Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

On a sprawling HO scale layout set in East Germany during the 1970s, the PIKO 50710 BR 62 steam locomotive glides out of the roundhouse, its firebox flicker and cab lighting bringing the scene to life. This detailed model of the Deutsche Reichsbahn Class 62 tank engine is ready for passenger and freight service, equipped with a factory-installed PluX22 sound decoder for immediate digital operation.

Key specifications

  • Scale: H0 (1:87)
  • Prototype: DR Class 62 (Baureihe 62)
  • Railway company: Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR)
  • Era: IV (approx. 1965–1990)
  • Power system: DC (2-rail)
  • Digital interface: PluX22
  • Sound decoder: PIKO SmartDecoder XP 5.1 Sound (pre-installed)
  • Length over buffers: 167 mm
  • Minimum radius: 358 mm
  • Coupling: NEM 362 shaft with close coupling kinematics
  • Lighting: Directional LED headlights (white/red), cab lighting, firebox flicker
  • Traction tires: 2
  • Driven axles: 3
  • Control: Analog (DC) or digital (DCC)
  • Special features: Detailed boiler, fine spoked wheels, numerous attached parts

Why choose it

The PIKO 50710 offers exceptional value with its pre-installed sound decoder, eliminating the need for aftermarket upgrades. The fine detailing, including spoked wheels and separately applied parts, rivals higher-priced models. Its PluX22 interface ensures compatibility with modern digital systems, while the close coupling mechanism allows realistic train operation on curves.

Ideal use cases

  • Model railroaders modeling East German railways in Era IV
  • Collectors of DR steam locomotives
  • Hobbyists seeking a sound-equipped locomotive out of the box
  • Layouts with minimum radius 358 mm or larger

Good to know

The locomotive is designed for DC analog operation but can be used on DCC digital layouts thanks to the built-in decoder. The directional lighting automatically changes with travel direction, and the firebox flicker adds a realistic touch. Note that the model is not suitable for children under 14 years due to small parts and sharp details.
