goldfish Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Anyone using Merkur tinplate track may be interested to know that Merkur Trains are now manufactured by the TIOKA-IKARIA GROUP s.r.o. There is a smart new website which will eventually be in Czech, German and English, but currently only works in Czech. One welcome change is that if you try and contact them you actually get a response, even more welcome the response is in English. I have never heard of the TIOKA-KARIA GROUP, but according to Blik & Speelgoed, who are going to be the distributor for The Netherlands, and Google translate : "As of 2017, new tin train models Gauge 0 are produced by TIOKA IKARIA in the Czech Republic. Tioka was founded after the Second World War. The factory was nationalized in 1960. In 1968 the factory was renamed Chemoplast. Tioka Ikaria has far-reaching plans to develop a wide range of tinplate gauge 0." https://www.merkurtrain.cz/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
