This listing is for a brand new, unopened Piko
96387 Polish PKP ET 41 electric freight locomotive. Road number ET41-166.
HO scale, designed for DC systems.
Includes a DCC digital decoder with sound decoder and extensive light functions.
Novelty 2023: Paint variant of the ET41 PKP in Era IV design. The PIKO
ET 41 embodies, like the large prototype, a clear, functionally reliable
and low-maintenance design. As a double locomotive, the PIKO model
consists of a vehicle segment with drive and a segment without drive.
Thanks to the powerful engine with two precisely balanced flywheels and
the cardan shaft drives on the two two-axle bogies, the PIKO ET 41 has
very balanced running characteristics. The high dead weight in
combination with the diagonal traction tyres of the inside running axles
of the driven bogies ensures prototypically high tractive forces. Since
also the four axles of the non-driven segment serve for current
collection and both segments are connected via a current-carrying close
coupling, the model has an extraordinarily safe current collection via a
total of 16 wheels. The model has a PIKO sound decoder with matching
loudspeaker ex works. As a special feature, switching to overhead line
operation is possible.
