Piko spare parts - repair models instead of replacing them

Defective buffers, worn traction tires, worn-out gear wheels or damaged housing parts - many components can wear out during intensive operation on the model railroad. But instead of making expensive new purchases, it is worth taking a look at suitable Piko spare parts. These allow you to repair your valuable models cost-effectively, sustainably and true to the original. In our model train store you will find a comprehensive selection of spare parts for all common Piko series - whether for locomotives, freight wagons, passenger coaches or accessories.

To maintain this quality in the long term, the use of original Piko spare parts is recommended. This is the only way to ensure that function, accuracy of fit and design match the original model exactly.

Piko locomotive spare parts - drive, housing & power consumption

Locomotives are the heart of every layout - and their technology is particularly stressed. The following spare parts are particularly in demand for the reliable operation of a Piko locomotive:

Motors & drive units

A worn drive unit can be repaired with a new Piko original motor or individual gear wheels. Complete drive units, gearboxes and worm shafts are also available.

Current collectors & pickups

For digital operation or analog control - functioning current collectors are essential. Replace worn current collectors to avoid contact problems.

Housing parts & fan inserts

For many locomotives, individual body parts such as roofs, side panels, grab rails or fan inserts can be purchased separately. These can also be used to enhance the appearance of older models.

Couplings & accessories - a systematic connection

A functioning coupling is a prerequisite for reliable system operation. Particularly popular are:

• Piko standard bracket couplers
• Piko close couplers
• Piko digital couplers with current routing
• Piko coupler mounts & adapters

Special coupling drawbars are available for certain types of wagons, which take into account the tight curve radius on the layout. Flexible coupling hooks, spring mechanisms and brackets are also available as individual parts.

Spare parts for passenger & freight cars

In addition to locomotives, Piko passenger and goods wagons are used in many layouts. Whether passenger or freight train there is an extensive range of spare parts here:

Wheel sets for direct and alternating current

Wheels with or without traction tires, axle brackets, insulation - everything is available for Piko wagons. For example, a goods wagon with AC wheelsets can be converted to DC - or vice versa.

Bogies & bearing bushes

Bogies influence the running of the wagon on the layout. Worn bearings or warped axles can be easily replaced with original parts.

Add-on parts for wagon models

Piko offers many detailed parts individually - such as handle bars, steps, aerials, window frames or lettering sets. This means that even finely detailed wagons remain complete in the long term.

Digital technology & electronics - repair and upgrading

Many modern Piko models are equipped with digital interfaces or sound. If a component fails or needs to be upgraded, the following parts are available:

• Piko PluX12, PluX16 & PluX22 interface boards
• Piko LED light boards for front and rear lights
• Piko loudspeakers & sound modules
• Piko capacitors & voltage buffers

The conversion of analog models to digital operation can also be implemented with suitable Piko electronic parts or universal decoders.

Spare parts TT & N scale - small parts with precision

Precision is particularly important for smaller scales such as TT and N gauge. This is where original Piko small parts help to ensure flawless operation:

• Small wheel sets & miniature traction tires
• Micro couplings & coupling hooks
• Detail parts for roofs, brakes, fans

Thanks to precision manufacturing, even the smallest components are easy to replace - ideal for anyone who wants to keep their Piko miniature worlds true to the original.
