It features finely detailed roof equipment, two metal pantographs, directional lighting and a PluX22 interface for easy digital conversion, including the option to add sound.
The Piko BR 181 locomotive model in ČD livery represents a distinctive six-axle locomotive based on the E 669.1 series, originally designed for heavy freight transport. In H0 scale, it is crafted with an emphasis on authentic body, roof and bogie details and is an excellent addition to a layout from Era V.
It includes detailed driver’s cab and engine room interiors as well as an illuminated control panel. The locomotive has an NEM pocket with close-coupling mechanism, a snowplow and white and red directional lighting that changes according to the direction of travel.
