The story of Au Pullman
Au Pullman opened in Paris in 1946 as a shop specialising in miniature trains. It sells railway models, layouts and equipment across brands and scales, and provides advice and technical support to private customers and businesses. The shop also designs and installs layouts, and maintains, repairs and adjusts model trains.
In 1997, Au Pullman became a Märklin-Trix-LGB Shop in Shop and was described as a longstanding Jouef distributor. In 2013, Frédéric Battut, a former customer, joined the company as a co-owner and commercial director. The business later modernised its website and developed mail order alongside its physical shop. Its commissioned work includes layouts for private and institutional clients, while its workshop services model trains with repairs and modifications such as added lighting and sound.
