Translated Description from PIKO: New for 2024: BR 93 steam locomotive in true-to-original paintwork and printing of the DB in Epoch III. The PIKO steam locomotive impresses with its successful mold construction, sharp engravings and numerous, separately attached parts as well as excellent driving characteristics. The model has a modern Next18 interface for the uncomplicated retrofitting of a digital or sound decoder. In Prussia, people were always striving for rationalization, so that in the late 1910s they used tried-and-tested design principles for the construction of a new tank locomotive. Parts of the drive and running gear were taken over from the preserved G8.1 with a few changes. The new locomotives were incorporated as the T14 series. A total of 457 examples were built for the Prussian State Railway. The Reichseisenbahnen in Alsace-Lorraine subsequently also ordered 40 locomotives of this type. After World War II, genus 93.0-4 was scattered across Europe. Freshly repaired, it was used again in divided Germany as well as in Poland, Belgium and Austria. The DB used its machines until 1960, with the Limburg depot and the routes between Lahn, Dill and Sieg being their last refuge. The DR was in use until 1971, where the locomotives were used especially in and around Berlin to carry freight trains. The model has TT close couplings!
