PIKO 59179 H0 Diesel locomotive G1700, GKB, Era VI

The PIKO 59179 is a finely detailed replica of the G1700 diesel locomotive in service on the Graz-Köflacher Bahn (GKB), an Austrian private railroad. This model in Era VI impresses with precise engravings on the stems, a clear view into the center cab and cleanly mounted railings. The revised model update with a new PluX22 interface makes this locomotive a modern and future-proof addition to any H0 layout.

Prototype: G1700 - Versatile center cab locomotive for shunting and mainline service

The G1700 is a powerful diesel-hydraulic locomotive with a center cab that is primarily used for heavy shunting and light mainline service. Operators such as GKB value these machines for their flexibility, robustness and ease of maintenance. The striking silhouette with the asymmetrical front ends is typical of this series and has been accurately reproduced in the model.

Model technology and equipment

The model is equipped with a PluX22 digital interface in accordance with NEM 658 and is ready for retrofitting with the PIKO sound decoder #56652. The lights change in white/white depending on the direction of travel. The open cab area and the open railings give the model a particularly realistic appearance. The locomotive is designed for operation on direct current systems and has an NEM shaft coupler (without close coupler link).
