Piko 51163 - ~BR 249 Diesel/Electric Locomotive DB VI Sound (MFX)
Sound electric locomotive / diesel locomotive "dual mode" BR 249 DB AG VI AC version, including PIKO sound decoder
New for 2024: The large side surfaces with the distinctive fans and the roof with a current collector characterize the appearance of the modern Vectron Dual Mode. Great importance was also placed on details in the design and tool making: extremely three-dimensional engravings on the ventilation grilles and bogies with an excellent visual depth effect underline this. Technically, the model continues the proven line of PIKO designs. A powerful mid-engine is used as the drive, two flywheels ensure excellent running characteristics and diagonally arranged traction tires enable the transport of long trains. In digital operation, the driver's cab and driver's desk lighting can be switched digitally. For this purpose, the model has a PSD XP sound decoder from the factory, which in combination with the large loudspeaker also ensures special sound experiences on the model railway layout.
The model bears the “fits mfx®” quality mark. In order to make digital decoders reliably usable for all users of the current Märklin digital centers, a new quality mark “fits mfx®” was introduced together with Märklin and other manufacturers. This can only be used by digital decoders that have ondergone a special mfx® test and have passed it completely.
These decoders and the locomotives in which they are installed bear the “fits mfx®” quality mark, which certifies the unrestricted mfx® functionality. This means that PIKO products with the “fits mfx®” logo now fully support the diverse functions of mfx®.
