LGB Distributors in Germany
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, December 19, 2004 5:38 PM
Does anyone know where I can get a list of LGB diributors in Germany, I have tried the LGB website but didn't get too far. Also does anyone know if their prices are any good.

Hi,
the prices here in Europe are usually higher than in the States, especially if you want to import, because of the very low USD-exchange rate.
But I can recommend my favorite Austrian dealer, Mrs. Hötzel, please look at http://www.lotuslok.at or 2 of well known german dealers www.gliffe.com or www.lokshop.de.
with best regards,
klaus

Ian,

Don't know if this is much help, but you can send them an email, write or call the Germany area. I went to www.lgb.com (the German site, not the US) then clicked on "LGB in Your Country" and selected Germany.

Ok Klaus i am not in US of A, i'm in good old Oz; and Rene i'll give that a try but i think i already have and all i got was the factory, whom i have been told wont sell to the public.

I will be living in Bremen for a while and hoped to buy some stuff whilst i was there and thought i might find an outlet in Bremen or possibly nearby Hamburg. Anyway Rene i'll give it another go thanks.

Well I have tried and am waiting for replies, I am finding it so hard to make any headway doing anything to do with Germany and its not just the language. I have found it so hard to work out flights from Bremen Airport and they are apparantly so exxy we have decided to go by train the ICE train no less; much easier to understanbd the timetables etc and nearly as quick, much cheaper.

In a word to hard to do and LGB leads the way.
