PIKO 59760 - Sound diesel locomotive BR 231 DR IV AC version, including PIKO sound decoder

New in 2024: Printed variant of the BR 231 DR in Era IV. Based exactly on the original, the model has the large front and side windows of the first delivery series. Just as typical were the separately attached handrails in front of the driver's cabs and the "tidy" roof. Prototype-oriented model railroaders should also be impressed by the precisely reproduced, robust bogie detailing, which can withstand the tough everyday operations on the model railroad. The engine with two flywheels, together with the heavy zinc die-cast frame, the elegant cardan shaft drive on four axles (two wheels covered with traction tires in a diagonal arrangement), gives the model excellent running characteristics and high tractive forces. The model comes with a matching PSD XP sound decoder with a large speaker and impresses with a wide range of digital and sound functions.

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 undergone 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 indicates unrestricted mfx ® Functionality certified. This means that PIKO products with the “fits mfx®” logo now fully support the diverse functions of mfx®.
