Translated Description from PIKO: New for 2023: Printed variant of the class 55 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn Gesellschaft in Era II. The PIKO model is impressive with its finest paintwork and printing, successful mold construction and a harmonious implementation of the prototype machine. There are many details that should be emphasized, such as the locomotive whistle, free-standing lines and piston protection tubes. The PIKO BR 55 has a digitally switchable headlight changeover function that depends on the direction of travel, a heavy die-cast zinc frame and a powerful motor for excellent driving characteristics. A narrow locomotive-tender distance is mandatory for PIKO models. Thanks to the integrated Next18 interface, a digital decoder and sound can be retrofitted in just a few simple steps. The model has TT short couplings!
