Another industry first from PIKO! 25-Ton diesel locos factory-equipped for full battery-powered operation, with PIKO R/C and realistic TCS digital sound built-in. Run the train over any track - clean, dirty or unpowered, even across the floor! It's all controlled from the convenient Pocket Remote, included with the loco.
Six standard size 'AAA' batteries (not included, high-capacity rechargeables are recommended) allow for long running time. The quick-change battery clip is located inside the engine hood and the front panel snaps off for easy access. 8 selectable R/C channels allow running multiple locos independently, or controlling multiple locos together in one train consist. What could be more fun than one PIKO 25-Tonner? A double-header, triple-header, or more!
In addition to the bright directional LED constant lights and cab interior light, the highly realistic digital sound is completely new, a joint development of PIKO and TCS, a name already well-respected for digital sound decoder technology. Numerous authentic sounds function automatically. And if the powerful high-fidelity sound becomes a bit much, there's an easily-reached volume control in the loco cab. Press a button to turn on the bell as the train pulls out of a station. Press again to turn it off. Press and hold another button to blow the horn as long as desired. Give the correct two blasts when starting in forward, and three in reverse, or a few quick warnings to clear the tracks. Even blow the grade crossing pattern of two longs, a short and a long blast. And this realistic control is easy with just one hand, at up to 80' range - unaffected by daylight and big enough for the great outdoors.
