Starting signal for the revolution.
At the toy fair in Nürnberg In 1952
the spectacular H0 programme in the
scale 1 : 82, later 1 : 87 and therfore
the largest rolling material up to
date was presented to the public for
the first time. The new series turned
out to be a huge success which even
forced its predecessors off the track.
65 years of track H0 programme
make it possible to delve into all of
the important lines of development.
However the company philosophy
of the early 1950’s with all of its
assumptions has not changed until
today: to build models of vehicles that
are true to the original on the highest
technicl level with brilliant design.
1999: The ICE-T is the
only ICE in the industry
that tilts in the curves.

By the way: Parallel to the success story
of the model railway, Fleischmann
developed a race car series that was
launched in 1967 and was marketed
as “Rally Monte Carlo”. It immediately
garnered international attention
and its compatability with other
race car layouts made it a sought
after collectors item until today.
