News - December 23, 2008 - Walthers to Distribute LGB

Model railroad distribution giant, Walthers, announced that it will distribute LGB, Lehman Gross Bahn, large scale trains and G scale products effective January, 2009.

Walthers announced the deal on its web site http://www.walthers.com/exec/page/lgb

Walthers is pleased to announce they have been appointed by Marklin, Inc., to be the North American distributor of LGB (”Lehmann Gross Bahn”) products.

Walthers will be responsible for the sales, warehousing and distribution of Marklin’s LGB product line for the entire U.S., Canada and Mexico.

Walthers will also provide warranty and retail service for LGB products, and will stock a full assortment of LGB parts. Marklin will provide marketing and product/technical support to Walthers and the North American market.

For more information on LGB’s 2008 products, visit www.lgb-bahn.de to download the 2008 LGB new items brochure. LGB’s new items for 2009 will be announced in February at the Nurnberg Toy Fair in Germany.

Complete details about LGB product inventory at Walthers will be available in early 2009 and will be posted on walthers.com at the earliest opportunity.

This is good news for large scale and LGB fans. There was considerable doubt as to how LGB would distribute products to North America and whether the firm would continue at all.

Have fun!
