The Piko 37210 G Scale DB III BR64 Steam Locomotive is a 2-6-2 tank engine that served Deutsche Bundesbahn's regional passenger and mixed-traffic routes during Era III. Its elegant proportions and black/red livery make it a standout on any layout, especially when paired with commuter coaches or light freight. The BR64 is a favorite among collectors for its versatility and historical significance.
Equipped with a powerful Bühler motor and working smoke unit, this locomotive offers smooth operation and immersive realism. Directional lighting and stainless steel drive wheels ensure reliable performance across varied terrain. Molded piping, ladders, and handrails add prototypical accuracy, while the injection-molded driver centers reflect Piko's commitment to detail.
This model is DCC and sound-ready, offering upgrade paths for advanced users while remaining analog-compatible for traditional setups. Whether you're recreating post-war German rail service or building a scenic branch line, the BR64 delivers charm, power, and precision.
