Translated Description from PIKO: Novelty 2024: Printed variant of the BR 223 from MRB in Era VI. The elegant mainline diesel locomotive, built by Siemens, is called “Hercules†because of its high pulling power. In the model, the bogies, air grilles and the roof section with the side openings were precisely reproduced. Fine engravings such as handrails, braking devices and roof grilles make the model particularly attractive. It is driven by a powerful motor via cardan shafts to the gearboxes, which drive all four sets of wheels. The model has lighting that changes in the direction of travel. Using the integrated digital interface according to NEM 652, the locomotive can easily be equipped with a decoder. The model has TT close couplings!
