New from Piko for 2022. Class 101 printed variant with attractive DB AG advertising in the VI era. The modern Class 101 design has been accurately reproduced. The locomotive is "prototypically" painted red, including the "DB stamp." The single-arm pantographs have been reproduced in extremely fine detail. Sharply engraved bogies complete the visual appearance. Brake lines are included and can be retrofitted. A powerful 5-speed motor ensures a smooth ride. Equipped with two flywheels, the PIKO BR 101 is extremely quiet. Two diagonally mounted traction tires provide forward traction. Technical highlights are the installed cab and driver's cab lights. The light changes to red/white depending on the direction of travel, obviously using the latest LED technology. In digital mode, these functions can be switched separately. This is controlled by the PluX22 decoder. The sound version comes from the factory with the PSD S sound decoder. Another highlight of the BR 101 is the PIKO TrainSound® system on board.
