Description:

Catalog No: 37524 PIKO G SCALE 1:22.5 Diesel Locomotive "Cottbus" EPOCH VI

This a brand new G Scale PIKO "Cottbus" design. This robust and weather-resistant model was manufactured in Germany with UV and weather resistant materials for indoor and outdoor use. The model is extremely well detailed.

The model follows the prototype diesel hydraulic accurately with all wheel drive with connector rods and counter balanced jack shaft. Unlike the prototype, the model uses an electric motor to power all 3 drive axles and the jack shaft axle through an articulated motor block for operation on 24 inch raidus (R1) track. The model employs 6 wheel drive with 4 shoes for 10 points of track power pickup in two sealed and power train connected articulated motor block. The prototype has a solid motor block like many other models that do not provide the turning raidus of the PIKO design.

Note the articulated motor block with unique 6 wheel drive via 4 powered axles including the jack shaft that connects to all wheels. Power pick-up is from all six wheels and 4 shoes making 10 points of power pickup for reliable operation over points and on 24 inch raidus curves. Both motor blocks are sealed for reliable outdoor operation and coupler mountings are sprung for easy operation on R1 curves. Note that the front (left) coupler has a Massoth electric de-coupler (optional) for use with even double hook couplings. Shunting up to 24 cars on R1 curves is easy for this power house diesel hydraulic locomotive.


The directional three lights on the front and rear provide excellent nighttime operation. All features are prototypically accurate and highly detailed including the play proof railings with hidden wiring.
