PIKO 21715

Novelty 2025: Design version of the class 193 “”Vectron“” from Alpha Trains in Era VI. The tried and tested PIKO motor with two large flywheel masses ensures excellent running characteristics. The tractive power of the locomotive, which is driven over all four axles, is increased by two traction tires that are located on the inside axles of both bogies in a diagonal arrangement to each other. The headlights and marker lights are illuminated by LEDs whose red or white color changes with the direction of travel. The outwardly elegant appearance of this model includes a precisely reproduced technical “roof landscape” and carefully detailed bogies with prototypical wheel disk profiles. The model has a PSD XP sound decoder with the largest possible loudspeaker ex works. The model bears the “fits mfx®” quality mark. A new “fits mfx®” quality mark was introduced together with Märklin and other manufacturers to make digital decoders reliably usable for all users of the current Märklin digital command stations. This can only be used by digital decoders that have undergone and fully passed a special mfx® test. These decoders and also the locomotives in which they are installed bear the “fits mfx®” quality mark, which certifies unrestricted mfx® functionality. This means that PIKO products with the “fits mfx®” logo now also fully support the diverse functions of mfx®.
