RegioShuttle RS1
A compact regional railcar would work extremely well on small and medium-sized layouts. Numerous real operators and liveries could support an entire long-term model family.
TILLIG New Products 2027 – Which Models Would We Like to See?
Which locomotive is still missing in TT? Which railcar would finally make a typical regional train possible? Which H0 locomotive should also appear as an AC version? And which H0m or H0e narrow-gauge railway has been waiting far too long for the right model?
Important: no regular official TILLIG 2027 programme yet
As of August 2026, the ideas on this page are wishes,
not manufacturer announcements.
Before the New-Products Brochure Exists
Thinking Ahead Together About TILLIG New Products for 2027
The page TILLIG New Products 2027 | Model Wishes & Ideas follows a different approach from a normal new-products page. As long as TILLIG has not officially presented its 2027 programme, no vehicle on this page is presented as if it had already been confirmed.
Instead, the page asks a question that becomes especially interesting before every new model year: what is still missing? With TILLIG this is particularly interesting because the manufacturer combines several model railway worlds. TT gauge remains a major focus, supplemented by H0 vehicles, H0 ELITE track, the recently introduced H0 centre-contact programme and H0m and H0e narrow-gauge ranges.
A useful wish for 2027 therefore does not have to be the next large express locomotive. A small railcar, matching driving trailer, shunting locomotive, missing wagon type or turnout can sometimes add considerably more operating value to an existing model railway.
Which Model Ideas Provide Real Value on a Layout?
A strong wish model can be placed within a specific operating concept. A RegioShuttle could represent several private railway routes on small TT layouts. A modern shunting locomotive could animate industrial sidings and freight yards. A new narrow-gauge vehicle family could turn a few tracks into a complete branch railway. And a missing centre or driving trailer may be more useful to an existing train than another locomotive.
From a Spontaneous Idea to a Useful Model Proposal
A useful proposal should include more than a class number. Gauge, era, railway company, preferred livery and intended use all help to explain why the model matters. Technical equipment is equally relevant: decoder interface, cab lighting, separately switchable tail lights, sound preparation or provision for digital couplings.
The Clear Distinction
A wish model remains a wish until it becomes an officially announced new product.
Only when a current TILLIG or Modellbahnshop product page explicitly identifies a model as a New Product 2027 should it move into the official new-products area.

A Few Ideas to Get Started
Which Models Could Delight TILLIG Fans in 2027?
The following proposals are deliberately described as wish models. They are intended to start discussions and can be expanded, changed or rejected entirely. Select favourites and transfer them into the wish workshop further down the page.
Voith Gravita
A Gravita would be particularly interesting for modern freight yards, local freight workings and industrial sidings. DB and private-railway variants could support several layout concepts.
Voith Maxima
A heavy modern diesel locomotive would look impressive in front of long freight trains and could complement contemporary TT diesel traction.
Class 152
This freight electric locomotive has been part of the German railway scene for many years. DB Cargo variants and special liveries could be used for numerous modern freight trains.
Small ELNA Steam Locomotive
Not every new product has to be large. An ELNA locomotive could represent private railways, museum railways and compact branch lines with only a few matching coaches.
A Modern Interpretation of Class 89.60
A contemporary small tank locomotive would be ideal for shunting and branch-line operation. Compact locomotives often generate more practical operation than another large express locomotive.
More Centre-Contact Locomotives
Following the launch of TILLIG’s H0 centre-contact programme, an expansion in 2027 would be especially interesting. Existing H0 families could also be offered for three-rail layouts.
More Car-Transport Wagons
Car trains need several wagons from the same family. Different running numbers and designs could make long, credible block trains possible in TT or H0.
Modern Regional Multiple Unit
Two- or three-car regional trains are common on today’s railways. A new basic model with several operator variants could substantially expand modern TT operation.
More HSB Vehicles
Existing narrow-gauge models could be supplemented with further passenger, service and traction vehicles, allowing complete HSB train formations rather than isolated models.
New Saxon Narrow-Gauge Family
A new tooling family could support historical DR operation as well as present-day museum and tourist railways. Short trains would also work particularly well on small layouts.
Missing Driving and Supplementary Coaches
Sometimes the most important new product is not a locomotive. Matching driving, centre, restaurant or luggage coaches can finally turn an existing vehicle family into a complete train.
More Prototypical Turnouts
Slender turnouts, crossings and special track geometries can be at least as useful to layout builders as a vehicle. Prototypical track construction remains a core TILLIG theme.
More Lighting and Digital Functions
Cab lighting, separately switchable tail lights, modern interfaces and provision for digital couplings could also improve existing vehicle families.
