PIKO 97400 - Electric locomotive BR S499.02 CSD IV

Novelty 2023: As with the model, the S499.02 also represents a further development of the legendary “Laminátka” model. Both series share the sublime model quality. This becomes clear in the precise reproduction of the locomotive body with the eye-catching fan band, whose engraving in the model conveys the highest degree of plasticity. The engine room windows above are perfectly flush. A special feature is the edging of the front windows, which is done justice to by separately inserted frames at a scale of 1:87. To match this, the ventilation units next to the windows were also designed as individual parts. Apart from the external qualities, the model is also technically impressive. Among the lighting functions, the chassis lighting with the delicate lamp lenses is particularly noteworthy. In models equipped with a digital decoder at the factory, lighting in the driver's cab, instrument panels and engine room can also be switched. Thanks to the PluX22 interface, the analogue version can be equipped with a decoder in no time and then has the same lighting functions.
