Piko 71352 E-Lok 144 021, DB, Ep. IV, DC-Sound Product Details

Description

Are you looking for a PIKO electric locomotive 144 021 with sound for your H0 collection?

The Piko 71352 electric locomotive 144 021, DB, Ep. IV, DC sound is a EUROTRAIN exclusive model 2025 and is aimed at model railroaders and collectors who are looking for a detailed electric locomotive with sound equipment. The model belongs to the well-known PIKO E 44 or 144 family and combines an interesting prototype history with a carefully described model realization.

This model is particularly exciting for all those who value a precisely executed H0 locomotive with digital equipment. The item details state the size H0, the type of electric locomotive, the DB railroad company, the 2L DC power system as well as digital: yes and sound: yes. This clearly classifies the Piko 71352 as a DC sound version of the electric locomotive 144 021.

Prototype of the E 44 and 144 021

The success story of the E 44 series began in 1930 with the E 44 001 pre-series locomotive built by Siemens-Schuckertwerke. It was followed in 1932 by the first series of electric locomotives without running axles with single-axle drive in Germany. This information clearly shows the importance of this locomotive family in the history of electric locomotives.

The PIKO E 44 is also described as a success story in the available information. As part of this project, the well-known pre-series locomotive E 44 001, later 144 001-5, was realized as a large series model for the first time. The Piko 71352 is therefore part of a model environment that is closely associated with this well-known series.

Model realization with precise detail work

According to the information provided, the miniatures of both the pre-production and series locomotives impress with their exact scale implementation. Sharp and precise engravings on the body provide an enormous three-dimensional depth and underline the excellent overall impression. This description shows that the visual effect of the model is achieved particularly strongly through the housing details and clean engravings.

This depth of detail is also continued in the chassis area. Numerous specially attached parts on the striking bogies are mentioned there. Although the model quality is described as identical, the differences between the prototype locomotives have been implemented in the model with the greatest possible depth of detail. As a result, the model does not have a general appearance, but is carefully adapted to the respective prototype version.

Technical features of the Piko 71352

The Piko 71352 is specified with a PluX22 interface. The model is digital and has sound. The power system specified is 2L direct current DC. The length over buffers is 176 mm, the minimum radius is 358 mm. The coupling system is specified as a coupling shaft according to NEM with KK kinematics.

The lighting is described as red-white light change. There is also interior lighting. LEDs are mentioned as the light source. The model information also describes that it is possible to retrofit a digital decoder with the PluX22 interface and that it is possible to switch the engine room and driver's cab lighting, for example, in this constellation.

Variants within the model series

The information provided mentions three variants: Piko 71351 - Electric locomotive 144 021, DB Ep. IV, Piko 71352 - Electric locomotive 144 021, DB Ep. IV, DC sound and Piko 71353 - Electric locomotive 144 021, DB Ep. IV, AC sound. The version described here is the DC sound version with item number 71352.

The locomotive is referred to as DB Ep. IV in the product description and in the variants. Era VI is also stated in the item characteristics. This information is deliberately reproduced here unchanged, as both pieces of information are contained in the data provided.
