The Piko 59587 V 180 diesel locomotive is a detailed reproduction of the legendary V 180 locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn, which became famous above all for its versatility and performance in mainline service. The 6-axle design and the characteristic red-beige color scheme make this model an authentic piece of Era III railroad history that will cause a stir on any model railroad layout.
The V 180 class of the Deutsche Reichsbahn is a milestone in the railroad history of the former GDR. Developed in the 1960s, it became the most powerful diesel locomotive for mainline service and was considered the backbone of diesel traction in the eastern part of Germany. With its two diesel engines and robust design, the V 180 was ideally equipped for use on main and branch lines as well as in freight and passenger transport.
Equipped with six axles, the V 180 could also handle heavier trains without any problems and was characterized by its high reliability and ease of maintenance. Its red and beige paintwork quickly became a symbol of the Reichsbahn in the 1960s and 1970s, which still makes it popular with model train fans and railroad enthusiasts today.
For many decades, the model train manufacturer Piko has stood for high-quality model trains that impress with their attention to detail and reliability. Piko has made a name for itself particularly in the reproduction of historical locomotives and with the V 180 offers a model that meets these requirements in every respect.
The Piko 59587 is not only an exact replica of the original, but also combines state-of-the-art technology with nostalgic charm. The manufacturer has made sure that the model of the V 180 is not only visually impressive, but also has a high level of operational reliability and solid workmanship. This makes the locomotive suitable for both ambitious model train enthusiasts and collectors of historical railroad models.
The Piko 59587 diesel locomotive V 180 in the 6-axle version is equipped with several outstanding technical features that make operation on the model railroad particularly realistic and flexible:
The Piko 59587 V 180 is equipped with a digital interface in accordance with NEM 652, which makes it easy to retrofit with a digital decoder. For even more authenticity, the Piko sound module (Piko no. 56557) can be retrofitted as an option, which produces realistic operating sounds and makes the driving experience on the layout even more lively. This locomotive is designed for the direct current system (DC) and can therefore be used on both analog and digital layouts.
With the Piko 59587 V 180 diesel locomotive, you are getting a high-quality locomotive on your layout that is equally impressive due to its historical significance and its technical possibilities. Thanks to the well thought-out detailed solutions and the optional sound module, the locomotive offers not only visual but also acoustic authenticity. This makes it an ideal choice for model railroaders who want to reproduce the flair of Era III in true detail and at the same time have high demands on the technology of their models.
