I have been running Piko #56121 the DMU (Diesel Multi-Unit) "Desiro" BR642 for a week since receiving it from Edmund Baker. It carries the livery of Connex subsidiary - LausitzBahn.
I LOVE this model - here are some of the reasons:
(1) it runs beautifully - no jerkiness, no abrupt movement
(2) it takes all my tracks well even though I have a mixture of M-tracks and C-tracks
(3) it has no problem with any of my old M-tracks points (turnouts).
(4) it is beautifully crafted and Piko, unlike Mother Märklin, provides a driver in the front cab
(5) the windows are wide and beautiful (see third photo)- no motor is blocking any windows and I look forward to putting in some passengers
(6) the lights are bright white in front and red behind and there are cabin lights too (although these are more apparent at night)
Edmund has ordered for me a sound module to go with this train and that is the next thing to look forward to.
