The Model:There is no accounting for taste, but there are things whose elegance is beyond all doubt. The new PIKO model of the NoHAB can also profit from the undisputed elegance of the prototype. To achieve this overall impression, great attention has been paid to details. The side ventilation grilles are used as strong dividing elements of the locomotive body with fine etched parts and are an absolute eye-catcher. But the distinctive front side windows as well as the side "portholes" also contribute to the excellent image due to their perfectly flush fit. Thanks to two powerful engines and finely tuned gear ratios, the model has excellent driving and pulling characteristics. The various lighting functions spread a pleasant atmosphere even in the dark. This model is rounded off by the gritty, clear sound of the sound model, which is in no way inferior to the prototype.

Additional examples were built for the Belgian state railroads by the manufacturer Anglo-Franco-Belge. The vehicles differed in various details, such as the installed engine power, but shared the same design principles and the beautifully shaped locomotive body. The locomotives performed extremely well and were used in various services. Their service in Denmark and Belgium lasted until the late 1980s and for about ten years longer in Norway and Hungary. Through the liberalization of the European rail market, many locomotives found new jobs with private companies in Germany as well, and some of them are still in commercial service today state railroads by the manufacturer Anglo-Franco-Belge.
