I have not seen the Piko in person. However, I can say that I am thrilled with my Fleischmann E 52. It is a great model.

I also have a Marklin model of an E52. Lovely model but needs to be updated with a more modern drive train.

The Piko model looks very nice!

I have 2 Märklin models but not happy with the motor block, the unconventional design by hooking up the motor block on one side. otherwise I don't have a problem with them.
As I don't require any more of this type it would be interesting to know how the other 2 would perform (Fleischmann-Piko).
