~Rh 242 Electric red-gold CSD V Sound

Novelty 2024: Model version of the S499.02 in the design of the Rh 242 ?SD in Era V. The model takes into account all the specific features of the selected prototype. As with the prototype, the S499.02 is also a further development of the legendary Laminátka in the model. The locomotive body with the eye-catching fan belt, whose engraving in the model conveys maximum plasticity, has been reproduced precisely. The engine room windows above are perfectly flush-mounted. A special feature is the framing of the front windows, which is done justice to in the 1:87 scale by separately inserted frames. Apart from its external qualities, the model is also technically impressive. Among the lighting functions, the undercarriage lighting with the filigree lamp lenses is particularly noteworthy. The model, which is equipped with a PSD XP sound decoder at the factory, can also be equipped with lighting in the drivers cabs, the instrument panels and the engine room.

The model bears the fits mfx® quality mark. In order to make digital decoders reliably usable for all users of the current Märklin digital control centres, a new fits mfx® quality mark was introduced together with Märklin and other manufacturers. This can only be used by digital decoders that have undergone and fully passed a special mfx® test.These decoders and also the locomotives in which they are installed bear the fits mfx® quality mark, which certifies unrestricted mfx® functionality. This means that PIKO products with the fits mfx® logo now also fully support the diverse functions of mfx®.
