Thanks to their exceptional robustness, mechanical reliability, and remarkable build quality, LGB models appeal to both collectors and enthusiasts of garden railways.

The history of LGB

Founded by the Ernst Paul Lehmann Patentwerk company in Nuremberg, LGB revolutionized model railroading by launching a range specifically designed for outdoor use.
