Manufacturer Piko,
German model train manufacturer Piko designs rolling models from model railways in various scales (HO: 1/87 and N: 1/160). Founded in 1948, the company has a wealth of know-how that they pass on in their designs. Indeed, their miniature models are renowned for being highly realistic and robust.
They manufacture various rolling stock such as locomotives, carriages and wagons. But also railway accessories such as tracks, rails, spare parts. Although they mainly produce 2-rail models (direct current), they sometimes offer products under a 3-rail operating system (alternating current).
Finally, the company benefits from a second range called "Piko G", reserved for designing products under G scale: 1/22.5th.
Piko G products have the special feature of being able to be used both indoors and outdoors. They have a "weather resistant" label.
