Piko 51168 - Sound two-power locomotive "dual mode" BR 248 Northrail VI
Sound two-power locomotive "dual mode" BR 248 Northrail VI, including PIKO sound decoder
New in 2025: Design variant of the BR 248 Vectron Dual Mode from Northrail in Era VI. The large side surfaces with the distinctive fans and the roof with a pantograph characterize the appearance of the modern Vectron Dual Mode. Great importance was also attached to details in the design and toolmaking: extremely three-dimensional engravings of the ventilation grilles and bogies with an excellent optical depth effect underline this. Technically, the model continues the proven line of PIKO designs. A powerful mid-engine serves 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 ex works, which in combination with the large loudspeaker also ensures special sound experiences on the model railway layout.
