Description
- Catalog description
- The PIKO model of the 181 in the traffic red version of Era VI shows all relevant details of its prototype and convinces with finest painting and printing, extra set front handles and door handle bars, sharply engraved bogie covers, fine insulators and pantographs with different collector strips. The lighting is provided by LEDs. The standard cab and engine room lights are digitally switchable, as are the direction-dependent tail lights. A powerful five-pole motor with two precisely balanced flywheels driving all four axles provides excellent driving characteristics. The heavy PIKO model has two traction tires and a heavy zinc die-cast frame for large tractive forces. A PIKO SmartDecoder 4.1 with matching vehicle sound and mfx functionality is installed ex works. Optional clip-on dummy brake hoses are included with the model.
