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.

The first electric trams!
The first Vienna tram line to be electrified by the Vienna Tramway Company (WT) was the ‘Northern Transversal Line’. This was a combination of sections previously operated as horse-drawn tramways, which Viennese people today associate with parts of lines 2, 5, or O. The prerequisite for the conversion was the construction of the Leopoldstadt power station, which initially supplied the necessary energy.
