About

PIKO

Piko was founded in 1949 in Sonneberg, East Germany, originally as a state-owned enterprise (VEB Piko) tasked with providing high-quality model trains to the Eastern Bloc. Following the reunification of Germany, the company faced an uncertain future until it was acquired in 1992 by Dr. René F. Wilfer, who transformed it into a global powerhouse. Today, Piko is renowned for its incredible development speed and "maker" attitude, consistently releasing a staggering number of new molds each year. Operating from its historic headquarters in Sonneberg and its own modern production facility in Chashan, China, the brand has successfully bridged the gap between entry-level accessibility and "Expert" grade precision.

The company’s product philosophy is uniquely organized into tiers to cater to different budget and detail requirements. The Hobby line provides robust, affordable entry points for beginners, while the Classic line focuses on re-releasing iconic vintage molds with modern mechanical internals. However, it is the Expert line that has defined Piko’s modern era, offering museum-quality detailing, intricate etched parts, and sophisticated lighting at a price point that often undercuts its long-established competitors. This "Expert" standard has made Piko a formidable rival to legacy brands, as they provide high-fidelity models that are as mechanically sound as they are aesthetically pleasing.

Piko is a rare "all-scale" manufacturer, maintaining a dominant presence in H0 (1:87), TT (1:120) and N (1:160), while also reigning as a world leader in G Scale (1:22.5) garden railways. Their G Scale products are particularly famous for their weather-resistant construction and "ball-bearing" motor technology, making them the gold standard for outdoor layouts. In recent years, the brand has heavily invested in its own digital ecosystem, moving away from third-party decoders to develop the PIKO SmartDecoder XP 5.1. This hardware supports advanced "TrainSound" profiles, mfx-compatibility, and seamless integration with their SmartControl wlan systems, allowing for a "plug-and-play" experience across both DC and AC (Märklin) systems.
