Liliput
Liliput is a tradition-rich model railway manufacturer with a particular focus on Austrian and Central European prototypes. The brand today belongs to the Bachmann Group and has an eventful history dating back to the 1940s. The range comprises 1.328 H0 models.
Liliput is particularly known for its detailed reproductions of Austrian ÖBB vehicles — from the Class 1042 through the legendary "Transalpin" to modern commuter multiple units. But German, Swiss and international prototypes are also part of the programme. The models stand out for fine engraving, prototypical liveries and good running behaviour.
For model railroaders focusing on Austrian and Alpine prototypes, Liliput is an indispensable brand offering many vehicles that no other manufacturer has in its programme.
Buying Liliput H0 models — guide and tips
Liliput models use the direct-current (DC) system and can be upgraded with common DCC decoders. The brand belongs to the Bachmann Group and focuses on Austrian and Alpine prototypes — serving a niche often neglected by the big manufacturers.
Liliput for ÖBB fans
Anyone planning a model railway layout with an Austrian theme can hardly do without Liliput. The brand offers detailed reproductions of legendary ÖBB vehicles such as the Class 1042, the Transalpin and various commuter multiple units that no other manufacturer has in its programme.
Combining with other manufacturers
Liliput models combine easily with vehicles from Roco, Fleischmann and Piko. Especially for mixed train sets with Austrian and German coaches, combining Liliput ÖBB models with Roco or Fleischmann DB coaches is a natural fit.
