The large side panels with their distinctive fans and the roof with a pantograph define the appearance of the modern Vectron Dual Mode. Great attention was paid to details during the design and tooling process: the highly three-dimensional engravings of the ventilation grilles and bogies emphasize this with excellent optical depth. Technically, the model continues the proven line of PIKO constructions. It is powered by a strong central motor, with two flywheels ensuring excellent running characteristics, and diagonally arranged traction tires allowing for the transport of long trains. In digital operation, the cab and control desk lighting can be switched digitally. For this purpose, the model comes factory-equipped with a PSD XP sound decoder, which, in combination with the large speaker, provides exceptional sound experiences on the model railway layout.
