PIKO 51162 – Dual-mode light locomotive BR 249

Characteristics:

New for 2024: The large side panels with their distinctive fans and the roof with a pantograph characterize the appearance of the modern Vectron Dual Mode. Great attention was paid to details during design and tooling: the extremely three-dimensional engravings of the ventilation grilles and bogies, with their outstanding visual depth effect, underscore this. Technically, the model continues the proven line of PIKO designs. A powerful mid-mounted motor serves as the drive, two flywheels ensure excellent running characteristics, and diagonally arranged traction tires enable the hauling of long trains. In digital operation, the cab and driver’s console lighting can be controlled digitally. For this purpose, the model is equipped with a PSD XP sound decoder ex works, which, in combination with the large loudspeaker, also provides a unique sound experience on the model railway layout.
