Translated Description from PIKO: New for 2023: Variant of the DB BR 798 rail bus in Era IV. With the models of the legendary VT 98/VS 98 rail bus of the Deutsche Bundesbahn, PIKO offers a vehicle with many highlights that is perfectly tailored to use on main and secondary model railway lines. The illuminated train destination indicators on the side are a real eye-catcher. The railcar is powered by a powerful micromotor, which is equipped with flywheel masses to ensure perfect running characteristics, and has a factory-installed buffer capacitor for optimum driving characteristics without sound interruptions. The railcar and control car can be coupled to each other via a current-conducting close-coupling kinematics. The lighting functions of both vehicles, including the lamps above the driver's cab, can be switched separately. Despite the structural features of the railcar and control car, an unobstructed view through the passenger compartments is possible. The railcar can also be used prototypically as a railcar for transporting individual freight cars. For easy digitization, the railcar has a PluX22 interface and is prepared for retrofitting sound with the largest possible loudspeaker.
