Piko H0 51620 H0 Rh 1044 electric locomotive of Austrian Federal Railways
With the newly constructed Piko 1044/1144 authentic models of the high serial numbers of this series will be available for the first time in 1:87. The characterful locomotive face of the former Austrian Federal Railways paradehorse was hit excellently in the model conversion, as well as the distinctive side section of the vehicles, which with the pronounced surrounds and the typical bull eyes posed quite challenges to the mold making. The resulting impression of ideal optical effect continues in the bogies of the locomotive. Last but not least, the new 1044 knows how to convince technically: A five-pole Piko motor, on whose shaft two finely balanced flywheel masses sit, provides for an even propulsion. Model railway enthusiasts who prefer digital operation benefit from the modern PluX22 interface â it allows the installation of a digital decoder in just a few steps. The light change required today was realized in modern LED technology. However, the lighting of the driver's cab and driver's desk, which is also available in the PIKO model and can be switched in digital mode, is not a matter of course.This text is machine translated.
