The Piko 97219 H0 electric locomotive Ar 6/6 "Uri" is a detailed replica of the famous SBB electric locomotive, which is now in service in Era VI. This model impresses with its high-quality workmanship, precise reproduction and the option of digital retrofitting. The Ar 6/6 "Uri", also known under its original designation Ae 6/6, is a classic of Swiss railroad history and impresses in the model with its fine details, elegant gray paint scheme and excellent running characteristics.
The Ar 6/6, originally known as the Ae 6/6, was built for the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) in the 1950s and was one of the most powerful electric locomotives of its time. With its striking design and eponymous division according to Swiss cantons (e.g. "Uri"), the Ae 6/6 was a familiar sight on Swiss rails for both freight and passenger traffic. The locomotive served for decades and is now in Era VI for modern tasks and occasional use. With this model, Piko has created a high-precision replica of the Ar 6/6 that perfectly captures the striking design and performance of the original.
Piko is known for its models, which impress with their quality and attention to detail. The Ar 6/6 "Uri" in H0 is a prime example of this, with its precisely shaped body, fine metal pantographs and a realistically designed "roof garden". The prototypical structure with numerous applied details and the prototypical color scheme make this model a highlight on any layout. Thanks to the robust materials and clean workmanship, the Piko Ar 6/6 is suitable for long-term use on demanding model railroad layouts.
Era VI stands for the period from 2007 onwards and is characterized by the use of modern and technically advanced locomotives, such as the Ar 6/6. Even though this series has now been replaced by more modern models, individual locomotives are still available for historical use and serve as cult objects for railroad enthusiasts. The gray paintwork of the model corresponds to the current appearance of the Ar 6/6, which pays homage to Swiss railroad technology and its long history.
The Piko Ar 6/6 "Uri" is equipped with a powerful motor that ensures quiet and smooth running. Thanks to the drive power on all axles and the additional traction tires, the model has impressive tractive power, making it ideal for long freight trains and heavy trains. The solid die-cast zinc frame gives the locomotive additional stability and durability and makes it a reliable and strong towing vehicle.
The Ar 6/6 from Piko is equipped with modern LED technology, which allows the light to change depending on the direction of travel (white/red) and visually enhances the model. The model is also prepared for uncomplicated digital retrofitting. A digital decoder can be easily added via the NEM 658 PluX22 interface, and the preparation for a sound decoder (e.g. PIKO #56595) offers the possibility of adding authentic operating sounds to the locomotive and thus making the playing experience even more realistic.
The Piko Ar 6/6 "Uri" is manufactured in H0 scale and has a length over buffers of 211 mm, which makes it ideal for sophisticated and detailed model railway layouts. The minimum radius of 358 mm allows the locomotive to be flexibly integrated into a wide variety of track layouts and ensures that the locomotive can also be used on more compact layouts without any problems. The H0 gauge offers the perfect size for combining the impressive Ar 6/6 with other SBB coaches and trains from Era VI to create a realistic Swiss railroad scenario.
The Piko 97219 H0 electric locomotive Ar 6/6 "Uri" is an excellent model for all those who want to authentically represent Swiss railroad technology and modern Era VI. With its elegant paintwork, detailed implementation and the option of retrofitting sound, the Ar 6/6 "Uri" is ideal for H0 layouts that rely on realistic scenarios.
