With the Piko 97454 ML 4002 diesel locomotive, you can bring a piece of American railroad history to your model railroad layout. This H0 scale locomotive represents the famous "original version" of the D&RGW (Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad), which played a central role in the west of the USA from the 1950s to the 1970s. With this diesel locomotive, Piko has created a model that captures the powerful aesthetics of the D&RGW in great detail and true to the original, while at the same time being equipped with the latest technology. The model not only offers a visual experience, but also a real acoustic treat thanks to the integrated sound function.
The Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad, or D&RGW for short, was one of the most famous railroad companies in the western United States and is particularly well known for its use of powerful diesel locomotives on steep routes through the Rocky Mountains. The ML 4002, part of the popular "ML Series", was designed for heavy freight service and was ideal for the demanding mountain routes due to its rugged construction and high performance. This locomotive made its mark on freight transportation in the United States and became a symbol of reliability and strength.
The ML 4002 model from Piko reflects the original appearance of the locomotive, including the striking paint scheme in yellow and black - colors that were characteristic of the D&RGW. This locomotive is suitable for both collectors and model railroaders who operate a layout in the style of American freight traffic. Due to the Era III representation, this model fits particularly well into a scenery of the 1960s and 1970s, in which the D&RGW had its peak in freight traffic.
Piko is known worldwide for its precise workmanship and high quality. The ML 4002 model impresses with a multitude of intricate details that perfectly reflect the design of the original. The characteristic front section, the bright yellow paintwork and the lettering on the sides make this locomotive a real highlight on any model railway layout. The proportions have also been precisely implemented so that the ML 4002 looks impressive and authentic on your H0 layout.
The Piko 97454 ML 4002 diesel locomotive is factory-equipped with a modern PluX22 sound decoder, which offers you a particularly realistic driving experience. The sound decoder produces characteristic driving noises and authentic diesel sounds that convey the feeling of hearing a real diesel locomotive driving over your layout. In addition, the light changes between white and red depending on the direction of travel for added authenticity. This lighting is particularly useful for recreating realistic scenarios on your layout and giving the locomotive the necessary flair of the D&RGW.
Thanks to the digital interface (NEM 658 PluX22), the model can be easily integrated into existing digital layouts and enables individual adaptation of the control options. The length over buffers (LüP) is 231 mm, which ensures a realistic effect on H0 layouts and allows the ML 4002 to run through more demanding layouts without any problems. The passable minimum radius of 358 mm ensures that the model runs smoothly and smoothly even in tight curves.
The yellow paintwork of the ML 4002 is a D&RGW trademark and gives the model an authentic look that will enhance any model railway layout. The color scheme is in the style of Era III to Era VI, which gives the model flexibility for integration into different periods of model railway history. The ML 4002 brings the "American Dream" directly to your model railroad thanks to its precise design and the detailed implementation of the characteristic paintwork.
The Piko ML 4002 is designed for the H0 gauge and therefore offers an ideal size for model railway layouts on a scale of 1:87. With its robust construction and powerful drive, it is designed for use in demanding driving environments and can easily handle even longer trains. The direct current system (DC) enables smooth use on conventional H0 direct current layouts so that it can be seamlessly integrated into existing layouts.
