Description

PIKO 96533 H0 Multiple unit Z 9600, SNCF, Ep. IV, DC sound

The PIKO 96533 represents the French electric multiple unit Z 9600 of the SNCF in epoch IV as a high-quality H0 model. These trains belong to the Z2 series and were built from 1984 for modern regional transportation in France. They offer a successful combination of performance, comfort and modern design and were used on numerous electrified lines.

Prototypical design and authentic execution

Typical of the Z 9600 series is the division of the train into two sections with two permanently connected carriages. The model impresses with its harmonious SNCF paint scheme in the style of Era IV, precise printing and numerous details. The unobstructed view into the furnished passenger compartment underlines the high standard of faithfulness to the prototype and detailing. Two filigree single-arm pantographs made of metal complete the roof section of the multiple unit.

Digital equipment with true-to-original sound

The multiple unit is equipped with a factory-installed PluX22 sound decoder that provides a realistic driving experience. The sound includes all the main sounds of the prototype - from starting and braking to inverter and door noises. The digital interface in accordance with NEM 658 allows additional individualization in digital operation.

Reliable technology for direct current operation

With a length over buffers of 576 mm, the model is suitable for larger H0 DC layouts. The minimum radius of 358 mm guarantees safe operation on standard track systems. Two traction tires ensure good traction, even on inclines. The close coupler link with NEM shaft allows the car units to be safely connected and integrated into extended train formations.

For modern Era IV regional traffic scenarios

Whether as a single train in regional traffic or as part of a varied SNCF operating concept - the PIKO 96533 is a highlight on any layout. With this multiple unit, model railroaders aged 14 and up receive a powerful, visually appealing and technically sophisticated vehicle for DC operation in Era IV.
