The updated Expert line model depicts the iconic ÖBB Rh 1216 Taurus in H0 scale with four pantographs, crisp printing and fine detailing. A powerful motor with flywheels ensures smooth running, while white/red LED lighting changes with the direction of travel. The model is ready for a digital decoder (NEM 652) and features an NEM 362 coupler pocket with a close-coupling mechanism. Operation is analog DC, and the livery corresponds to era VI.

This Piko ÖBB Rh 1216 Taurus electric locomotive is based on the improved Expert line design: a longer body shell, revised placement of headlights and doors, and a newly designed roof with four pantographs. High-quality printing, including all decorative elements, is true to the ÖBB prototype of era VI. Thanks to meticulous workmanship, the model is an excellent choice for demanding modelers and collectors.

Running qualities are ensured by a powerful motor with two flywheels and a pair of traction-tired driven wheels for reliable grip. Lighting consists of white/red LEDs with automatic direction-dependent changeover. The locomotive can be easily digitized thanks to the NEM 652 interface and can optionally be fitted with a sound module. Compatibility with NEM 362 couplers featuring a close-coupling mechanism allows trouble-free operation with matching ÖBB rolling stock.

  • Realistic appearance and first-class printing in ÖBB colors
  • Smooth running thanks to a motor with flywheels
  • LED lights with direction-dependent switching
  • Ready for digitalization – NEM 652 interface, option to add sound
  • Reliable traction – 4 axles, 2 traction-tired driven wheels
