The PIKO 40371 models the Netherlands Railways (Nederlandse Spoorwegen – NS) Class Rh 1100 electric locomotive in N Scale. Introduced after the Second World War, the Class Rh 1100 was based on the French BB 8100 design and formed the backbone of electric rail transport in the Netherlands for decades. Capable of hauling both passenger and freight trains, these distinctive locomotives remained in frontline service until the 1980s, when they were gradually replaced by the Class 1600. This highly detailed model features numerous separately fitted parts, fine pantographs, directional LED lighting, digitally switchable cab and engine room lighting, and comes factory-fitted with a PIKO SmartDecoder 4.1 with authentic locomotive sound.
