About the Book
A history of the German toymaker Hess. The Hess company has built toy trains for 80 of the 107 years of its existence. During this time, a great wealth of collectible material was created, which contrasts with a very limited supply on the market, and the absence of the company's early catalogues. This book therefore aims above all to make the diversity of Hess's production understandable from its history.
