The Piko 59430 VT 612 "Regioswinger" diesel rail car is a high-quality, detailed model that perfectly reproduces the well-known Deutsche Bahn (DB AG) railcar in the design of Era V. This model is an outstanding addition to any H0 layout, especially for model railroaders who are looking for a modern regional railcar. Equipped with factory-installed interior lighting and a realistic light change depending on the direction of travel, the VT 612 brings authentic movement and liveliness to your layout.
The VT 612, also known as the "Regioswinger", is a modern diesel railcar used by DB Regio for local and regional transport in Germany. This vehicle is mainly used on winding routes, where its tilting technology ensures greater comfort and faster journey times. The VT 612 has been in use since Era V and has proven itself as a reliable vehicle for passenger transport. Its modern, streamlined design and the typical DB Regio color scheme make it a real eye-catcher in rail traffic.
The model of the VT 612 from Piko is designed in the current DB Regio livery and offers a high level of detail, which includes both the exterior appearance and the interior. The modern color scheme and precise printing give the model the authentic appearance of the prototype. With a length over buffers of 590 mm and a robust construction, the model is ideally designed for H0 layouts. The interior lighting is already installed at the factory and provides a realistic representation of the passengers in the train, which brings the "Regioswinger" to life, especially at dusk and in the dark.
The VT 612 diesel railcar has numerous technical functions that make it versatile and attractive on the model railroad. A light change in white and red depending on the direction of travel ensures that the head and tail lights are automatically adapted to the direction of travel, which increases the realism of the model. The factory-installed interior lighting is digitally switchable and can be easily controlled via the digital interface.
The model is equipped with an NEM-652 interface, which makes it easy to retrofit with a PIKO sound decoder #56619. This decoder offers a variety of realistic sounds and driving noises that enrich the driving experience. In addition, there are two traction tires that provide strong tractive force so that the VT 612 is also safe on longer trains and on winding sections of track.
The model of the VT 612 is assigned to Era V, which covers the 1990s and early 2000s. During this time, DB Regio began to modernize modern regional transport and the "Regioswinger" was introduced in order to run faster and more comfortably. This era is particularly attractive for model railroaders as it represents the transition from classic to modern train services and brought numerous innovative train types to the routes. The VT 612 is a prime example of this change and is the perfect addition to any Era V layout.
The Piko model is designed for use on H0 layouts and is suitable for DC systems. It is compatible with a minimum radius of 358 mm, which makes it suitable for various track layouts and curves. The close coupling link and the NEM coupling shaft ensure a stable connection between the cars, which is important for safe operation with a diesel railcar.
The Piko 59430 VT 612 "Regioswinger" diesel railcar is a modern and detailed model that impresses with its numerous functions and high-quality workmanship. With its digital interface, switchable interior lighting and the option of retrofitting sound, it is the ideal choice for model railroaders who value modern technology and realistic details.
