After we were unexpectedly invited to the “Model of the Year” honor by N-Bahn magazine last year, we completely changed our travel plans to the Nuremberg Toy Fair. The award ceremony traditionally takes place one evening before the start of the trade fair. We were completely surprised at the time that our locomotive shed with water tower (B00028) was named model of the year. This year we were nominated with 6 products in 5 categories.
When the rankings were announced, we were there – at least half of them!
The Rheingold cars, redesigned in collaboration with Arnold, were named model of the year in the N car category! We are really very proud that we have selected a popular model with our LimiteDModels (DM-Toys label for exclusive products - click here for the exclusive products) product selection and were able to properly implement it together with Arnold.
Our product manager for our lasercut range, Joep Stienen, already suspected it:
The light signal bridge takes second place - and that's how it was! At this point we would like to thank our supplier Viessmann again, as the signals are from Viessmann.

In the end, our coupling rods won 4th place in the technology category. What we consider to be a very good ranking compared to the competition - here you can find our coupling rods.
