This, they calculate, will generate a secure basic income, because toys are only affordable for a few people in those times. It becomes painfully clear as early as 1948 how accurate the prediction of the two Fall- ers is. The currency reform causes the fledg- ling toy market to collapse abruptly.

75 plus – The future “We will continue to focus on model build- ing and offer something to all those who are passionate about this hobby. By the way, this doesn‘t necessarily need to be coupled with a model railway. Even dioramas on their own are very exciting too.” “FALLER CREATE” is reso- lutely developing in the direction of individu- alisation expanded with new possibilities to become the central source for all those who enjoy designing something unique. Technical innovations will also find their way into the “Car System Digital”, be it in the direction of miniaturisation or wireless control hardware. And of course new, fascinating models are al- ways being devised: new accessories for the landscape and new technical add-ons to en- liven the layout by means of movement, light or acoustics. “The sustainability issue con- cerns us enormously from an entrepreneur- ial point of view.” Sooner rather than later, FALLER wants to become a climate-neutral company, which includes internal process- es as well as the product portfolio. “We are thinking in particular of the increased use of recyclates, new packaging and implementing the environmental issue directly into product development.” All this, Horst Neidhard em- phasises, remains anchored in Gütenbach, because “we have a network of long-standing partners and short distances here, and can react quickly. Only when development and production can work hand in hand, do you get the right result.” Faller is better equipped than ever for its 75th anniversary, with a treasure trove of new ide- as and new concepts. Even the Covid pan- demic has not been able to harm the compa- ny so far – on the contrary: “many people have rediscovered the model-building hobby in a time of crisis.” 1988 Car System 2015 Villa in Tessin 1997 Black Forest farmyard

Anniversary model LIMITIERTES PREMIUM MODELL 140 130820 »Bran« Castle Limited-edition anniversary model for »75 Years of FALLER«. Accurate replica of Bran Castle, which was built in the 14th century in the municipality of Bran in Siebenbürgen, Romania, as a fortification and was later converted into the royal dwelling. The multifaceted layout of the castle with its irregular floor plan and extravagant roofscape was developed over the course of multiple modifications and expansions through the centuries. The inner courtyard with its half-timbered elements is surrounded by the high, square central tower with its mono-pitched roof and ridge turret to the north, the main residence with its roof terrace and solid natural stone outer wall to the east, the gatehouse with a sentry box and large outside staircase to the castle, a prominent stair tower with a conical roof and an annexe for the park access to the south, and a battery tower with an enclosed round tower displaying a conical roof in the south-westerly direction. The model is equally suited to being built as a hilltop or lowland castle. The castle, which is now used as a museum, is closely con- nected to the myth of the vampire Count Dracula. As legend has it, the historical figure Vlad III, who at that time was the ruler of the Principality of Wallachia and possibly the inspiration for Bram Stoker‘s famous fictio- nal character, used the castle as his residence.

That’s because the premium model for the company‘s 75th anniversary is also produced using injection moulding. This means calling on the expertise of the in-house toolmaking department. The 1,100 parts are distributed over 26 tools, from which a total of 100 mitred parts are produced thanks to interchangeable inserts. The 26 tools are not only differentiat- ed by colour, but also by individual building. This is important because parts of the castle can also be separate structures. The Rapun- zel tower, also a new item for the anniversary year, is one such spin-off of the castle and is designed so that it can also stand on its own in the model landscape. “This allows us to use our very expensive tools multiple times.” Bran and the Dracula legend Lists of parts are drawn up, process sequenc- es defined and the necessary raw materials planned in conjunction with the toolmaking. The user manual also needs to be prepared and checked. It is almost like a construction site in real life: many things have to fit togeth- er seamlessly to achieve a perfect result. And anyone who starts building will soon realise that Bran is not just a pretty shell.

Placing only seated people creates less of an atmosphere.” It is very important for Mielke that the viewer can see why the filler figures are there. He adds: “Filler figures are not loners, but group beings. They only create an effect when more than a certain amount are there.”

Should I already be anticipating modification options when planning my model layout? You can, but it’s not really necessary. Experi- ence shows that a layout grows organically.

Z – delicately lasered Filigree parts and detailed structures can be created by laser cutting. The process is virtually predestined for Z-scale model building. No wonder that FALLER uses laser cutting intensively and optimises it again and again, especially in this sector. Laser-Street street elements – easy to handle street parts which already have the groove for the guide wire. “The flatness inherent in materials is much less noticeable in small sizes. The smaller the scale, the less one perceives the existing texture. That‘s why Z gauge is particularly well suited for laser cutting”, says Hendrik Mielke, Head of Development at FALLER. As the name suggests, the main component of this pro- cess is a laser. This structures materials sur- faces with the utmost precision, cuts individ- ual parts out of them or combines both in one operation, including the numbering of the el- ements. The great advantage of this process: it is completely digital and does not require expensive tool moulds, because the data contained in a file determines the product. The file contains all the coordinates that the laser needs to do its work, including whether the surface is to be very delicately structured, worked on more deeply or a separation cut is to be made. The laser then removes the ma- terial with the utmost precision and without deviating. But things are not quite that simple when you come down to it.

