Product Spotlight - Our New Noch HO "Tannau" Display Layout

We recently received a new addition to our store - a brand new factory-built Noch HO Tannau layout.  We will be bringing the layout to the Trains 2012 show this weekend (November 10th and 11th, 2012) in Burnaby BC along with a completed N-scale Noch Traunstein layout so if you are in town, stop by and say hi!

If you can't make it this weekend here are a few photos of the Tannau layout, finished with Noch laster-cut structures and accessories (click any photo for a larger view). This is one on Noch's newest pre-formed layouts and is a great way to get started in HO scale without needing a lot of space. 

Come visit us at the TRAINS 2012 show November 10th & 11th

Trains 2012 Model Railroad Show
November 10th and 11th, 10am to 4pm

We will be there with lots of product and a NEW Display from the NOCH company featuring their new preformed layout "Tannau" fully finished running the Marklin Digital system as well as a completed N-scale "Traunstein" Noch layout. Show organizers have brought many new layouts this year and there is something for all of the family to enjoy (including the popular Lego train layout).

Marklin's Visit to Euro Rail Hobbies

We are  often having customers comment on this video when they discover it on our YouTube Channel so we thought it would be a good idea to feature it here as well!

Back in 2007 we were very fortunate to have Hagen von Ortlof and his team here in Vancouver to film for that year's "A Year with Marklin" DVD (distributed to all Marklin Insider Club members). The video includes a glimpse of our store and some of the beautiful scenery of British Columbia as well as interviews with Walter Menzel and his son Taylor, and a look at Walter's large Marklin HO layout under construction. Walter's layout features backdrops hand painted by his friend, artist Peter Bomhard (Insider Club members can see a feature on Peter on the Marklin TV episode 52 found on the Marklin club web site.) Enjoy!

Something new...

Welcome to the Euro Rail Hobbies and More blog, the latest addition to our web site. For those of you finding us for the first time through this blog, we are one of the largest dealers of European Model Railroad products outside of Germany. We stock Marklin, Trix, Roco, Fleischmann, Brawa and many more manufacturers, large and small. Located just outside Vancouver, Canada, we have served customers around the world through our retail store and online storefront at www.EuroRailHobbies.com since 1989.

Check in often as we have plans to cover a range of topics here including some modelling tips and tricks, some product overviews and reviews, and some customer's work on a 10 x 7 foot N-scale layout set in southern Germany during Era III/IV. Hopefully you will find some of what we post here informative and useful for you own hobby, and of course, feel free to comment on our posts and share your opinions and knowledge.
