Introduction to the 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. In fact, their miniature models are renowned for being highly realistic and robust.
They manufacture a range of rolling stock, including locomotives, carriages and wagons. They also produce railway accessories such as tracks, rails and 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 has a second range called "Piko G", reserved for designing products in G scale: 1/22.5.
