Faller - 232183 - Structure, Building, Commercial, Lodge - Commercial Structures

Specific Item Information: Switzerland is the land of rail transport and, of course, model railway layouts. The punctuality of the trains is just as impressive as their beauty as they pass picturesque towns and villages. A marvellous sight that unfolds in front of a fantastic mountain panorama. A fitting model for this mountain backdrop is the »Langwies« house, which was modelled on an original in Langwies in Graubünden. Its striking wooden façade on the upper floors, the external staircase to the entrance area and the wooden balcony lend the model an authentic charm. Dimensions: 93 x 89 x 75 mm

Model Information: Polystyrene structure kits. Some kits are unpainted while other kits are painted, but relatively easy to assemble.

Road Name History: Commercial structures are any buildings or other man-made structures whose principal purpose is trade. These can be high-rise officer towers, gas stations or fruit stands. Any structure where end-user customers come to buy things from sellers of that product or service are consider commercial structures.

This group will therefore include quite large as well as quite small buildings. Models of these buildings might be kits or pre-assembled. They might be painted or undecorated. They might come with a host of accessories and figures or they might be fairly Spartan.

Brand/Importer Information: Faller is a German toy company founded in Stuttgart in 1946 by brothers Edwin and Hermann Faller. The company later relocated to the brothers' home town of Gütenbach in the Black Forest.

Faller now specializes in making scenery, plastic model kits and other accessories for model railroads but has manufactured a range of toys during its history, such as model aeroplane kits, the Auto Motor Sport (AMS) slot car racing sets and die-cast model cars. Their modern product line includes railway structures, houses and commercial buildings, bridges, amusement rides and terrain accessories in H0, N, TT and Z scales, as well as the Car System. Since 1997 Faller also owns the Pola brand, which is now solely devoted to G scale structures.

Faller's older toys and models can be highly collectable today, together with their early product catalogues.
