The prototype: The class 111 in German rail traffic

The class 111 has been an integral part of German rail transport since the mid-1970s. It was originally developed for long-distance transportation and later took on important tasks in local and regional transportation as well as in the S-Bahn service. The four-axle electric locomotive quickly proved itself as a reliable workhorse on various routes, including the dense network of the Rhine-Ruhr area.

Since the 1990s, the BR 111, in its characteristic traffic red livery, has shaped the image of Deutsche Bahn's modern local transport services. Over the years, the appearance of this locomotive has changed several times, but the red-painted version with graffiti, which the Piko model reproduces, shows a modern and realistic interpretation of today. Graffiti is now part of everyday life in urban areas and can be found on many locomotives and wagons, giving the model a particularly authentic look.

The finely applied paintwork in combination with the various graffiti gives the locomotive a unique charm and makes it an unmistakable specimen on any model railway layout.

In addition to the aesthetic details, the locomotive offers numerous technical functions that make it a versatile model. A light change between white and red depending on the direction of travel ensures authentic operation, while the LED lighting provides clear and bright lighting effects. The digitally switchable lighting in the driver's cab and engine room increases the realism and allows the model to be shown to its best advantage even in darker scenarios.
