Are you looking for a powerful electric locomotive with a distinctive Dutch look, extensive detailing, and factory-installed sound? The PIKO 97273 H0 Electric Locomotive 1306 of the Dutch State Railways brings the characteristic appearance of the Class 1300 in its Era IV configuration to your model railroad layout. With its six-axle design, precise reproduction of Locomotive 1306, and numerous attached individual parts, it offers an eye-catching model for AC operation.
The prototype belongs to the Class 1300 of the Dutch State Railways. These electric locomotives were procured starting in the 1950s primarily for freight service and were technically based on the French CC 7100 series. For many decades, they shaped the landscape of Dutch rail transport. Due to their high power output, the locomotives were used not only to haul heavy freight trains but also high-end passenger trains.
The PIKO 97273 faithfully reproduces the 1306 locomotive with numerous prototypical details. Particularly eye-catching are the finely crafted roof equipment and the delicate single-arm pantographs. The characteristic shape of the six-axle electric locomotive is complemented by sharply engraved bogies with many individual parts.
In addition, the model features separately attached handrails. The windshield wipers are also separately molded and attached as etched parts. These features support the precise reproduction of the prototype and give the locomotive a varied surface texture.
The detailed interior design complements the exterior styling. As a result, the 1306 locomotive is carefully represented not only in its basic form but also in the visible interior areas. The design is based on the distinctive appearance of the series during Era IV.
The PIKO electric locomotive features digitally controllable cab lighting. Additionally, there is a control panel light that can also be controlled digitally. This allows for targeted illumination of various areas of the cab.
Another special feature is the digitally controllable engine room lighting. It expands the model’s lighting functions and effectively highlights the interior of the locomotive. The direction-of-travel-dependent light change occurs in white and red.
Thanks to the combination of cab lighting, control panel lighting, engine room lighting, and direction-dependent light changes, the model offers several digitally controllable lighting functions. These features support a wide variety of applications on an H0 model railroad layout.
The locomotive comes factory-equipped with a PIKO sound decoder. A PluX22 sound decoder is installed. The digital interface complies with the NEM 658 PluX22 standard.
Sound is therefore already included as standard equipment on the model. The digital functions can be used in conjunction with the switchable lighting. As a result, the PIKO 97273 combines its detailed exterior design with extensive digital features.
The model is designed for the AC system. The operating railway is the NS, i.e., the Dutch State Railways. Its classification as Era IV corresponds to the depicted version of locomotive 1306.
The length over buffers is 218 mm. The minimum runnable radius is specified as 358 mm. This allows the locomotive to be used on appropriately designed H0 layouts.
For power transmission, the model features two traction tires. The coupler is equipped with a NEM socket and a close-coupling mechanism. This allows the electric locomotive to be integrated into suitable train formations and combined with compatible cars.
In real life, the Class 1300 was used to haul both high-end passenger trains and heavy freight trains. Accordingly, the PIKO 97273 can be used in various train formations on the model railroad layout. Its striking six-axle design ensures a distinctive appearance.
The PIKO 97273 H0 Electric Locomotive 1306 combines the history of a significant Dutch electric locomotive series with extensive model features. The precise reproduction of the 1306 locomotive, the detailed interior, the finely rendered roof equipment, and the numerous separately applied parts make this model a real eye-catcher.
Digital lighting in the cab, control console, and engine room, the factory-installed sound decoder, and direction-dependent lighting changes expand its versatility. The locomotive is therefore ideal for model railroaters and collectors seeking a distinctive NS electric locomotive from Era IV with sound and numerous switchable functions.
Expand your H0 collection with the PIKO 97273 NS Electric Locomotive 1306 and add a striking six-axle electric locomotive with high-quality detailing, digital lighting, and factory-installed sound to your layout.
