Specific Item Information: When implementing the 101 series on a scale of 1:160, PIKO hit the external design of the three-phase locomotive perfectly. Details such as the DSA 350 single-arm pantograph were delicately reproduced. The sharply engraved bogies behind the low aprons round off the visual impression of the locomotive perfectly. A powerful mid-engine provides propulsion in the model. Two brass centrifugal masses on the motor shaft ensure excellent synchronization. The locomotive also has two diagonally arranged wheels with traction tires for good traction. Thanks to the modern Next18 interface, a digital decoder can be retrofitted in no time at all. In addition to the headlights using LED technology, the model also has driver's cab lighting.

Deutsche Bahn AG (abbreviated as DB, DB AG or DBAG) is a German railway company. Headquartered in Berlin, it is a private joint-stock company (AG), with the Federal Republic of Germany being its single shareholder. Deutsche Bahn describes itself as the second-largest transport company in the world, after the German postal and logistics company Deutsche Post / DHL, and is the largest railway operator and infrastructure owner in Europe. It carries about two billion passengers each year.

Deutsche Bahn (literally "German Railway" in German) came into existence in 1994 as the successor to the former state railways of Germany, the Deutsche Bundesbahn ("German Federal Railway") of West Germany and the Deutsche Reichsbahn ("German Empire Railway") of East Germany. It also gained ownership of former railway assets in West Berlin held by the Verwaltung des ehemaligen Reichsbahnvermögens (Administration of the Former Reichsbahn Assets).
