This locomotive was specially designed for use on the Trans Europ Express (TEE) and could be used for both freight and passenger services due to its performance and flexibility. The TEE livery, consisting of the elegant colors red and beige, made it a striking highlight on the European rails. In Era IV, which lasted from 1970 to around 1985, it represented the modern technology and elegant design of the Swiss railroad world.

The model is also factory-fitted with switchable interior lighting, which can be controlled digitally and makes the model even more realistic. This lighting ensures a clear view and gives the model a particularly realistic look on the layout.

Realistic sound and digital control

This model is equipped with a factory-installed PIKO sound decoder that reproduces numerous realistic operating sounds. From the typical driving noise of the electric locomotive to braking and signal noises, the sound decoder offers an immersive sound experience. The digital control allows easy handling of all sound and lighting functions and integrates the model seamlessly into modern model railroad systems. These functions make the Piko Re 4/4 I a real highlight on any digital model railroad layout.
