Translated Description from PIKO: New for 2022: Variant of the BR 181.2 of the DB with printing on the Moselle from epoch IV. The PIKO model of the important multi-system locomotive series 181.2 shows all relevant details of its prototype and impresses with the finest paintwork and printing, raised name plates on the sides, separately attached front handles and Door handle bars, sharply engraved bogie panels, fine insulators and pantographs with different grinding pieces. The lighting is done by LEDs. The standard built-in driver's cab and engine room lighting, like the taillights, which function depending on the direction of travel, can be digitally switched with a PluX22 decoder. A powerful five-pole motor with flywheels that drives all four axes ensures excellent driving characteristics. The heavy PIKO model has two traction tires and a heavy zinc die-cast frame for large pulling forces. The PIKO 181.2 is prepared for uncomplicated retrofitting with sound and the largest possible loudspeaker. The AC model is factory-fitted with a suitable mfx-compatible PluX22 decoder.
