An important announcement for model railway enthusiasts: FALLER® products are returning to Hobby Model Expo thanks to Emmemodels srl, which has recently become the new exclusive distributor for Italy!

FALLER®, in particular, has just celebrated its 78th anniversary, in which time it has specialised in the production of houses, stations, buildings and other accessories for model railways.

Its greatest innovation, however, are surely the products of its 1988 ‘Car System’ line: self-driving cars and control instruments for road traffic.

The ‘Car System’ line then received an upgrade in the 2000s called ‘Car System Digital’: printed circuit boards controlling each new functional model and digitally printed parts embellishing a multitude of decorative elements.

At the Emmemodels stand (Pavilion C, Aisle A, Stand 21), the latest FALLER® innovations will be presented athe fair and the functionalities of the ‘Car System Digital’ will also be demonstrated at the following times:

• Friday, 27 September: 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
• Saturday, 28 September: 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
• Sunday 29 September: 11:00 a.m.
