Piko H0 50600 H0 Deutsche Bahn steam locomotive BR 78 DB III

Finally, a modern replacement of the very popular and previously widespread BR 78 comes in the form of a new construction from PIKO – and with it the first steam locomotive in the Expert product line. The model hangs the established standard of the Expert range a little higher. Almost all cables were designed free-standing, the driver's cab, water boxes and smoke chamber adorn the finest replicas of the rivet heads. Wheel set stars and control could be executed extremely filigree by the materials used. The five-pole PIKO motor with rotor ensures excellent handling characteristics. Additional weights in the boiler and two traction tires provide for a high tensile force. Thanks to the modern PluX22 interface, retrofitting a decoder is child's play. A speaker and a smoke set can also be installed with minimal effort. The direction-dependant lighting in LED design ensures authentic operating mood.
