The PIKO models of the Autorail Brossel leave an extremely likeable impression. The short wagons on four axles with equally short bogies are an eye-catcher on the model railroad. Especially the series 553 and 554, which differ considerably, have been a hard work for the PIKO designers – so different are the vehicles in detail. It was worth it: The model is convincing in all aspects. The extremely finely engraved molds give the carbody, car floor and bogies an excellent visual appearance, the elaborately applied details in the roof area look like the famous icing on the cake. The model is powered by a reliable PIKO motor, which is sized to provide a clear view through the model´s many windows. Two of the model´s axles are powered, and power is drawn from all four axles. A PluX22 interface is available for easy retrofitting of a digital decoder.
