.German model train manufacturer, Piko, designs rolling models derived from railway modelling 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 designed to be very realistic and robust. They manufacture various rolling stock products such as locomotives, carriages and wagons. But they also produce railway accessories such as track, rails and spare parts. Although they mainly produce 2-rail (direct current) models, they sometimes offer products in 3-rail (alternating current) operating systems.
Finally, the company has a second range called Piko G, which serves the design of products in G scale: 1/22.5.
