The prototype: The Re 4/4 I TEE locomotive of the SBB

The Re 4/4 I is one of the best-known electric locomotives of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) and served for decades in cross-border service on the TEE (Trans Europ Express) routes through Europe. With its elegant red and beige livery, the Re 4/4 I was a symbol of international high-speed traffic in Era IV (1970 to approx. 1985). It was used for both passenger and freight traffic and is a nostalgic highlight for railroad fans today. The Piko model brings the classic elegance and performance of this locomotive to the model railroad layout in true detail.

Piko: Quality and attention to detail for model railroaders

Piko is known for its high-quality and precisely manufactured models. The Re 4/4 I in the TEE version is a prime example of this quality: finely detailed metal pantographs, a prototypical "roof garden" and many applied details make this model a real gem. The locomotive is made of a solid die-cast zinc frame and is equipped with a powerful motor that guarantees quiet and smooth running characteristics. The authentic paintwork and high-quality printing ensure that the locomotive also meets the highest visual standards.

Era IV: Elegant train connections in Europe

Era IV marks a phase of major upheaval and modernization in European rail transport, which lasted from 1970 to 1985. During this period, TEE trains stood for first-class international passenger services. The Re 4/4 I with its characteristic design and TEE color scheme is an authentic representative of this era and an indispensable model for collectors and model railroaders who want to realistically recreate the nostalgic charm of these international connections on their layout.

High-quality technical equipment and excellent running characteristics

The Piko Re 4/4 I TEE is equipped with a powerful motor and precisely balanced flywheels, which guarantees excellent running characteristics. Drive is provided via all axles and offers excellent traction thanks to two traction tires - perfect for use with longer train sets. The solid die-cast zinc frame ensures stability and durability so that the locomotive runs reliably even during intensive operation on the layout.

LED lighting and digitally controllable interior lighting

The Piko Re 4/4 I is equipped with modern LED lighting that allows the light to change depending on the direction of travel (white/white). The additional switchable interior lighting is a further highlight and makes the model even more realistic. The lighting functions can be controlled via the digital controller and ensure authentic lighting on your model railway layout.

Sound and mfx® compatibility for Märklin digital command stations

The model is equipped with a factory-installed PIKO sound decoder that reproduces realistic operating sounds and typical train sounds. The locomotive has the "fits mfx®" quality mark, which means that it is fully compatible with Märklin digital command stations and supports the mfx® functions. This award ensures that the model also works reliably with Märklin layouts and that the many functions of the mfx® system can be fully utilized. This makes the model particularly interesting for Märklin fans and AC model railroaders.

H0 gauge: Perfect for detailed model railroad layouts

The Piko Re 4/4 I TEE is manufactured in H0 scale and has a length over buffers of 169 mm. The H0 gauge is one of the most widely used gauges and enables a high level of detail on the model railway layout. With a minimum radius of 358 mm, the model can be used flexibly and is ideal for modern and historical model layouts. This locomotive fits perfectly into TEE or SBB scenarios and adds a touch of international flair to any layout.
