Translated Description from PIKO: Novelty 2019 - With the newly designed model of the railbus VT 2.09 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn, PIKO meets the oft-mentioned wish of many model railroaders for a contemporary, detailed and also operable design of the well-known piglet tax. Following the development of the innovative control logic of the DB railbus, for which PIKO received the Golden Track 2017, it now makes sense to also implement the widespread counterpart from East Germany with attention to detail and a corresponding logic. The railcar is powered by a powerful micromotor that is equipped with flywheel masses for perfect running characteristics, and has a built-in buffer capacitor for optimum driving characteristics without any sound interruptions. The drive acts on both axles of the railcar. Traction and control cars are coupled together via a current-conducting short-circuit kinematics. The lighting functions of both vehicles are separately switchable, the clear view through the passenger transport possible. For example, the traction vehicle independently registers whether a control car is attached and then turns off the lights between the vehicles. The PIKO pigskin taxis are prepared for easy retrofitting with sound and maximum loudspeaker.
