Electric locomotive Rh 1144 of the ÖBB, Era VI, with sound

With the newly designed PIKO 1044/1144, there will be authentic models of the high order numbers of this series in 1:87 for the first time. The characteristic locomotive face of the former ÖBB flagship has been excellently captured in the model implementation, as has the distinctive side profile of the vehicles, which posed challenges for the mold construction with its pronounced grooves and typical "portholes." The resulting impression of ideal optical effect continues in the bogies of the locomotive. Last but not least, the new 1044 technically impresses: A five-pole PIKO motor, on whose shaft two finely balanced flywheels are mounted, ensures smooth propulsion. The now obligatory light change has been implemented in contemporary LED technology, just like the attractive driver's cab illumination. However, it is not a given that the PIKO model also features the switchable lighting of the driver's cab in digital operation.
