The class 442 “Talent 2” electric railcars – the prototype for the PIKO model – have been used in DB AG regional service and by private railroad companies throughout Germany since 2011. On a scale of 1:160, the distinctive end sections, the bogie panels, the housings, and the elaborately designed roof section are reproduced prototypically. The propulsion system has been accommodated in such a way that even in the small N scale, there is an almost unobstructed view through the car body and still good driving characteristics are ensured. For the uncomplicated installation of a digital decoder, the railcar has a PluX12 interface. In addition, the model is prepared for retrofitting with sound.
