Description

Catalog description
Class 118 DB Ep. IV electric locomotive, blue-beige. With this excellently detailed model of the cult locomotives of the class 118, PIKO is a worthy memorial to another old German electric locomotive. The PIKO model convinces with the coherent realization of its prototype of the German Federal Railroad. The fine wheel sets, the exact reproduction of the prototypical roof equipment with filigree current roof equipment with filigree pantographs and the exact reproduction of the front sections. The cab and engine room lights as well as the front and rear lights that work depending on the direction of travel can be controlled digitally with a PluX22 decoder. The model, which has a die-cast zinc frame, has excellent driving characteristics and high tractive effort. The factory-installed PIKO SmartDecoder 4.1 Sound for PluX22 of the latest generation masters the data formats DCC with RailComPlus®, Motorola®, Selectrix® and is mfx-capable. The built-in speaker is precisely tuned to the locomotive type. Many locomotive-typical sounds such as engine noise, signal horns, brake squeal, and other switchable functions can be called up individually. With adjustable individual mapping. The tail light can be switched separately. Sound is also possible in analog operation - only engine sound.
