Form follows function â this principle had been internalized by designers and engineers when the V 100 was created in the late 1950s, but a model implementation makes this premise even more demanding. The PIKO designers took this hurdle with flying colors and created a fascinating model. A special eye-catcher is the cooling system of the locomotive with finely etched lattices and the fan wheel visible below it. The plastic-effect engraving on the front end and the driver's cab also divides the functional structure of the vehicle. The overall impression is rounded off by the filigree bogies with numerous applied parts. The digital versions have factory-switched lights for the driver's compartment and the instrument panel. Thanks to the PluX22 interface these functions can also be easily retrofitted in analogue models.This text is machine translated.
