Description

PIKO 97318 H0 Dining car EW I Mitropa, BLS, Ep. V

The PIKO 97318 EW I dining car in the Mitropa version of the BLS is a classic addition for prototypical model railroad train service in Era V. The harmonious paint scheme and the typical design of the standard car I give the model an authentic appearance. This car is a stylish addition, especially for model railroaders with a focus on the cross-border passenger trains of the 1990s.

Realistic body with technical equipment

A special detail is the mounted metal scissor pantograph, which enhances the dining car both visually and functionally. The detailed view of the interior also conveys a high-quality impression. The model also impresses with its running characteristics: The exact proportions, clean workmanship and excellent rolling characteristics ensure smooth and realistic running characteristics - both in solo operation and in a train set.

Prepared for retrofitting interior lighting

For model railroaders who also want to present their train effectively at night, the interior lighting can be easily retrofitted. The corresponding lighting unit can be installed with the PIKO item number #56286. This allows the car to be harmoniously integrated into already illuminated sets. Installation is convenient and uncomplicated via the interface provided inside the car.

Technically compatible and versatile

With a length over buffers of 272 mm and a minimum radius of 358 mm, the wagon is suitable for many H0 layout concepts. Coupling is via a close coupler link with NEM shaft. Suitable AC interchangeable wheel sets are available for AC operation under item number 56063. This means that the model can be used flexibly - both on DC systems and on AC systems that have been converted accordingly.

For detail-conscious model railroaders aged 14 and over

The dining car is aimed at model railroaders who place particular value on detailing, smooth running and retrofit options. Thanks to its authentic design with Mitropa lettering and its typical Era V design, the car can be seamlessly integrated into numerous European train formations - especially in connection with the BLS or international connections with Swiss participation.
