Liliput

Liliput stands for detailed model railways in the track gauges H0, H0e and N – with roots in Vienna (founded in 1947 by Walter Bücherl) and today as a brand of Bachmann Europe with a German branch in Altdorf near Nuremberg. Production takes place within the Bachmann/Kader group, with development and sales in Europe. The brand is known for prototypical locomotives, multiple units, and freight and passenger cars based on German, Austrian, and Swiss prototypes – including classics such as the BR 42 steam locomotive or the BB tender series, as well as modern regional trains like the Stadler FLIRT and KISS (also available as AC versions). Current new releases for 2025/26 demonstrate Liliput's range: H0 steam locomotives & classics (e.g., BB&BB series 378/93 and BR 42 in various weatherings). H0 multiple units (FLIRT, KISS) with motorization for each power car and options for DC/AC operation. N-gauge novelties such as the Küf III with digital coupler and Uagpps grain wagons in a variety of color schemes.

Technology & Compatibility: Liliput supplies models analog, digital or with sound; DCC standard is supported, AC variants with pickup shoe are available for AC model railroaders. The vehicles are NEM-compliant and compatible with common 2-rail track systems. In short: Liliput combines Austrian model-making tradition with current developments under Bachmann Europe – from H0e narrow gauge to modern multiple units in H0/N. Anyone looking for true-to-life detailing and a wide selection of prototypes will find what they're looking for here.
