TRACY LYNCH looks at the 2021 highlights from Faller.
The start of a New Year means new items from Faller. Although a lot of Faller's items are focused towards the continental market there are some fun all-rounders this year, items that would look great on any layout.

Have you watched 'Grand Designs'? Big windows and modern buildings are all in right now. This Architect House reflects this building perfectly. The kit even comes with interior furnishing. Expected to be available April 2021.
This model is all about the world we live in right now, with internet ordering and click and collect stations popping up everywhere. You get two banks of lockers in the kit and they have a DHL logo, but it can be easily painted and modified to be a different company. There is even one (for a different company) on Ford Station platform next to our HQ. These are expected to be available June 2021.

Looking forward to sunnier times and holidays, this model would make a great start to building a mobile home or lodge camping site - you could go on to build it by a large boating lake. You get accessories with the kit including chairs, tables and parasols. These mobile homes are expected to be available April 2021.
The Model of the Month for March is definitely worth a look at if you are an N Scale modeller with an industrial layout and contains three buildings and a wall to complete a factory. Unsurprisingly, it is available in March 2021!
