Description

Catalog description
Novelty 2022: Variant of the Rh 1044 in the version of the ÖBB in Era IV. The characterful locomotive face of the former ÖBB parade horse was excellently captured in the model realization, as was the striking side section of the vehicles, which with the pronounced corrugations and the typical "portholes" certainly posed challenges to the mold making. The resulting impression of ideal visual impact is continued in the locomotive´s bogies. Last but not least, the new 1044 is technically convincing: A five-pole PIKO motor with two finely balanced flywheel masses on the shaft ensures smooth propulsion. Model railroaders who prefer digital operation benefit from the modern PluX22 interface - it allows the installation of a digital decoder with a few simple steps. The light change, which is obligatory today, has been implemented in contemporary LED technology.
