Piko 71349 H0 Diesellok 4185 004 (DE 25), BASF, Ep. VI, DC-Sound

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

The Piko 71349 H0 diesel locomotive 4185 004 (DE 25), BASF, Era VI, DC sound is a EUROTRAIN exclusive model 2025 for model railroaders who are looking for a detailed diesel locomotive with digital equipment and sound. The model represents the diesel locomotive DE 25, 4185 004, BASF and is assigned to Era VI. This makes this locomotive particularly suitable for modern H0 layouts on which contemporary shunting and line service with a private railroad connection is to be depicted.

The 2L direct current DC, digital: yes and sound: yes version makes the Piko 71349 the right variant for model railroaders who do not want to retrofit first, but are looking directly for a digitally equipped sound locomotive. The locomotive combines a striking prototype history with a high-quality model realization and extensive technical equipment.

Prototype: Vossloh DE 18 for heavy shunting and mainline service

The Vossloh DE 18 is a series of diesel-electric locomotives. It is intended for heavy shunting and mainline service and has the axle arrangement Bo'Bo'. This locomotive series is built by Vossloh Rolling Stock.

It is particularly interesting to note that these are the first diesel-electric locomotives from the former MaK plant in Kiel since production of the DE 1002 was discontinued in 1993. This gives the prototype a clear technical and historical classification. For model railroad operation, this prototype basis brings a modern, performance-oriented locomotive theme to the layout.

Model conversion of the Piko 71349 in H0

According to the model description, the PIKO designers have succeeded in converting a prototype into H0 scale with flying colors. The result is a model that perfectly reproduces the overall appearance and characteristics of the DE 18. The Piko 71349 not only shows a modern diesel locomotive, but also many typical details that make the model visually particularly interesting.

These details include extremely vivid engravings on the ventilation grilles and bogies with an outstanding visual depth effect. These features ensure that the locomotive makes a strong impression even on closer inspection. The model is therefore aimed at customers who are not only looking for a locomotive with powerful functions, but also value an impressive exterior design.

Drive, sound and digital equipment

The powerful motor with two flywheel masses ensures smooth running. The tractive power is increased by two diagonally arranged traction tires. In conjunction with the digital equipment and the available sound, the result is a model that is particularly attractive for modern H0 operation.

In conjunction with a digital decoder, many prototypical lighting functions can be switched. According to the information available, the attractive driver's cab and driver's desk lighting is already a standard feature of new PIKO designs. The interior lighting on this model is also specified as yes. LEDs are specified as the light source.

Technical data and use on the layout

The Piko 71349 is designed in size H0. The class is diesel locomotive, the railroad company is listed as a private railroad. The model belongs to Era VI and uses the 2L direct current DC power system. The length over buffers is 196 mm, the specified minimum radius is 358 mm.

PluX22 is specified as the interface. The coupling system consists of a coupling shaft according to NEM with KK kinematics. The lighting is described as a red-white light change. The model therefore offers important features for use in digital H0 model railroad operation.
