The EP09 is known for its use in long-distance service on Polish main lines and is a perfect choice for model railroaders who want to realistically recreate the operation of Era V.

The prototype: The EP09 of the PKP

The EP09 is an electric express locomotive that was developed by the Polish company Pafawag in the 1980s. Its striking angular design and technical reliability make it one of the most important locomotives in Polish long-distance transportation to this day. In Era V, many of these locomotives wore a modern livery and were used in intercity services and international express train services.

Excellent model realization by PIKO

The model of the EP09 was produced by PIKO in the usual high quality. The sharp edges of the prototype are authentically represented by smooth surfaces and the finest engravings. Particularly noteworthy are the three-dimensional fan reproductions and the detailed roof design, which perfectly capture the technical complexity of the prototype.

Technology and functionality

The locomotive is equipped with a powerful drive, which provides excellent tractive power due to the locomotive's high dead weight. Digital retrofitting via the NEM 658 PluX22 interface makes the model future-proof. It also offers space for the installation of a loudspeaker to create even more realism with an optional sound decoder. The digitally switchable driver's cab lighting and the lighting on the driver's desk round off the features.
