Translated Description from PIKO: New for 2023: As with the prototype, the model of the S499.02 is a further development of the legendary "Laminatka". Both series share the sublime model quality. This becomes clear in the precise reproduction of the locomotive body with the striking Lufterband, the engraving of which conveys the highest level of plasticity in the model. The engine room windows above are fitted perfectly flush. A special feature is the edging of the front window, which is accommodated by separately installed frames in the 1:87 scale. In keeping with this, the ventilation systems next to the windows were also designed as individual parts. Apart from the external qualities, the model is also technically convincing. Among the lighting functions, the chassis lighting with the filigree lamp glasses is particularly noteworthy. The model is factory-equipped with a PIKO sound decoder and has a matching loudspeaker. The decoder can also be used to switch on the lights in the driver's cab, the instrument panels and the engine room.