314

A question of materials Although the digital workflow from the com- puter to the machine sounds simple, a prod- uct has to materialise again in the end. And FALLER has accumulated a great deal of know-how, especially with regard to mate- rials. “We only use special and high-quality materials that produce an optimal and repro- duceable result.” Of course, such materials have their price. “For example, we use very homogeneous aircraft plywood made of pop- lar or birch in AA quality on both sides. This is important because otherwise the boards warp and the precision suffers.” But such materials are very expensive, just like those solid-coloured graphic boards that FALLER buys in precisely defined thicknesses from specialised manufacturers. “We match the materials and the laser process exactly”, says Mielke. “Anything else does not correspond A fine laser engraves Sensitive process and cuts the shape The computer-designed model building is to FALLER quality.” This process optimisation of a house wall. stored as a CAD file, optimised for laser cut- goes so far that the materials are stored in a ting and then goes directly to the laser sys- climate-controlled environment until short- tem. It’s a linear process, straightforward and ly before use in order to keep their moisture free of errors. Or so you would think, but even content at a defined level. This also includes with laser cutting the devil is often in the de- MDF. “If too much moisture evaporates from tail. FALLER began to use the process produc- the material during processing, the laser is tively about 10 years ago and has continued weakened, making the results useless.” to adapt and optimise the technology. This also includes “designing things so that they are economically feasible”, says Hendrik Miel- ke. That’s because laser cutting also has its cost considerations. Whereas with injection moulding these mainly involve the tools and the changeover times of the machines, with laser cutting it’s primarily the running times of the system and also the materials that are cost-relevant. The rule of thumb is: the larger an element, the more detailed and deeper the structure is to be, the longer the machine will have to work on it. So laser cutting is hardly suitable for larger quantities. On the other hand, for small series all the costs would have to be allocated to the few copies. “Limited 180617 Transport boxes and products with 500 copies are easily doable cable rolls with laser cutting”, explains Hendrik Mielke. Laser cutting is a technique for flat surfaces. Three-dimensional shapes are currently not machinable. That remains the domain of in- jection moulding or 3D printing so far.

315

Naturalistic look As technical as laser cutting is as a process, the results are impressive. “We can use the natural material wood true to the orig- inal, with an identical look and feel”, says Mielke. “This makes every model and every layout more authentic, more exciting and quite simply more beautiful, especially in Z scale.” As an example, Mielke mentions the »Durlesbach« Station with its wooden shed extension, its wood-panelled gables and large tile-covered roofs. The carriage turntable also has a realistic material appearance with its wooden planks. “We always use laser cutting selectively when it helps the quality of the kit. We don‘t have a laser cutting series.” Z gauge with its small parts, its fine structures and textures is absolutely perfect, also because Z gauge represents a small market volume with low quantities compared to H0. “Z scale has great advantages because exciting dioramas with or without a railway can be created in a very small space. Compared to larger scales, the layout concepts are more compact and thus offer completely different possibilities.” And thanks to laser cutting, there are also enough model buildings available.

WITCHING HOUR IN H0 The ride through the spooky world of the “Daemonium”, one of the largest travelling ghost trains in the world, extends over three floors.

How did you cope with the construction of the Daemonium? DP We were extremely pleased that FALLER is introducing a new ghost train, because a big ghost train simply belongs at every funfair. We’ve always enjoyed watching the original Daemonium and even rode it a few times. The Daemonium kit is superbly constructed. It does consist of a great number of individual parts, but the instructions are really good and the assembly is super simple and quick. The Daemonium is one of the best rides in terms of propulsion. Everything runs cleanly and quietly. We’re extremely happy with the model and really pleased that an outstanding, large ghost train is now part of our funfair. Which details of the Daemonium did you par- ticularly like? DR Clearly, the sword with the spinning skull. DP The figures and their colours as such are very close to the original. I was pleased to see the front already printed, because adhesive films for large surfaces are always tricky. If you make a mistake, it’s almost impossible to correct it. The fact that the decoration was basically ready made the assembly much eas- ier. It was a lot of fun to put the model togeth- er. The result is simply overwhelming for us. If you could be a model object, what would you be? DR I’d be a bus, because I’m a huge fan of bus- es. DP I’d be a figure walking across our own lay- out. What would be your favourite spot? DP On the Ferris wheel. DR And I’d go check out the Daemonium first. That would be perfect. “Unique pieces like this are cool because no one else has them, except for us. That makes us proud and makes our layout a very special one.” On their Instagram channel, you can discover more home-made models. kirmeswelt_paro
