Model trams

Leopold HALLING, originally a small toolmaking business in Vienna, developed a keen skill for model making and over decades became the largest manufacturer of model trams in the world. Today, in addition to the impressive range of trams, the company also offers the finest models of underground trains, suburban trains and regional and local railways .

Railway models and accessories

FERRO-TRAIN, originally known as a producer of filigree brass models, has developed steadily. Despite the most modern materials and technology, the traditional handicraft has remained in the production of small series models. In addition to the popular and wide-ranging assortment of rack railway models, the fine, small equipment details for dioramas and layouts round off the portfolio .

HALLING drive technology

The drive systems from HALLING Modelle are becoming more and more popular! In addition to the moderate price, the long service life and the constant availability, it is above all the very wide range of different wheelbases and the possibility of selecting several track gauges and wheel types, that makes HALLING drives the first choice when motorising models .

The ‘Vario drive’ becomes the VAR drive!

The good old Vario drive, the cornerstone of model railway motorization, is now becoming the VAR drive! And many people think that this is just another marketing ploy: same thing, new name! And in some respects, they are right. We haven't changed anything about the ingeniously simple and simply ingenious principle of the variable VAR drive.

    Typically Viennese!
    Say what you like about us Viennese, but we know what we like and what we don't like! Back when ‘Der Ulf’ made its first rounds in Vienna with its unique design, highly innovative drive concept and the lowest entry height in the world, it was immediately clear to all of us that it was no good and would never be any good. The real trams we've been riding so far are much better, quieter, definitely more attractive and they even smell better.

    The ALX drives are available again!
    It's like we're jinxed, but every year we misjudge the Christmas business for the ALX drives! On the one hand, this is good for us, as we reach our sales targets faster than expected, but on the other hand, we run out of ALX drives in January and upset our dear customers.

    Let's get to work!
    Following numerous requests at our last in-house exhibition, our popular freight wagons are now also available in yellow! For the first time, we are offering freight wagons with two, one or no platforms, making the construction train more visually interesting and somewhat closer to the often quite diverse prototypes. All freight wagons are delivered with a fine, easily removable ballast load, which also serves as ballast.
