Translated Description from PIKO: Novelty 2023: Now this jack of all trades from DB AG is also represented as a PIKO Expert model. The modern design of the locomotive has been modeled exactly. The locomotive is painted in traffic red, including "DB biscuit". The single-spar pantographs have been reproduced in an extremely filigree manner. Sharply engraved bogies round off the visual appearance. Adjustable brake hoses and sun visors are included to complement this. A powerful 5-pole motor ensures free travel. Equipped with two flywheel masses, the PIKO BR 101 stands out with its extremely smooth running. Two diagonally mounted traction tires provide traction when moving forward. The technical highlights are the built-in driver's cab and driver's desk lighting. The light changes depending on the direction of travel in red/white, of course using the latest LED technology. In digital mode, these functions can be switched separately. This is controlled by a PluX 22 decoder. The middle conductor version is supplied with an mfx-capable decoder.
