We have a new photo diorama!
As you can easily see, the great Rainer Imb from Artbeeren has built a wonderful photo diorama for us. We will be presenting it in more detail over the next few weeks. This week, we dare to take a furtive, almost intimate look into the backyard.

We are delighted to present five models that were personally handeled by Leopold Halling, the great-grandfather of tram modelling. The first edition of these models was delivered over 25 years ago! Today, we were able to assemble a few models from original parts and equip them with a new drive system. Contact us quickly if you want to hold a piece of tram and model tram history in your hands.

The HALLING model advent calendar is back! There is a child in all of us who still remembers the advent season. The days leading up to Christmas were filled with the smell of cinnamon and growing anticipation! Every day, we could see on the advent calendar how many days we still had to wait until the big day. This year, we are finally letting that child out to play again!

The Mostviertler has a new showroom! Our new boss, Mr Joachim Haselmayer, also known as the Mostviertler, had already been running the Mostviertler model railway station very successfully for several decades before he bought a bag of fleas called HALLING Modelle. It started out as a small model railway shop, idyllically located in the old railway station in Wieselburg a.d. Erlauf, but it has long since outgrown its premises.

Nine places – nine treasures, but only one winner! The Mariazellerbahn is Austria's most beautiful place! In the grand finale of the ORF prime-time show ‘9 Plätze – 9 Schätze’ (9 Places – 9 Treasures) on 25th October 2025, the Mariazellerbahn won the title of ‘Austria's most beautiful place’ for the first time, bringing it to Lower Austria. We congratulate them on their victory, even though we have always known how unique and beautiful Austria's longest narrow-gauge railway is!
