Technical details and equipment

The model is built on a scale of 1:87 (H0 gauge) and is suitable for operation on standard H0 track systems with alternating current. Thanks to the integrated PluX22 interface (NEM 658), digital retrofitting - e.g. with a sound decoder - is possible without any problems. The locomotive also impresses with its robust Piko drive technology for smooth running.

Design & workmanship

The locomotive shines in the typical PRESS blue with white decorative stripes. The printing is precise and abrasion-resistant, the body is finely engraved. Striking details such as fan grilles, roof superstructures and finely modeled bogies are evidence of the high standard of model making. Direction-dependent light change (white/red) via LED is already integrated ex works.

Digitization & operation

The PluX22 interface makes it easy to install a sound or function decoder. Digital operation is therefore just as convenient as analog AC operation - Plug & Play makes it ideal for flexible layout concepts.
