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 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.

The exemplary models, which are around 57 cm (!) long, are manufactured by the Viennese model railway company HALLING Modelle on the outskirts of Vienna and steal the show from many of the models produced to date!
