Faller (Gebr. FALLER) is a German toy company founded in Stuttgart in 1946 by brothers Edwin and Hermann Faller. The company later relocated to the brothers' home town of Gütenbach in the Black Forest.〔(Faller.de ) Faller official website, Company, 9 January 2011〕 Faller now specializes in making scenery, plastic model kits and other accessories for model railroads but has manufactured a range of toys during its history, such as model aeroplane kits, the AMS slot car racing sets and die-cast model cars. Their modern product line includes railway structures, houses and commercial buildings, bridges, amusement rides and terrain accessories in H0, N, TT and Z scales, as well as the Car System. Since 1997 Faller also owns the Pola brand, which is now solely devoted to G scale structures.〔(PlanetDiecast.com ) 2 March 2011〕 Faller's older toys and models can be highly collectible today, together with their early product catalogues. ==Car System== Of particular note is Faller's "Car System" in both H0 scale and N scale, which consists of battery-powered road vehicles that have a magnet attached to the front steering. The magnet follows a steel wire hidden under the road surface, resulting in trucks and buses that behave in a realistic fashion without the need for unsightly guide rails. This system is used by the Miniatur Wunderland (German for ''miniature wonderland'') model railway attraction in Hamburg, Germany. Mechanisms are also available to stop vehicles and to switch them from one route to another, as at an intersection. These can be integrated with sensors and working traffic lights to create a realistic operating scene. In September 2013 Faller released their Digital Car System allowing computer control of the system. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Faller」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
