Novelty 2024: Molded version of the S499.02 in the version of the Rh 242 ?D Cargo in Era VI. 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, the engraving of which conveys maximum plasticity in the model, 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 factory-fitted with a PSD XP sound decoder, 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 command stations, a new quality mark fits mfx® 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®.
