Translated Description from PIKO: New for 2021: Now this all-rounder from DB AG is also represented as a PIKO Expert model. The modern design of the locomotive has been modeled exactly. The locomotive is prototypically painted in traffic red, including the DB cookie. The single-arm pantographs have been reproduced in an extremely filigree manner. Sharply engraved bogies round off the visual appearance. Brake hoses can be added to complement the ride, and a powerful 5-pole motor ensures that the car can move freely. Equipped with two flywheels, the PIKO BR 101 stands out with its extremely smooth running. Two diagonally attached traction tires provide traction when moving forward. The technical highlight are the built-in driver's cab and driver's desk lighting. The light change takes place depending on the direction of travel in red / white, of course carried out in the most modern LED technology. In digital mode, these functions can be switched separately. This is controlled by a PluX 22 decoder. The central conductor version is delivered from the factory with an mfx-capable decoder.
