Lgb Tours

The idea and marketing value turned out to be so successful that for each tour a special souvenir wagon was produced. The success spread very quickly because each tour consisted of train enthusiasts with family and friends from all over the world. Many of the participants were in clubs or organizations that often met. The marketing idea was a win-w... in situation and the tours became very popular. The guidelines for the tours had to reflect the commitment to the LGB product. Quality and details were of first priority, and riding the trains that we play with at home was a must. Prototypes were easy to find and there was no better way to bring the hobby alive. In 1991, the first officially sponsored LGB tour was with the Cincinnati Garden Railway Club from the USA. The news spread by word of mouth very quickly throughout the USA as it was part of a larger organization nationwide, which was growing very quickly. At the same time, many international train organizations and clubs showed interest in the idea of combining a factory visit with a train tour. Requests to plan more tours and personal visits to the factory started the wheel turning. Since 1992, the official LGB magazines (English and German version) have sponsored the tours each year with articles and photographs of the highlights of the train tours. As of today there have been over 120 LGB tours organized with international train fans interested in traveling together. On each tour, wonderful creative ideas have been shared among enthusiasts while visiting private and commercial train layouts, riding and exploring train routes that only feed the imagination for your next layout or just new ideas to add to your existing railroad at home or business.
