Translated Description from PIKO: New in 2024: The BR 101 electric locomotive in the attractive “Ecophant†design of the DB AG in Epoch VI. When implementing the 101 series on a scale of 1:160, PIKO got the external design of the three-phase locomotive perfectly right. Details such as the DSA 350 single-arm pantographs were delicately reproduced. The sharply engraved bogies behind the low skirts round off the visual impression of the locomotive perfectly. A powerful mid-engine provides propulsion in the model. Two brass flywheels on the motor shaft ensure excellent synchronization. For good traction, the locomotive also has two diagonally arranged wheels covered with traction tires. Thanks to the modern Next18 interface, a digital decoder can be retrofitted in no time. In addition to the headlights using LED technology, the model also has digitally switchable driver's cab lighting.
