The Piko 96394 H0 electric locomotive EP08 is a precise and impressive replica of the famous Polish electric locomotive EP08 of the PKP (Polskie Koleje Państwowe) from Era IV. This locomotive, originally developed as the EU07, impresses as an Expert model with its detailed equipment, excellent driving characteristics and realistic sound and lighting functions. With a heavy die-cast zinc frame and numerous attached parts, the Piko EP08 brings Polish railroad history to your model railroad layout in true detail.
The EP08 series is a further development of the EU07, one of the best-known locomotive series of the Polish state railroad PKP. It was specially developed in the 1970s for express train services and enabled higher speeds on Poland's most important railroad lines. In Era IV, which spanned from around 1970 to 1985, locomotives such as the EP08 with their striking shape and eye-catching paintwork were a familiar sight on the Polish railroad network. They offered powerful performance and reliability that were indispensable for express train service.
Piko is a leading model railway manufacturer that is characterized by quality and precision. The Piko EP08 was designed and realized with great attention to detail. The model belongs to the Expert series and features intricate add-on parts such as signal horns, free-standing grab irons, realistic roof aerials and finely designed pantographs. This level of detail and the precise color scheme make the EP08 a real eye-catcher on any model railway layout.
Era IV represents the period from 1970 to 1985 and was a phase of growth and modernization in European railroad history. During this period, the PKP invested in powerful locomotives such as the EP08, which were specially developed for higher speeds in express train services. The striking color scheme and technology of these locomotives make them an indispensable component for model railway layouts that want to depict this historical phase.
The Piko EP08 is equipped with a powerful motor that guarantees a smooth and even ride thanks to two large, precisely balanced flywheel masses. All axles are driven and two traction tires provide the necessary traction. The heavy die-cast zinc frame gives the model additional stability and enables a high tractive force so that it can easily pull longer train sets. This combination of high-quality technology and robust workmanship makes the model a reliable and powerful towing vehicle.
The Piko EP08 has modern LED lighting, which allows the light to change between white and red depending on the direction of travel and ensures an authentic driving experience. The driver's cab lighting can also be switched digitally so that you can use the model even more realistically on your layout. This lighting can be controlled by the factory-fitted PluX22 sound decoder, which enables simple operation and integration into digital systems.
This model is equipped with a factory-installed PIKO sound decoder that offers a variety of realistic sound effects. The authentic operating sounds, such as traction motors, brakes and signal horns, create an exciting and realistic atmosphere. A special feature of the EP08 is the option to switch to overhead line operation, which makes the model even more versatile and detailed. This option allows the model to be operated like the original and provides additional realism on the model railway layout.
The EP08 from Piko is manufactured in H0 scale (1:87) and has a length over buffers of 183 mm. The H0 gauge is the most commonly used size in model making and enables the depiction of detailed landscapes and scenarios. With a minimum radius of 358 mm, the model can be flexibly integrated into a wide variety of track layouts and is suitable for both compact and extensive model railroad layouts.
The Piko 96394 H0 electric locomotive EP08 of the PKP in Era IV is an outstanding model for all those who are looking for a powerful and authentic locomotive for their H0 layout.
