Piko 59942 Diesel locomotive BR 119 DR IV: Novelty 2023 for Era IV fans

The Piko 59942 BR 119 DR IV diesel locomotive is a highly detailed replica of the famous diesel locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) and was specially developed for fans of Era IV. This new model from 2023 impresses with its striking design and the authentic positioning of the headlights at the bottom. With its high level of detail and state-of-the-art technologies, the BR 119 meets all the requirements of experienced model railroaders and collectors who value historical accuracy and quality.

The prototype: The BR 119 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn

The class 119 was one of the DR's best-known diesel locomotives and was manufactured in Romania by Electroputere in the 1970s. It was primarily used for passenger and freight traffic on main and branch lines and was highly valued for its high tractive power and versatility. The BR 119 was particularly notable for its striking design and low headlights, which gave it a unique look. Thanks to Piko, model railroaders can now experience this special piece of railroad history on their layouts.

Piko - model making with the highest precision and attention to detail

For decades, Piko has stood for high-quality model trains and accessories that are characterized by attention to detail and high-quality workmanship. The Sonneberg-based company attaches particular importance to historical accuracy and technical precision, and the Piko 59942 BR 119 DR IV diesel locomotive is an excellent example of this claim. Piko has equipped this locomotive with state-of-the-art technology so that model railroaders can enjoy this model in both analog and digital operation.

Technical details of the Piko 59942 BR 119 DR IV diesel locomotive

The BR 119 from Piko has a variety of technical features that enhance the model not only visually but also functionally. The locomotive is equipped with a direct current power system and is prepared for simple sound retrofitting. With the help of the NEM 652 digital interface, the optionally available PIKO sound decoder (#56557) can be easily retrofitted to provide the model with realistic sound effects. The model is therefore ideal for model railroaders who want to upgrade their layout with sound and light functions.

With a length over buffers (LüP) of 224 mm and a minimum radius of 358 mm, the Piko BR 119 is ideally suited for the H0 gauge. The locomotive has a direction-dependent light change in white and red, which makes the driving experience particularly realistic. Two traction tires provide the necessary traction so that the model guarantees a stable ride even on demanding track sections.

Optimum compatibility and equipment

The Piko 59942 BR 119 DR IV diesel locomotive is equipped with a standard coupling shaft according to NEM and a close coupling link, which makes it particularly flexible and compatible with other vehicles and wagons on the model railway layout. This means that you can easily add the BR 119 to existing train formations. The age recommendation is 14 years, making the model an excellent choice for both experienced model railroaders and young railroad fans.

Conclusion: The Piko 59942 BR 119 DR IV diesel locomotive - a must-have for Era IV fans

The Piko 59942 BR 119 DR IV diesel locomotive is an excellent choice for model railroaders who want to integrate a faithful replica of the BR 119 on their layout. The combination of historical accuracy, simple sound retrofitting and high-quality materials makes this locomotive a real highlight. Thanks to the integrated light change and the option of digital control, the BR 119 DR IV offers an authentic and exciting driving experience. For collectors and model railroaders who want to revive the charm of Era IV, the Piko BR 119 DR IV is a worthwhile investment.
