Translated Description from PIKO: Novelty 2024: The PIKO round nose with attractive printing of the 1149 from Altmark-Rail in era VI. One can argue about taste, but there are things whose elegance is beyond any doubt. The PIKO models from NoHAB can also benefit from the undisputed elegance of the model. In order to achieve this overall impression, great emphasis was placed on details. The side ventilation grilles are designed as highly structured elements of the locomotive body with fine cast parts and are an absolute eye-catcher. But the striking front windows and the side “portholes†also contribute to the excellent image thanks to the perfectly flush fit. The impression is completed by the precise and highly detailed design of the bogies. A powerful and smooth-running motor with two flywheels serves as the drive. The model, which is factory-equipped with a PSD XP sound decoder, impresses with its numerous digital functions and robust sound on the system. The model bears the “fits mfx†quality mark. In order to make digital decoders reliably usable for all users of the current Marklin digital centers, a new quality mark fits mfx was introduced together with Marklin and other manufacturers. This can only be used by digital decoders that have undergone a special mfx test and have passed it completely. These decoders and the locomotives in which they are installed carry the fits mfx quality mark, which certifies the unrestricted mfx functionality. This means that PIKO products with the “fits mfx†logo now fully support the diverse functions of mfx.
