Piko 97503 - ~Rh1000 Electric NS III Sound

~ NS III H0 Novelty 2024: Despite technical deficits, the locomotives of the 1000 series were visually very appealing designs that still have a touch of the streamlined age about them. This fact was both an incentive and a challenge for the PIKO designers. The sides of the elongated electric locomotive are divided by the finely engraved fan grilles, above which crystal-clear and perfectly flush engine room windows have been inserted. The roof is characterised by a streamlined bonnet. A finely detailed undercarriage, which rolls on extremely filigree spoked wheels, peeps out from under the long girder. Technically, the PIKO model is in clear contrast to the prototype: A solid drive ensures reliable tractive power. The lighting with numerous switchable functions uses LED technology. The centrepiece is a modern main board with a PluX22 interface. The model is factory-equipped with a PSD XP sound decoder with a large loudspeaker and has numerous entertaining sound effects. 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®.
