Piko 71347 H0 Zweikraftlokomotive Vectron BR 248 039, ERC.D, Ep. VI, AC-Sound

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

The Piko 71347 H0 Vectron BR 248 039 dual-power locomotive, ERC.D, Era VI, AC sound is a model for model railroaders who are looking for a modern hybrid locomotive with digital equipment, sound and AC system. The locomotive is H0 scale and belongs to the Hybrid class. The railroad company is indicated as Privatbahn and the time classification is Era VI.

With its design as a 3L AC model, the Piko 71347 is particularly aimed at model railroaders who need a suitable dual-power locomotive for AC operation. The indications Digital: yes and Sound: yes make it clear that this variant represents the AC sound version within the model series mentioned.

Prototype: Siemens Vectron as a versatile 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 the platform.

The Siemens Vectron 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. The prototype therefore has a modern and internationally oriented background that fits particularly well with a model railroad world of Era VI.

Model realization of the modern Vectron Dual Mode

The appearance of the modern Vectron Dual Mode is characterized by the large side surfaces with the striking fans and the roof with a pantograph. It is precisely these characteristic elements that determine the effect of the model and give the locomotive its modern appearance.

Great importance was 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. These details emphasize the careful implementation and make the model interesting even on closer inspection.

Technology, drive and digital options

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. Diagonally arranged traction tires make it possible to move 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. The model is also prepared for the uncomplicated retrofitting of sound with the largest possible loudspeaker. In the version described here, digital and sound are already specified as yes.

Technical data of the Piko 71347

The length over buffers is 230 mm. The specified minimum radius is 358 mm. The lighting is described as a red-white light change. LEDs are specified as the light source.

The coupling system consists of a coupling shaft according to NEM with KK kinematics. The combination of H0, 3L alternating current AC, PluX22 interface, sound, digital equipment and LED lighting makes the Piko 71347 a suitable choice for modern H0 layouts with an alternating current system.
