N BR 798 Diesel Railcar + BR998.6 Trailer DB IV

"The savior of the branch lines" was the name given to the VT. The PIKO models of the powered rail car and the cab car embody, like their DB prototypes, clear, functionally reliable, and low-maintenance designs. The powered rail car model is driven by a miniature motor that is equipped with two comparatively large, precisely dimensioned flywheel masses for the sake of perfect running characteristics. The drive acts on both axles. Since the powered rail car and cab control car can be coupled together via a current-conducting close-coupling kinematic system, two additional (and thus four) axles can be used for safe current pickup during operations with the cab control car. The powered rail car has a PluX16 digital interface according to NEM 658, and the lighting functions of both cars can be switched separately. Despite the design of the powered rail car and cab control car, a clear view through the passenger compartments is possible. The powered rail car can also be used prototypically as a traction unit for hauling individual freight cars. An axle without traction tires is included to replace the axle with traction tires of the VT.
