The SM31 locomotive was designed to shunt heavy freight cars at large freight stations, ports and industrial plants. The design was developed in 1973 at Fablok, based mainly on the SM42 locomotive, and was produced from 1976 to 1981 and 1983 to 1985.

New 2023 at Piko: The new SM31 design manages to impress not only by its size. The scale design beautifully reproduces the locomotive's massive proportions, while offering enough room for the finest details. Inside, PIKO's new design is also at the forefront. The locomotive comes pre-equipped with a PluX22 interface, making digitizing a breeze for any model railroad enthusiast. Equally easy is the installation of a sound decoder and a speaker with maximum diaphragm area, which combine to provide an optimal sound experience.
