Description

Catalog description
Novelty 2024: The DB V 160 010 in Era III as a prototypical moulded version of the BR 216 from PIKO. The specific features of the prototype were precisely transferred to the model during construction. In the 1960s and 1970s, the class V 160 or 216 was the express locomotive for lines without overhead wire on the German Federal Railways. The PIKO model combines the prototypical realisation with excellent running characteristics. These attributes are emphasised by the effective use of perfect engravings and a paintwork that is harmonious down to the smallest detail. Modern LED technology serves as the basis for the red/white light change and the light functions that can be switched by retrofitting a digital decoder. The PluX22 digital interface for easy installation of a decoder is state of the art. The buffer beam of the vehicle can be completed in line with the prototype using the included accessories.
