Translated Description from PIKO: New for 2024: This new design from PIKO is powerful, compact and yet extremely delicate. The squat design of the model was perfectly captured and implemented to scale in the model. Thanks to the delicate bar frame and the clear view of the engine area, the massive boiler almost appears to be floating. This impression is supported by the fine wheel stars of the chassis, which also has a fine brake rod. The typical structural features of the models were also taken into account when implementing them into the model. The crystal-clear window inserts of the driver's cab and the unobstructed interior allow a clear view of the detailed boiler and driver's cab rear wall. The die-cast zinc and metal parts give the model a very high weight, which in combination with the finely tuned motor with flywheels ensures optimal driving characteristics. The factory digital variants have switchable, authentic lighting for the engine and the driver's cab. The flickering in the fire socket can also be switched digitally. The Expert Plus model also has digitally switchable clutches and a pulsed evaporator that is controlled synchronously with the wheel.
