The design of the 150 series model follows the proven PIKO drive design. The solid five-pole diagonally grooved PIKO motor provides excellent running characteristics with two precisely balanced flywheel masses. The tractive effort of the locomotive, which is driven over four axles, is reinforced by two traction tires, which are located in a diagonal arrangement on the inside running axles of both bogies. The headlights and tail lights are illuminated by LEDs whose red or white changes with the direction of travel. The cab lighting and the tail light can be switched digitally. A PIKO SmartDecoder 4.1 with appropriate vehicle sound is installed ex works.
