Newest 2022: With the models of the legendary Deutsche Bundesbahn VT 98/VS 98 rail bus, PIKO once again offers a vehicle perfectly adapted for use on the main and side lines of the model railroad with many highlights. A real eye-catcher are the illuminated destination indicators on the side of the train. The motor car is powered by a powerful micro motor equipped with flywheel masses for perfect running characteristics and features a factory-installed buffer capacitor for optimal running characteristics without noise interruptions. Motor car and control car can be coupled together via current-conducting close coupling kinematics. The lighting functions of both cars, including the lights above the cabs, can be switched separately. Despite the construction of the power car and the steering car, an unobstructed view through the passenger compartments is possible. The power car can also be used in exemplary fashion as a traction unit for pulling individual freight cars. The rail bus has a PluX22 interface, which allows a digital decoder to be retrofitted without problems. In addition, the model is prepared for sound.
