The model:
Even after nearly 70 years of service, the Ae 6/6 series
locomotives reveal their timeless elegance as particularly graceful
machines. And PIKO has once again succeeded in creating a worthy
tribute to this Swiss cult locomotive with their model
implementation. Special features such as the straight corner
windows, the different versions of the apron sheets at the front,
the characteristic roof designs, and the versions of the bogies
have been consistently observed in the prototypes and series
machines. The PIKO Ae 6/6 impresses with a heavy die-cast metal
frame and finely detailed housing, finest painting and printing,
raised locomotive lettering, and delicate metal pantographs. The
five-pole, ball-bearing motor with two flywheels ensures excellent
driving characteristics. The LED light change is
direction-dependent, white/red, and, along with the cab interior
lighting, can be digitally switched with a PluX22 decoder. Other
highlights include the lovingly detailed engine room replica, which
is excellently showcased with the likewise switchable lighting, and
the illuminated driver's console. Brake hoses for retrofitting are
included.
