New Homepage "Hermann Modellbahnen" from Switzerland

Hi Stefan;

Thanks for posting the link.  There are definitely some cool photos to see. 

I guess the only question I have is with your posted hours of operation, when does a working person find the time to visit your shop?

TrainPop, The times posted on the main page are the office ours and factory ours for suppliers and carriers like FedEx and DHL. You will find the opening our of our store by clicking on the blue icon above. Tue, Wed & Thur in the afternoons and twice a month Sat morning. There is always the oprion to call and we can arrange something.

Regards,

Cool web site Stefan and also to us USA readers if you have fire fox as a browser you can translate the text.

Stefan...are you still considering making replacement wheel set for the MTH cars in 3 rails..also consider some of the Brawa/Lenz cars could be upgraded this way. I know small market but pretty sure some people in 3 rails would like to be able to buy/ run them.

david1, I'm glad you found a way to translate and understand our homepage - I hope you like it!

Lafondue, I haven't gotten into making 3-Rail replacement wheels for MTH cars (just 2-Rail modern gondola and tankcar) yet, but eventually I will. I have done a sample model with a Lenz two-axle chassis and 3-Rail wheels, but haven't done it for Brawa cars. The problem is that they all use different axles  and learing systems. The Brawa car would be difficult anyway because of all its underbody details. I will se what I can do...

Regards, 

Stefan

Very nice site - clear, uncluttered, and easy to use. My German is rusty, and not all that good in the first place, but I had no trouble navigating the site. 

The prices for European-made items are scary. It's easy to see why MTH saw a potential market niche. I'm sure the Hermann, Fulgurex, etc. products are superlative - but at those prices, few of us could afford much of a collection! 

Finally, I was intrigued by the Fulgurex 4-8-4 tank engine on the used page. Never seen a 4-8-4T before. 

Thanks for the compliment for our homepage, its nice to get positive feedback after a hard and time taking work. I too like the new site very much!

Well, have you ever seen one of our (hermann) models in reality? Most of our costumers don't have large collections like some american collectors do. Less is more, thats how we collect.

Yes, this Fulgurex 4-8-4T steamer is really a special engine. Not a common sight here too, Switzerland never had such engines, I beleve they were unique to France.

Regards, Stefan
