Piko 71346 H0 Zweikraftlokomotive Vectron BR 248 039, ERC.D, Ep. VI, DC-Sound Product Details

Description

Are you looking for a modern H0 dual-power locomotive with DC sound for your Era VI layout?

The Piko 71346 H0 Vectron BR 248 039 dual-power locomotive, ERC.D, Era VI, DC sound is a EUROTRAIN exclusive model 2025 for model railroaders looking for a modern hybrid locomotive with digital equipment and sound. The model represents the hybrid locomotive 248 039 of ERC.D GmbH and is assigned to Era VI. This locomotive fits particularly well in modern H0 layouts with contemporary rail traffic due to its classification as a private railroad.

This version is specified as a DC sound version. The current system is 2L direct current DC, and digital: yes and sound: yes are also specified. The Piko 71346 is therefore aimed at model railroaders who want to integrate a dual-power locomotive with sound and digital equipment directly into their H0 fleet.

Prototype: Siemens Vectron as a modern locomotive platform

The Siemens Vectron is a locomotive platform from Siemens Mobility. Since 2010, it has been the successor to the electric EuroSprinter and the diesel-electric EuroRunner and its further development Siemens ES 2007. Both electric and diesel-electric locomotives are built on this platform.

The prototype has approvals in 20 countries. The production of the car bodies, parts of the pre-assembly and the final assembly take place in Munich-Allach. These details show that the Vectron is a modern and versatile locomotive platform that is ideally suited as a model for a contemporary H0 model.

Model realization of the Vectron Dual Mode

The large side surfaces with the striking fans and the roof with a pantograph characterize the appearance of the modern Vectron Dual Mode. It is precisely these characteristic features that are emphasized in the model description and give the locomotive its striking appearance.

Great importance was also attached to details in the design and tooling. These include extremely vivid engravings on the ventilation grilles and bogies with an outstanding visual depth effect. This gives the model a strong visual presence and, even on closer inspection, a detailed and high-quality finish.

Drive, digital operation and sound

Technically, the model continues the proven line of PIKO designs. It is driven by a powerful mid-mounted motor. Two flywheel masses ensure excellent running characteristics, while diagonally arranged traction tires make it possible to transport long trains.

In digital operation, the cab and cab lighting can be controlled digitally. The modern PluX22 interface makes it possible to quickly plug in a suitable decoder. In the item characteristics, this variant is specified as Digital: yes and Sound: yes, which clearly classifies it as a DC sound model within the variants mentioned.
