Novelty 2026: Variant of the railbus BR 798 of DB AG in mint green version of Era V. With the models of the legendary VT 98/VS 98 railbus of the Deutsche Bundesbahn, PIKO offers a vehicle perfectly suited for use on both main and branch model railway lines with many highlights. The railcar is powered by a strong micro-motor, equipped with flywheels for flawless running characteristics, and features a factory-installed buffer capacitor for optimal performance without sound interruptions. Motor and driving trailers can be coupled via a conductive short-coupling mechanism. The lighting functions of both vehicles, including the lamps above the cabs, are separately switchable. Despite the structural equipment of both motor and driving trailers, an unobstructed view through the passenger compartments is possible. For an optimal sound experience, the railcar comes factory-equipped with a PIKO sound decoder including speaker.
