New LGB Items Announced

We want to welcome you to our New Items this year with a roll of thunder. An American locomotive legend is making its entry into the garden season for 2025. What Ephraim Shay came up with was already a master achievement. A locomotive drive system that was simply so ingenious to service and repair, and that did not require large maintenance shops or large repair crews. Just the right thing for the nearly seemingly endless American forests at the time. And now you can enjoy this form of power transmission from standing cylinders to cardan shafts and bevel gears as completely new tooling done in heavy metal construction in three different variations.

No less interesting are our other new items such as road number 99 1561-2 that had the honour or misfortune to pull farewell runs on different narrow gauge lines or our VT 137 powered rail car with a prototypical look and authentic sound or our completely new tooling for the SOEG baggage car that is also used in public commuter passenger service (ÖPNV) with steam motive power. The LGB new items for 2025 are going up into the Swiss mountains with compact power to the “Newest One” of the DFB. After a long overhaul, road number HG 4/4 708 was able to do a final brake test on 9th September 2024, and is now waiting for the axle load tests to be done this spring. Our finely detailed model in heavy metal construction will always let you call an authentic symbol of the upcoming maiden trip as your own.
