Translated Description from PIKO: New for 2022: Print version of the BR 55 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn in Era III. The PIKO model impresses with the finest paintwork and printing, successful mold construction and a harmonious implementation of the model machine. Many separately applied details should be emphasized, such as the locomotive whistle, free-standing lines and protective piston tubes. The PIKO BR 55 has a digitally switchable light change that works depending on the direction of travel, a heavy zinc die-cast frame and a powerful motor for excellent driving characteristics. A close spacing between the locomotive and the tender is mandatory for PIKO models. Thanks to the integrated Next18 interface, a digital decoder and sound can be retrofitted in a few simple steps.
