The two model railway manufacturers Märklin and PIKO act as joint advertising partners for this project. The company logos of both manufacturers are placed alternately on the front sides of the locomotive, both on the original and on the model. The PIKO logo adorns the black half, the Märklin logo on the light gray. The PIKO H0 model from the Hobby series is also available as a sound version for the first time. The new PIKO SmartDecoder with load control is used for this. The sound project has been completely resampled with recordings on the original machine. The 218 497-6 from PIKO is the proud bearer of the new PIKO TrainSound® seal of quality. According to EU Directive 2009/48/EC, model trains/cars are not suitable for children under 15 years of age. Particular danger for children.
