I’m a North American HO scale modeler and recently purchased my first PIKO product which was the Southern Pacific KM4000 mit sound. The US market has always been waiting for one of our domestic model manufacturers to bring one to market but it fell on deaf ears. The sales success PIKO has had here is amazing the major retail model outlets/vendors since they had no idea the demand was so strong. And if this KM4000 is an example of the overall quality of your products then I advise producing more North American railroad models in HO scale and a little bit of N scale. The units we’d like to see is the Union Pacific U50C and the Southern Pacific DD40 and DD35. All of the units I mentioned are the larger sized locomotives similar to the size of the DDA-40X so there’s a lot of interior space under the shell to place PC boards, weights, speakers, etc. Southern Pacific also tested another European diesel-hydraulic locomotive, I forget the nomenclature at the moment but those of us that wanted the KM4000 will also buy the other type to complete the set so please consider this for future production as well. I really appreciate your time and you were smart for setting up production in Hong Kong, I advised Scale Trains when they began production a few years ago to prospect for possible alternate production facilities in India or other countries that are capable of fine detail work as your current factory employees. I,lived in Germany for 6 years while I was in the US Army and I miss my German friends and the beautiful country dearly, I’d move back there in a heartbeat if given the chance, best times of my life. I wish you well friends. Kevin DeVos Infantry.
Rene viele liebe grüsse vom rene. Ich werde demnächst mit der modellbahn wieder neu anfangen. Es soll digital werden aber ich weiss nicht welches System Ich hatte immer Gleichstrom analog
Piko is everything LGB used to be before the bankruptcy in terms of quality and customer service. In 2016 I got a defective throttle from a certified dealer on eBay and Johnathon and PIKO America took my old one and sent me a new one without issue.

You look like the engineer that comes in all the G scale locomotives.
The engineers look like him. Not a coincidence if you ask me :-)
i wish piko uses a metal body with their more expensive locomotive items.
