~BR VT 2.09 DR Ep. III + PluX22 Dec.

With the newly constructed model of the VT 2.09 rail bus of the Deutsche Reichsbahn, PIKO is responding to a frequently mentioned wish of many model railroaders for a contemporary, detailed and also and operationally suitable version of the well-known Ferkeltaxe. After the development of the innovative control logic of the DB rail bus, for which PIKO received the Golden Track 2017, it is obvious to now also to implement the widespread counterpart from East Germany in loving detail with a corresponding logic. The railcar is driven by a powerful micromotor, which is equipped with flywheels for the sake of perfectIt is equipped with flywheel masses for perfect running characteristics and has a factory-installed buffer capacitor for optimal running characteristics without sound interruptions. The drive acts on both axles of the powered rail car. The powered rail car and cab control car can be coupled together using current-conducting close coupler kinematics. The lighting functions of both cars can be switched separately, allowing a clear view through the passenger compartments. For example, the traction unit independently registers whether a cab control car is attached and then switches off the lighting between the cars. The PIKO piglet cab is prepared for an uncomplicated retrofit with sound and the largest possible loudspeaker prepared. The AC model is already equipped ex works with a suitable mfx-suitable PluX22 decoder.
