Commercialization of the Thalys PBKA, which operates as an international high-speed train in Europe.
While the PBA published in October 2020 applies exclusively to the Paris (P)-Brussels (B)-Amsterdam (A) section, PBKA applies in addition to the above-mentioned Paris (P)-Brussels (B)-Cologne (K) sections. Is also active.
Unlike the PBA, the PBKA front locomotive is characterized by a rounded shape. We will market it with the current new livery that appeared in 2016 for the 20th anniversary of commissioning. The head part supports connection with a drawbar, and it is possible to reproduce the combined operation with PBA and the combined operation between PBKA.
After leaving Paris, PBA and PBKA will split into the Netherlands and Germany in Brussels and head for their respective destinations.
You can enjoy it alongside KATO's European products, such as the TGV operating in France, the Eurostar running to Paris and the ICE4 running in Germany.
- The product prototype is 4303.
- Reproduce the antenna added on the roof of R2 and R7.
- Not only the characteristic red body paint, but also the color tone difference between the part that starts at the side of the front of the locomotive and the part around the side window is reproduced.
- Beautiful reproduction of the locomotive and passenger car numbers as well as the door switches.
- The connecting part that connects the locomotive and the passenger car uses the same drawbar as the 10-1657 Thalys PBA in new livery.
- Stable running is achieved by using a drive unit with a flywheel.
- DCC compatible. The one with 6-pin socket is suitable for M1 and M2. However, it is necessary to change the CV29 value setting of the decoder installed in the M2 to reverse the control of the headlight/tail light.
- Headlights/taillights illuminate. Headlight uses a colored LED bulb. Includes a dummy board that supports turning off the headlights/taillights when combined and connected
- By removing the coupling cover on the front of the locomotive and using the attached combined drawbar, it is possible to recreate a 20-car train combining two trains similar to the actual carriage.
- Accessories: pull rod for flow connection (1 long / 1 short), blanking plate for switching off the light
