A little history:
The first CC 25008 were put into circulation in 1958 and were built in France under Swiss licence SLM. Originally, they were all based at the Annemasse depot in Haute-Savoie.
They ran mainly on the Aix-les-Bains - La Roche-sur-Foron line and on the Annemasse - Saint-Gervais line.
The CC20001, prototype of the CC25000 series, is being preserved by the Association pour la Préservation du Matériel Ferroviaire Savoyard (APMFS)
Manufacturer Piko,
The German model train manufacturer, Piko, designs rolling models from model railroading in various scales (HO : 1/87 and N: 1/160). Founded in 1948, the company has a wealth of expertise 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 with 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.
