Translated Description from PIKO: New in 2024: Printed variant of the BR 231 of the DR in Era IV. The model has prototypical front and side windows, handrail bars in front of the driver's cabs and a prototypical roof design with different ventilators. The heavy zinc die-cast frame gives the PIKO Ludmilla model a force similar to the original, contributes to excellent running properties and ensures enormous pulling power. The engine in the engine room appears in an engraved form. Those familiar with the model were impressed by the precisely reproduced bogies and wheelsets. Thanks to the PluX16 interface, installing a digital and sound decoder is possible without any problems. In addition, the model is prepared for retrofitting with sound. The model has TT close couplings!
