PIKO 59830 - Diesel locomotive BR 119 DR IV, top light AC version

New design of the DR BR 119 diesel locomotive, the locomotive series was nicknamed "U-Boat" because of the round windows in the engine room

Model:
The completely newly developed H0 model of the 119/219 series was derived, analogous to the original, from the clear, robust and functionally reliable construction of the V 180 from PIKO. However, since this was done with constructive consistency and high manufacturing quality, no PIKO model railroader (like the DR locomotive drivers at the time) has to fear for the reliability of their 119/219. On the contrary: thanks to the powerful engine with precisely balanced flywheels, the PIKO model of the 119/219 impresses with its smooth running and considerable pulling power. The shape and color design of the locomotive, called a “submarine” because of its portholes, is not inferior to its precision mechanical precision. PIKO supplies both the older version with the protruding roof and the integrated headlight above the front windows as well as the successor series without a roof projection with the third headlight below the driver's cab windows in all color variants known from DR and DB AG.
