Jouef - French model railroad tradition since 1944
The Jouef brand has stood for French model railroad art in the nominal size H0 for over 75 years. Founded in 1944 by Georges Huard in Champagnole, Jouef developed into one of the leading manufacturers of model railroads and accessories. Today, Jouef is part of the British Hornby Group and offers an extensive range of detailed models, particularly those based on French models.
History and development of Jouef
Originally founded as "Le Jouet Français", Jouef began producing model trains in the 1950s. The first models were mechanically operated, followed later by electric trains. In the 1960s, Jouef expanded its range to include car racing trains and in 1967 took over the German company Egger-Bahn to also offer narrow-gauge models. After several changes of ownership, Jouef was taken over by Hornby in 2004 and production was relocated to China.
