Translated Description from PIKO: New for 2021: With the H0 model of the Vectron electric locomotive of FS Mercitalia in Era VI, PIKO is fulfilling the wishes of PIKO fans who, both as plant operators and collectors, have decided on models based on the latest railway technology. With the Vectron, PIKO supplies a high-precision model that has numerous extras based on a solid zinc die-cast frame and equipped with proven PIKO standards. The tried and tested PIKO motor ensures excellent running properties with two large flywheels. The tractive effort of the locomotive, which is driven by all four axles, is increased by two traction tires, which sit diagonally to one another on the axles running inward of both bogies. The head and tail lamps are illuminated by LEDs, the red or white of which changes with the direction of travel. The exceptionally elegant appearance of this model includes a precisely reproduced technical roof landscape and carefully detailed bogies with prototypical wheel disc profiles.
