Faller

Faller is a German surname and, in model railroading, the name of a prominent manufacturer of miniature scenery and buildings. As a surname, it is found among individuals in German-speaking regions, though it is not tied to a single notable person universally.

Faller GmbH specializes in model railway accessories, offering plastic building kits, landscapes, and related details for hobbyists. The product range concentrates on HO scale (roughly 1:87) and N scale (roughly 1:160), including houses, shops, stations, bridges, façades, and terrain features for dioramas and street layouts. Many items are sold as Bausätze (assembly kits) that require gluing and painting. The company also develops integrated features such as the Faller Car System, a line of miniature vehicles designed to operate on model streets. Items are distributed through international hobby retailers and catalogs.

Faller is regarded as a major player in the model railway market, alongside other brands such as Kibri and Noch. Its products have helped popularize detailed architectural models and realistic landscapes in HO and N scale, reinforcing the accessibility of realistic scenes for model railroaders and diorama creators.
