Piko H0 52363 H0 Diesel locomotive DE18 from Vossloh Rolling Stock

Modern diesel locomotives dominate the everyday life in goods and shunting traffic. And here of course the distinctive DE 18 from Vossloh should not be missing. The PIKO designers have once again succeeded in using this machine to implement an example with flying colors in the size H0. The result is a model that perfectly reproduces the overall appearance like the features of the DE 18 and has a variety of details, including extremely plastic-looking engravings of the ventilation grille and bogies with excellent optical depth effect. The strong motor with two flywheel masses provides for a smooth running, the traction force is increased by two diagonally arranged traction tires. Together with a digital decoder many prototypical light functions can be switched. The attractive driver's cab and driver's desk lighting is already a good sound in PIKO's new constructions. The PIKO new construction is equipped with a PSD XP sound decoder with the largest possible loudspeaker ex works.

The model carries the quality mark "fit mfx®". In order to ensure that digital decoders can be used reliably for all users of the current Märklin digital centers, a new quality mark "fit mfx®" was introduced together with Märklin and other manufacturers. This can only be used by digital decoders that have passed a special mfx® test.
These decoders and also the locomotives in which they are installed carry the quality mark "fit mfx®", which certifies the unrestricted mfx® functionality. This means that PIKO products with the "fits mfx®" logo now fully support the many and varied functions of mfx®.
