Piko 50687 - Pm2 Steam Loco PKP IV

Novelty 2023: Between 1930 and 1938, a total of 298 class 03 standard express locomotives were built for use on lines with a maximum axle load of 18 t for theGerman Reichsbahn. After the Second World War, 36 locomotives became part of the PKP fleet and were managed there as Pm2.

Arthur Honegger once dedicated a musical composition to the elegant Pacific steam locomotives. With the 03, such a machine rolls into the PIKO assortment. The high slender boiler and the airy bar frame with a clear view also characterise the silhouette of the machine in the model. The filigree chassis with fine spokes and very plastic balance weights looks particularly graceful. The new construction has matching add-on parts such as bells, pumps and lamps. Numerous attached boiler pipes complete the outer impression. The drive including flywheel mass accommodated in the tender ensures ideal driving characteristics.

The factory digital versions of the model have switchable lighting in the engine and on the driver""s cab, as well as a red flickering firebox. These functions can also be used by retrofitting a decoder to the PluX22 interface.
