Hi Rick, We are pretty sure we got your email as well and are responding from the [e-mail] email. Thanks for asking.

Jonathan, Can you do a Smart-programmer tutorial?

[@danpikoamerica7314]

Kenny, We would like to but I am afraid that we have a long list of videos to get to and not a lot of time to create videos - especially lately! The software for the SmartProgrammer is relatively straight-forward and should assist you in programming any PIKO SmartDecoder. For more info you can always send us an email at [e-mail] and we will do our best to assist you.

Dan@PIKOAmerica Ok, thank you.

Does the smart programmer only work with Piko decoders?

My front coupler broke off my 0-6-0 Union Pacific with tender Csn I replace it with and loop coupler?

[@PIKOAmerica]

Hi Douglas: If just the coupler itself is broken, that's a standard catalog service part, item 36030, which should be available through your PIKO retailer. Just one screw holds the coupler in place. If the mounting arm that supports the coupler is broken, that replacement part needs to come from our parts department. That's a fairly simple item to replace. Hopefully it is nothing more than that. Feel free to give us a call at 877-678-4449 or email [e-mail].

+PIKO-America I got a picture of the part. Can I direct message you?

Hi Douglas: You would need to email it to [e-mail]
