Piko H0 52880 H0 Diesel railcar VT 209 of DR
With the newly constructed model of the VT 2.09 rail bus of the German State Railways, PIKO corresponds to a often mentioned desire of many model railway enthusiasts for a modern, detailed and also operational version of the well-known Ferkeltaxe. After the development of the innovative control logic of the DB rail bus, for which PIKO received the Golden Track 2017, it is obvious that the widespread counterpart from East Germany is now in love with a corresponding logic. The railcar is driven by a strong micro-engine, which is equipped with flywheel masses for the benefit of flawless running characteristics and possesses a buffer capacitor installed ex works for optimum driving characteristics without sound interruptions. The drive acts on both axles of the railcar. Drive and control wagons can be coupled with each other via a current-conducting close coupling kinematics. The lighting functions of both vehicles can be switched separately and the clear view through the passenger rooms is possible. For example, the engine automatically registers whether a control car is attached and then switches off the lighting between the vehicles. The PIKO Ferkeltaxe is prepared for an uncomplicated retrofitting with sound and the largest possible loudspeaker.This text is machine translated.
