Dear PIKO friends,

We hereby cordially invite you to our Open Day (TOFT) on 22 June 2024 in Sonneberg/Thuringia.

For the 13th time, we are celebrating this special event with model railway enthusiasts from all over the world. We would be delighted to welcome you to our factory.
In 2024, our TOFT will be dedicated to the 75th anniversary of PIKO.

Experience our wide range of products in the four gauges G, H0, TT and N, look over the shoulders of our employees in the production of the garden railway articles and enter into a lively exchange with our designers. On the occasion of the Open Day you will of course also have the opportunity to buy attractive special models and 2nd choice articles at reduced prices.

For the entertainment of our younger guests, we offer a PIKO garden railway playground and other play stations as well as a large bouncy castle.

Your physical well-being will be well catered for with Thuringian specialities as well as cold and hot drinks.

To make your journey an unforgettable experience, we offer a selection of authentic special trains that will take you to us from various stations.

Of course, you can also travel by "normal" train. A free shuttle bus will take you from Sonneberg station to the PIKO grounds. For our guests arriving by car, there are plenty of parking spaces available nearby.

After reunification in 1989, travel between the FRG and the GDR was suddenly simplified. This sudden development meant that the railway administrations of East and West reached their limits. In order to meet the demand that arose, all available locomotives and wagons were used for the hastily established connections between the GDR and the FRG. This meant that even double-decker coaches used for local transport were used for the connections. Our TOFT train set of this year takes up such a situation from the years 1989 to 1991 and thus represents a year full of emotions, upheavals, hopes and colourful train sets. Treat yourself to this special souvenir!
