1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the new PIKO SmartControl
®
System!
Congratulations for making this decision! You are one of the rst as we are ushering in a new era of
digital train control.
The constant development of model trains and model train control required a completely new approach
to digital train control. Therefor PIKO, as one of the very rst model train companies, decided to
introduce a novel system that really is easy to use and yet is still capable of handling complex train
control scenarios.
This is made possible by the combination of a powerful Smartphone (“simply brilliant”) with proven
analog controls like the speed dial and the physical buttons placed on the sides of the device:
Simply brilliant + brilliantly simple = simply brilliant -> PIKO SmartControl
®
System.
We hope the new system gives everyone the ability to control his or her model trains in a simple and
intuitive fashion – just start playing and try it yourself!
We wish you lots of satisfaction
Your PIKO Team

– the digital future of model train control
Simply brilliant – brilliantly simple
Station announcements, lights, motor sounds, conductors whistle – with real life-like effects model train
layouts become more and more realistic. Controlling such a layout should be user friendly and should
not require constantly looking at displays or digital central stations. The new PIKO SmartControl
®
System is the perfect choice for model train enthusiasts who want a modern and simple digital control
system.
It can be used for H0, TT as well as N-scale and with all track systems (only using DCC decoders).
It combines the advantages of a smartphone-control with the special requirements of the model train
hobby.
