Faller Car System Conversion Chassis

For the last couple of years or so, we have had modellers using complete Faller car system vehicles as a basis for their own models; that is, taking an existing Car System vehicle, stripping off the supplied body and substituting the body of a preferred vehicle. This was particularly so with modellers wanting British outline vehicles in preference to the largely German/European models in the Faller range.

A couple or so years ago, however, Faller introduced the first of its Conversion Chassis, as a way of expanding the range of vehicles able to be run on its Car System, without the necessity of producing their own version of each vehicle. Their Conversion Chassis have been designed primarily to be used for other vehicles produced by 'Herpa',, which already produces a number of the bodies used by Faller in its own vehicles.

Innovative Kiwis, however, have had other ideas and we are now supplying the conversion kits for modellers wishing to either produce their own, one-off vehicle bodies or wishing to place conversion kits into existing vehicles. One has even added working stop lights and turning signals to some of his models, something not yet available in the existing Faller range apart from their digital offerings.

The present HO Conversion Chassis range includes FA161470 (Two-axle truck) ; FA161471 (Three-axle truck); FA161472 (VW T5 van); FA161473 (MB Sprinter van - available from May 2020); FA161474 (Truck, MB Citaro bus - available from July 2020); FA161475 (Bus Setra 315 - available from May 2020). Each of these has a rechargeable battery supplied, except the FA161475, which has two 'AAA' batteries.

As well as the above, there are two HO Conversion Chassis that are supplied without a battery, being FA163703 (Bus or Truck) and FA163704 (Van). Finally, there is one Conversion Chassis available for 'N' modellers FA163710 (for 'N' bus or 'N' Truck). Suitable, rechargable batteries are, however, available for these vehicles.

Two, new, Faller Promotional Sets for 'N' modellers.

In September 2019, we received news of more promotional sets from Faller, this time for 'N' gauge modellers. Promotional sets are usually very keenly priced (Especially at Eurorail Models Ltd.).The featured models this time are 239005 and 239006. Faller 239005 comprises a large, half-timbered warehouse and a large crane on its own tracks, to handle timber movements. This model would justify its own siding. The second model, 239006, is of two, hot-air balloons, also at a very good price.

New promotional sets from Faller

In recent times, Faller have taken to offering Promotional Sets of some of their kitset models. They are now doing this several times each year and the latest offering includes: Faller 190069 'Carriage repair hall'; Faller 190070 'Small Funfair'; Faller 190071 'Black Forest village' and Faller 190072 'Bruderstadt station'. These are expected to be available in September or October 2019. The particular month of their release in shown on the listings on this website.

Promotional Sets are great value as the whole set is usually available more cheaply than its component parts.

Faller's Giant Container crane 120290 soon to have drive kit 180290

When Faller brought out their huge Container Crane in December 2018, everyone was wondering if there would be a drive kit to go with it. I'm pleased to say that a special drive kit has been announced and that it will be available in November 2019.
