PIKO 0-4-0 remote control loco.

[Leflick]

Just bought this loco from East Coast Models, from a set. £185 including postage. It runs on 4 aaa batteries, included, and a remote control that’s smaller than my car key fob!
Runs beautifully. The cost of a radio control set to convert my LGB Otto, £180. I wonder if Piko components are available separately?

Yes, there was a furor when the model was released, then the battery model, and finally when the remote control system was available separately.

A simple visit to the Piko site would sate your curiosity.

I have had a couple of sets from Topslots and one set already powers one of my Railcars. Link to my post on this.

Sundry Battery Conversions. Swiftsixteen Railcar Railbus battery fit Piko 35008, IP Jessie fit. LGB 2092 Fosworks. Piko class 80 Also Piko 35008

There was a thread about these some time back. https://www.gscalecentral.net/threads/swiftsixteen-railcars.314263/ I have had a sort of long time longing for one but never got round to buying one before they went off the market for a while. They appear to be available again, though may never...

I am waiting for one to be delivered, hopefully it will be here for this weekends running session.

I have the track cleaner version which I upgraded with the keyfob remote control.

Note that it uses 6 AAA batteries. I'm using rechargables for mine and I brought another Piko battery holder from Gaugemaster. Strikalite also make a battery pack although I think it needs bulking out as it is slightly smaller than the Piko holder....

Gizzy, I have 16 AAA 1100mah batteries arriving tomorrow. I will make sure that they are all fully charged and ready for the locomotive.

I now have three of the Piko 25T battery powered Switching locomotives, two are RC the other is the track cleaner. I have also invested in more AAA 1100Mah batteries (36), enough for a full day running session.

The latest locomotive to arrive at the CFR. I have removed the track cleaning pads and skates.
