Piko Metronom Electric Locomotive

This product is a scale model of the Metronom electric locomotive, produced by Piko, a renowned name in the model railway industry. Founded in East Germany in 1949, Piko became a cornerstone of the hobbyist market during the post-war era. The brand is celebrated for its precise engineering and commitment to providing high-quality model trains across various scales, including H0 and G scale.

Today, the brand is owned by Dr. René F. Wilfer, who acquired the company following German reunification. While Piko maintains its engineering and high-end design headquarters in Sonneberg, Germany, a significant portion of its manufacturing for worldwide distribution is carried out in its own factory in Chashan, China. This combination of German engineering and efficient global manufacturing allows them to remain competitive in the hobbyist market.
