Description

Piko 59726 H0 Diesel locomotive BR 220, DB, Ep. IV

The Piko 59726 BR 220 diesel locomotive is a successful replica of the striking Bundesbahn diesel locomotive from Era IV. This print variant impresses with its prototypical implementation and is a real highlight for all model railroaders who want to realistically represent the classic appearance of the German Federal Railroad on their layouts.

Typical appearance of the 1970s

The BR 220 - formerly the V 200 - is a symbol of the heavy diesel operation of the 1960s and 1970s in West Germany. With its powerful front, clear design and characteristic twin-engine look, it was widely used in heavy passenger and freight train service. PIKO has realized this 1:87 scale model with great attention to detail.

The locomotive impresses with clean printing, harmonious coloring and a dynamic silhouette. The solid mechanical construction with two traction tires ensures excellent traction performance - ideal for use in longer train sets.

Technically prepared for the future

The model is equipped with an NEM 658 PluX22 digital interface and is therefore ready for simple retrofitting of a digital decoder. The locomotive is also prepared for the installation of a sound decoder - we recommend the PIKO sound decoder #56541, which is available for this model.

Prototypical lighting and coupling technology

A light change in white/red depending on the direction of travel provides an authentic picture during operation. The locomotive has NEM shafts with close coupler linkage, which makes close and prototypical car connections possible.

The perfect introduction to the world of the BR 220

The Piko 59726 BR 220 is a well-thought-out choice for collectors, beginners and operating railroaders alike: robust, true to detail and technically flexible - now available in the model railway store!
