Translated Description from PIKO: New for 2023: Form variant of the BR 103 as a short version of the DB AG in Era V. Even more than 50 years after their appearance, the legendary cult locomotives of the BR 103 are among the visual highlights on German railway lines thanks to their timeless appearance and attract a lot of attention. The model impresses equally with a heavy die-cast metal frame with a finely detailed housing, the finest paintwork and printing and filigree metal pantographs. The five-pole, ball-bearing motor with two flywheels ensures excellent driving characteristics. The LED light changes from white to red depending on the direction of travel and, like the interior lighting in the driver's cab, can be controlled digitally with a PluX22 decoder. The model has a digital interface PluX22 according to NEM 658 and is prepared for easy retrofitting with sound and the largest possible loudspeaker. Brake hoses for retrofitting are included.
