Translated Description from PIKO: New for 2022 Even 50 years after their appearance, the legendary cult locomotives of the class 103 are among the visual highlights on German railways thanks to their timeless appearance and attract a lot of attention. The model also impresses with a heavy metal die-cast frame with a finely detailed housing, the finest paintwork and printing and filigree metal pantographs. The five-pole, ball-bearing motor with two flywheels ensures excellent driving characteristics. The LED light changes white / red depending on the direction of travel and, like the cab interior lighting, can be switched digitally with a PluX22 decoder. The model has a PluX22 digital interface according to NEM 658 standards and is prepared for simple retrofitting with sound and the largest possible loudspeaker. Brake hoses for retrofitting are included.
