Translated Description from PIKO: New in 2024: Printed version of the BR 231 DR in Era IV. Based exactly on the original, the model has the large front and side windows of the first delivery series. Just as typical were the separately attached handrail bars in front of the driver's cab and the tidy roof. Prototype-oriented model railroaders were also impressed by the precisely reproduced, robust bogie detailing, which also withstands the rigors of everyday operation on the model railroad. The engine with two flywheels, together with the heavy die-cast zinc frame, the elegant cardan shaft drive on four axles (two wheels covered with traction tires in a diagonal arrangement), gives the model excellent running properties and high tractive power. The model has a modern PluX22 interface for easy installation of a decoder. The retrofitting with sound is prepared.
