Fleischmann — the Nuremberg school, devoted to N
Founded in Nuremberg in 1887, Fleischmann built tinplate toys, boats, then trains that initiated whole generations. Today in the same group as Roco, the brand focuses all its craft on N scale (1:160) — where it has become an absolute reference.
What makes a Fleischmann
- The N reference — fine engraving, smooth drives, neat close couplings.
- DCC digital — Next18 interfaces on recent models, sound on flagships.
- The alpine fleet — ÖBB, DB and Swiss machines regularly in the catalogue.
- Compatible — track and stock work with Minitrix and the other N houses.
