PIKO 52735 - Sound rail bus VT 98 + control car VS 98 DB III incl. PIKO sound decoder
New for 2022: With the models of the legendary VT 98/VS 98 rail bus from the German Federal Railways, PIKO is offering another vehicle with many highlights that is perfectly tailored to use on model railway main and branch lines. The illuminated train destination indicators on the side are a real eye-catcher. The railcar is powered by a powerful micro-engine, which is equipped with flywheels to ensure perfect running characteristics, and has a factory-installed buffer capacitor for optimal driving characteristics without sound interruptions. Railcars and control cars can be coupled to one another via current-conducting short coupling kinematics. The lighting functions of both vehicles, including the lamps above the driver's cabs, can be switched separately. Despite the design of the railcars and control cars, a clear view of the passenger compartments is possible. The railcar can also be used as a prototypical locomotive to carry individual freight wagons. The sound version of the rail bus has a matching PluX22 sound decoder at the factory.
