Novelty 2023: Print variant of the GTW 2/8 as a three-part
"Stadler" Arriva in Era VI. The Stadler multiple unit, which is
popular in operational service thanks to its modular design,
represents a rail vehicle that is highly sought after by many model
railway enthusiasts. PIKO responded to this customer request and
developed both the GTW 2/6 and the GTW 2/8 as H0 models. The engine
and gearbox are completely housed in one of the two driving
trailers, which are equipped with interior furnishings and are
low-maintenance and invisible to the observer. PIKO attached great
importance to the precise reproduction of the futuristic appearance
of the modern multiple units, whereby the head shapes of the
different construction variants, which differ significantly in
their external appearance, were consistently reproduced. The models
are characterised by the separately and accurately fitted windows,
the numerous, fine engravings of the panelling, the highly detailed
reproduction of the bogies as well as the precisely controllable
running characteristics. The model has an interface according to
NEM 652 for easy digitisation and is prepared for retrofitting with
sound.
