24.10.2025 Press Release: Make Christmas Even More Special – with the Exclusive PIKO Christmas Locomotive
When the first snowflakes fall, candles cast their warm glow, and the scent of cinnamon and fir fills the air, the most wonderful time of the year begins. And this year, there’s a highlight that perfectly combines tradition and festive lifestyle: the PIKO Christmas Locomotive – an exclusive train set that makes hearts beat faster.
At the heart of the set is a finely detailed Class 80 steam locomotive featuring a realistic steam function and atmospheric LED lighting. It is accompanied by two festively decorated freight cars in classic red and elegant green, adorned with golden ornaments. The wagons can even be filled with small gifts or sweet surprises – for an extra touch of Christmas magic.
Thanks to the included track circle and handy controller, the set is ready to go straight out of the box: set up, switch on, enjoy – and watch the train make its rounds around the Christmas tree.
The Christmas set is manufactured and assembled at the traditional PIKO site in Sonneberg (Thuringia) – a city known as the “Toy Town” for almost 200 years. Here, craftsmanship and attention to detail come together to create products that evoke childhood memories while reflecting contemporary design. The combination of regional production and modern aesthetics makes the Christmas Locomotive a truly unique piece of German Christmas tradition.
The Christmas Locomotive is more than a model train – it’s an elegant decorative piece that transforms any living room into a festive stage. Perfect for families who want to create special moments together, for model railway enthusiasts, and for style-conscious individuals who appreciate unique and meaningful design highlights in their homes.
With this special Christmas set, PIKO pursues a clear goal: to show that model railways today are cool, stylish, and modern. The company combines technical expertise with design ambition and emotional appeal – reaching new audiences who may not have discovered the fascination of model trains before.
The set will be available from November 2025, delivered within Germany free of shipping costs and packaged in an elegant gift box. Orders placed by December 18 will arrive in time for Christmas. Price: €249.99. Available online at www.weihnachtslok.de or at the PIKO Flagship Store in Sonneberg.
For more than 75 years, PIKO has been deeply rooted in Sonneberg, Thuringia’s traditional toy-making city. With the Christmas Locomotive, PIKO reinterprets childhood memories – making Christmas a heartfelt experience that connects generations.
