Piko 59589 Gauge H0 Diesel locomotive BR 228 of the DB AG, epoch V, 6-axle

New for 2022: Pressure variant of the BR 118 as the BR 228 of the DB AG in Era V. The H0 model impresses with a clear, functionally reliable and low-maintenance design. Thanks to the powerful engine with two precisely balanced flywheels and the elegant cardan shaft drives on the four or six-axle bogies, the PIKO V 180 demonstrates balanced driving characteristics in all speed ranges. Two wheels with traction tires are mounted diagonally on the two axles running on the inside of the bogies. In combination with the sophisticated drive concept, they ensure high tractive forces. The robust, reliable model is supplied by PIKO in all the design and color variants known from the prototype. In addition to numerous, separately applied parts, the precisely engraved areas, such as fan grilles, door handles, handrail bars and windscreen wipers, leave the impression of free-standing details due to their conciseness. The model has an 8-pin interface for easy retrofitting of a digital decoder and is also prepared for sound retrofitting.
