Class 119 / E 19
The elegant express electric locomotive features detailed roof equipment, SBS pantographs, cab lighting and a PluX22 digital interface.
Discover the most important PIKO New Products 2026 at a glance: new electric, diesel and steam locomotives, multiple units, passenger and freight wagons, train sets and digital technology for H0, TT, N gauge and garden railways.
PIKO New Products 2026 | H0, TT, N & G represents an extensive new-products programme with more than 450 products across PIKO's four principal gauges. Alongside new liveries and lettering variants, the programme includes several completely new toolings and technically enhanced models.
In H0, the selection ranges from historic Deutsche Bundesbahn and Deutsche Reichsbahn vehicles to international electric locomotives, current Vectron models and freight locomotives. Particularly notable in 2026 are the newly tooled Class 119 / E 19 and the V 90. Both locomotive families appear in several technical versions, covering analogue two-rail layouts as well as digital sound and centre-contact systems.
In TT, the newly tooled Class 91.3 is one of the most important releases of the year. It is joined by new Class 143 and 243 variants, Taurus locomotives, diesel vehicles and freight-wagon sets. TT therefore remains particularly attractive for modellers wanting long trains with clearly visible detailing on a relatively compact layout.
N gauge also receives a substantial expansion. New models include variants of DB Class 116, V 200.1, Class 221, Class 216, modern freight locomotives and passenger coaches. PIKO is also celebrating 20 years of its G Gauge garden railway range, with the Class 248 Vectron Dual Mode forming one of the programme's most ambitious new vehicle projects.
Not every new product is a completely new tooling. It is therefore useful to distinguish newly engineered models from new variants of existing vehicles and technically upgraded releases.
The elegant express electric locomotive features detailed roof equipment, SBS pantographs, cab lighting and a PluX22 digital interface.
PIKO's classic diesel shunter features a Behr twin fan, finely detailed cab and extensive digitally switchable lighting functions.
The compact tank locomotive is offered for DR and ČSD with Next18, fine valve gear and digitally switchable cab lighting.
The large-scale dual-mode locomotive combines diesel and electric prototype technology with opening doors, a detailed engine room and numerous lighting functions.
PIKO offers the Metropolitan in 2026 as a train set with Class 101, two passenger coaches and a driving trailer. The coaches feature factory-fitted interior lighting, creating a ready-to-use long-distance train formation.
The four specialist pages provide a deeper overview of the respective 2026 ranges and organise the announced products by vehicle and product group.
Electric, diesel and steam locomotives, railcars, coaches, freight wagons and train sets in PIKO's most extensive gauge.
Open H0 New Products →Class 91.3, Class 143, Class 243, Taurus locomotives, diesel locomotives and new freight-wagon sets for the compact 1:120 scale.
Open TT New Products →Class 116, V 200.1, Class 221, Class 216, freight locomotives and passenger coaches for long trains.
Open N New Products →Vectron Dual Mode, Class 221, Class 95, Class 91.3, Glass Train, coaches and new SmartControl technology.
Open G Gauge New Products →Locomotives such as Class 119 and V 90 use a PluX22 interface. Compatible decoders can therefore be fitted later to suitable analogue models.
Next18 is frequently used in smaller scales. Examples within the 2026 programme include the TT Class 91.3 and N-gauge Class 116 families.
Many locomotive families are offered in analogue, DC-sound and, in H0, sometimes additional AC-sound versions.

A new model is only the right choice when it is technically and thematically compatible with the existing layout. These six checks help avoid common purchasing mistakes.
Vehicles in different scales are technically incompatible despite sometimes sharing the same prototype.
Many PIKO H0 locomotives are offered in separate DC, DC-sound and AC-sound versions.
A DB locomotive from Era III requires a different railway environment from a modern Era VI Vectron.
Modellers planning a later digital conversion should check the specified interface, such as PluX22 or Next18, before buying.
Long locomotives and coaches look more realistic on larger radii and require more lateral clearance.
Train sets, express locomotives and freight locomotives are most effective when combined with a suitable consist.
The most important questions about gauges, new toolings, digital technology and selecting the right 2026 model.
