Piko V60 diesel shunter announced 20-10-09

I read somewhere that the Railbus is something like 1/27 or so. Maybe Piko's other standard gauge locos are about the same. The upshot is that it looks like the prototype but "fits" with 1/22.5 narrow gauge stock; the Railbus model - a low vehicle in prototype - is lower than a standard LGB coach, for example...
 
And some more pictures of the actual production model that is currently being delivered to dealers in Germany:

You can see the loco and (just about) one of the new Piko coaches on the right-hand side of the photo.

PS We like big :applause:

Four pick up skates on an 0-6-0 - should be good for power pick up.

Tis big innit ?
Pretty well detailed too.

Yes, they are big in real life, too. See this photo - next to a Koef shunter:

so was a v60 narrow guage equipment?
 
Wonder if perhaps the sound effect is because its an analogue loco running on a digital system perhaps??


Ref the 4 skates, wonder if the wheels themselves are fitted for current collection?

looks nice though :thumbup: :thumbup:
 
sounds like its on digical, me piko railbuss made much the same noise before the magic smoke escaped from the motor... :(
 
i like it too -hope they have some luxury goodies like reversing lights and red tail lights etc

One of the comments on Youtube is that the loco is analog and being run on a digital test track.

I'm not too familiar with Piko locos. How do they compare to LGB quality-wise?

I've been impressed with mine so far. See the threads in the Product Review section for the BR80 and Railbus.
