Description

Catalog description
Novelty 2025: Design version of the class 248 “Vectron Dual Mode” from Northrail in Era VI. The large side surfaces with the striking fans and the roof with a pantograph characterize the appearance of the modern Vectron Dual Mode. Great importance was also attached to details in the design and tooling: extremely vivid engravings of the ventilation grilles and bogies with an outstanding visual depth effect underline this. Technically, the model continues the proven line of PIKO designs. A powerful central motor is used for propulsion, two flywheels ensure excellent running characteristics and diagonally arranged traction tires make it possible to transport long trains. In digital operation, the cab and cab lighting can be controlled digitally. The model has a PSD XP sound decoder ex works for this purpose, which, in combination with the large loudspeaker, also provides a special sound experience on the model railway layout.
