Translated Description from PIKO: New for 2023: Class E 18 electric locomotive in the DB version for Era III. The model faithfully reproduces all the details of the prototype on a scale of 1:160. The prototypical roof equipment, the pantographs typical of the DB locomotives and the insulators in the finest design deserve special mention. All roof lines were made of metal. The fine wheel sets with replica spring pots are an absolute novelty in the 1:160 scale. The lamps appear in a prototypical shape and size. The powerful engine with two large flywheel masses, thanks to the drive on four axles, ensures problem-free transport of heavy express trains, even in the model. In addition, two wheels in a diagonal arrangement were fitted with traction tires. The model has a suitable PIKO sound decoder ex works.
