Hess Modellbahnen GmbH is a model railway specialist based in Toffen, Switzerland. The company’s shop offered a broad selection of model railway products, including vehicles, tracks and accessories for landscape construction. Its range catered to both analogue and digital model railway systems, with staff available to advise customers on their choices. The business presented itself as a place for enthusiasts to explore the world of model railways and find equipment for building and developing their layouts.

The shop is currently closed. Hess Modellbahnen says it expects to resume operations in summer 2030, when it plans to reopen as a model railway repair workshop. The company has not yet announced further details about the planned restart, but invites interested visitors to subscribe to its newsletter for updates. This future workshop would mark a shift from the shop’s previous focus on selling model railway vehicles, tracks and scenery-building accessories toward repair services. Until then, the website provides information about the closure and the anticipated return of Hess Modellbahnen.
