Piko 52883 Sound diesel railcar VT 2.09 DR III AC version, including PIKO sound decoder

Sound Diesel Railcar VT 2.09 DR III AC Version, incl. PIKO Sound Decoder

With the newly designed model of the DR's VT 2.09 railbus, PIKO meets a frequently expressed desire of many model railroaders for a contemporary, detailed, and operational rendition of the well-known piglet taxi. After developing the innovative control logic for the DB railbus, for which PIKO received the Golden Track award in 2017, it makes sense to now lovingly implement the widely used counterpart from East Germany with similar logic. The railcar is powered by a powerful micro motor, which is equipped with flywheels for flawless running properties and has an optimally integrated buffer capacitor for smooth running performance without sound interruptions. The drive acts on both axles of the railcar. Motor and control cars can be coupled together via a power-conducting short-coupling kinematics. The lighting functions of both vehicles can be switched separately, and a clear view through the passenger compartments is possible. For example, the railcar automatically detects whether a control car is attached and then switches off the lighting between the vehicles. The factory installed PIKO SmartDecoder 4.1 Sound for PluX22 of the latest generation masters the data formats DCC with RailComPlus®, Motorola®, and Selectrix®. The installed speaker is precisely tuned to the railbus. Many locomotive-specific sounds such as engine noise, signal horns, brake squealing, and other switchable functions are individually callable. With adjustable individual mapping. The tail light is separately switchable. Sound is also available in analog operation - only engine noise.
