GER: Diesellok Nohab Strabag V

Novelty 2023: Variant of the NoHAB diesel locomotive as My 1125 in the Santa Fe design of STRABAG in Era V. The ""NoHAB"" is undoubtedly one of the most striking diesel locomotives on European tracks. This is an offshoot of the legendary F series of the US manufacturer EMD, which was built from 1954 onwards by the Swedish licensee Nydqvist och Holm AB, or ""NoHAB"" for short. Due to the liberalisation of the European rail transport market, numerous locomotives found new fields of work with private companies, also in Germany, and some of them are still in commercial service today.There is no accounting for taste, but there are things whose elegance is beyond all doubt. The PIKO models of the NoHAB may also profit from the undisputed elegance of the prototype. To achieve this overall impression, great attention has been paid to details. The side ventilation grilles are strongly structuring elements of the locomotive body with fine etched parts and are an absolute eye-catcher. But also the distinctive front side windows as well as the side ""portholes"" contribute to the excellent image due to their perfectly flush fit. The impression is completed by the precise and highly detailed design of the bogies. A powerful and smooth running motor with two flywheels serves as the drive. The model has a PluX22 interface and is prepared for uncomplicated sound retrofitting with the largest possible loudspeaker.
