News 2024.12 - Third Advent
Mariazeller Advent!
The quiet time of the year is almost over and we are looking forward to the few days after the festive season that we don't have to fill with all kinds of hectic activities - the unofficial festive days of the company holidays! Speaking of unofficial: the Christmas wagon of the third Advent was never actually an official Christmas wagon.

The model of the “Mariazell Advent” was first launched many, many moons ago by Josef von Lunz am See. The blue ÖBB B4iph/s 3154-7 with the invitation to the ‘Mariazell Advent’ was actually used on the Mariazell Railway, which makes it the guest of honour among the Christmas carriages!
On the occasion of today's Advent wreath, we would like to offer it to you once again at a greatly reduced price. By the way, there's a very special surprise next Sunday! Anyone who has been watching the last few weeks will already be able to guess what is hiding behind the fourth candle. But this much we can already reveal: we've already run out of the former Weihnachtswagerl!

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.
