Novelty 2024: This new design from PIKO is powerful, compact and yet extremely delicate. The compact design of the prototype has been perfectly captured and realised to scale in the model. Thanks to the filigree ingot frame and the clear view in the engine area, the massive boiler almost seems to float. This impression is supported by the fine wheel spiders of the running gear, which also boasts a fine brake linkage. The typical structural features of the prototypes were also taken into account when realising the model.The crystal-clear window inserts of the drivers cab and the unobstructed interior allow a view of the detailed boiler and drivers cab rear wall.boiler and drivers cab rear wall. The die-cast zinc and metal parts give the model a very high dead weight which, in combination with the finely tuned motor with flywheels, ensures optimum driving characteristics. The factory-fitted PSD XP sound decoder can be used to digitally control the engine and drivers cab lighting as well as the flickering in the firebox. The Expert Plus model also has digitally switchable couplers and a wheel-synchronised, pulsed vaporiser.

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®.
