For it's a Jolly Good Faller

 I recently picked up these two plastic biuldings in a scrap store.

They were dearer than I'd like - £15 the two - but really quite lovely.

There's a smaller Alpenblick mountain restaurant and a large block of flats with shops at the bottom. The tiny detailing ist wunderbar! 

Both are plastic and have wiring, which I assume is for lighting. 

I tried to illuminate them myself with fairy lights but to no great success.

Do you think these are Faller biuldings for train lay outs?

    I do not know about the make, but they certainly look as though they are intended for a model railway layout. A great find, and very impressive models. Excellent backdrops for model photography.

  2. If these were only £15, in total, for both, then youve got a real bargain there Woodsy.
    I think they're great.

    1. Yep, fifteen for both. There were three smaller ones at a fiver each but I was happy with these two. Have you been to a scrap store Mish?

    2. If by 'scrap store', you mean a charity or 'vintage' shop, then yes, but I rarely find anything I'm after.
      Only '60s and '70s annuals, occasionally.

  3. These are absolutely gorgeous, both are large and complex, which is the way I like my German buildings. A bargain for sure! SFZ

  4. Nice models Woodsy. Faller, Kibri, Heljan were all European makes that I had at least a couple examples of in my HO scale days.
