Description

Catalog description
Novelty 2026: Diesel locomotive KM 4000 in the version of SP 9022 in a modified form. The original SP KM 4000 locomotives started their life as nearly identical triplets. Over the years, however, they were modified and became clearly distinguishable from one another. The faithful PIKO reproductions show the locomotives as they appeared in the mid-1960s, taking into account structural and color-specific details. These include side air intake grilles, filter boxes, and roof vents, as well as exposed exhaust systems with flap valves. The locomotive also accurately reproduces the color features of SP 9100. The powerful motor, in combination with perfectly balanced flywheels, ensures smooth running. The various lighting functions are implemented in state-of-the-art LED technology and can be easily digitally controlled with a suitable decoder. For simple retrofitting of the analog models, they are equipped with a PluX22 digital interface. The locomotives do not feature a NEM coupler pocket.
