PIKO 51620 - Electric locomotive Rh 1044 ÖBB IV

Novelty 2020 / 2021: With the newly designed PIKO 1044/1144 there will also be authentic models of the high serial numbers of this series in 1:87 for the first time. The characterful locomotive face of the former ÖBB parade horse was excellently captured in the model implementation, as was the striking side section of the vehicles, which definitely posed challenges for mold construction with the pronounced beads and the typical “portholes”. The resulting impression of ideal visual effect is continued in the bogies of the locomotive. Last but not least, the new 1044 is technically impressive: a five-pole PIKO motor, on whose shaft there are two finely balanced flywheels, ensures consistent propulsion. Model railroaders who prefer digital operation benefit from the modern PluX22 interface - it allows the installation of a digital decoder in just a few steps. The lighting change, which is mandatory today, was implemented using contemporary LED technology. What is not self-evident, however, is the lighting in the driver's cab and driver's desk, which is also available in the PIKO model and can be switched in digital mode.
