Joined: 05/12/2004(UTC) Posts: 2,865 Location: CA, USA		Hi everyone, Excuse my lack of german language skills, but what does the test/measurement wagon in the front of the catalogue do? The incline measurement seems useful, but is the rest relevant as a layout construction tool, or really more of just playing around with speeds and whatnot? Maybe I haven't been closely watching Piko, but a great catalogue otherwise! They seem to be a rare brand producing italian models for AC...

I guess these are still ESU decoders, and I would expect to see 45 functions with ESU decoders, ECoS, and LokProgrammer soon. 29 functions per loco are enough IMHO, but NMRA DCC supports 16383 functions per address AFAIK, so there is room for expansion beyond 45 ...

PIKO seem to have found a renewed love for Uhlenbrock rebranded products. Like the Smartcontrol Light system, which seems to be a redesigned Daisy II. That being said, I too expect to see an upgrade of the LokPilot and LokSound decoders. An overhaul is overdue.

I really like them. Runs very smooth C-track. Not optimal that the decoders are locked but I can live with that. Thanks.

Just received an email from Modellbahn Walter Licht about a sale of Piko items. Wechelstrom Items (2 pages) Gleichstrom Items (5 pages) I know that some here like Piko stuff, so there might be some interesting items to browse.
