design that makes for a quick and uncomplicated set-up experience, especially for beginners. The ballast ensures that the track remains stable on the base and looks particularly realistic, making the model railroad experience even more intense.