Modern Engineering and Service Wagons
Engineering trains create a great deal of shunting operation. New ballast, flat, material and service wagons could enrich track-maintenance scenes in several eras.
None of These Suggestions Is an Official TILLIG 2027 Announcement
The list deliberately collects model wishes. Every class, wagon, track component and technical feature remains an idea until TILLIG officially announces a corresponding product.
Where Should TILLIG Continue Developing?
Wishes for TT, H0, H0m and H0e
A new-products programme does not need to treat every gauge equally. More important is whether a new design complements existing train families and can generate several useful variants over time.
| Gauge | Existing Strength | Possible Wish Direction for 2027 | Potential |
|---|---|---|---|
| TT | Vehicles, wagons, track and starter sets | New locomotive and railcar families | Many eras and operators within a limited layout area |
| H0 | Vehicles and H0 ELITE track | More complete train families | High detail and an extensive accessories market |
| H0 AC | Recently introduced centre-contact programme | Additional existing H0 models offered directly in AC | Access to established three-rail layouts |
| H0m | Metre-gauge and HSB subjects | Complete passenger and service-train families | Compact layouts with strong prototype recognition |
| H0e | 9 mm narrow-gauge models | Saxony, DR and museum-railway subjects | Short trains, tight radii and intensive shunting |

A New Product Is More Than a New Prototype
Which Technical Features Would We Like to See in 2027?
Modern Interfaces
Sufficient space for a decoder and loudspeaker makes later digital conversion easier. Analogue models should remain straightforward to upgrade.
More Switchable Lighting
Cab, engine-room and tail lights add operating value when they can be switched independently and sensibly.
Preparation for Digital Couplings
Shunting locomotives benefit especially when coupling functions are technically prepared instead of requiring extensive conversion work.
Analogue and Digital in Parallel
A well-equipped basic model plus higher-specification digital and sound versions allows each modeller to decide how much technology is required.
Your Wish Counts
Which TILLIG Model Would You Like to See in 2027?
Build your model wish like a small product specification. The page creates a prepared e-mail addressed to denis@korn.de. Nothing is sent automatically. The message opens in the visitor’s configured mail application and can be checked before being sent.
A Useful Wish Explains the Operating Need
“I need this model for this train” provides more useful information than simply “would be nice”. Mention the models you already own, the era of your layout and the reason why this particular vehicle, wagon or track component is missing.
When Wishes Become Real Products
Official TILLIG New Products 2027
No Official TILLIG 2027 New Products Detected Yet
As of August 2026, the regular TILLIG 2027 new-products programme has not yet been published. The finder below only transfers a product into this area if the current product page explicitly contains a 2027 new-product designation.
First Check What Already Exists
Current TILLIG Models as Inspiration for 2027
Good wishes often begin by looking at existing model families. Perhaps the locomotive already exists but the matching coach is missing. Perhaps an existing H0 locomotive does not yet have a centre-contact version, or a narrow-gauge train needs another vehicle type.
Current TILLIG product pages will be checked when this section approaches the viewport.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers About TILLIG New Products 2027
The most important distinction is between wish models and officially announced TILLIG products.
Have the TILLIG New Products for 2027 Already Been Published?
No. As of August 2026, no regular official TILLIG new-products programme for 2027 has been published. The model proposals on this page are therefore explicitly wish ideas.
Why Is There Already a 2027 Page?
The page allows model railway enthusiasts to collect and submit specific wishes before the programme is published. Once genuine 2027 products appear, the same page can also present the officially confirmed models separately.
Which Gauge Should Receive Particular Attention in 2027?
TT is TILLIG’s largest vehicle field. At the same time, H0, the newer H0 centre-contact programme and the H0m and H0e narrow-gauge ranges provide interesting opportunities for additional models.
Which Modern TT Railcar Would Be Interesting?
A RegioShuttle RS1 is one possible wish because many operators and liveries exist and the short railcar also works well on compact layouts. This is a suggestion, not a confirmed TILLIG product.
Which Modern Freight Locomotive Could Be Suggested?
Examples include the Voith Maxima, Gravita or a modern implementation of Class 152. These examples are explicitly wishes and not confirmed TILLIG new products.
What Could Happen with the H0 Centre-Contact Programme?
One useful wish would be for further existing TILLIG H0 vehicle families to be offered as factory-produced AC versions for centre-contact layouts.
Which Wishes Suit H0m and H0e?
H0m could benefit from additional HSB and metre-gauge vehicles. In H0e, further Saxon or 750/760 mm narrow-gauge models could form complete train families.
Can I Suggest a Wagon or a Track Component?
Yes. Locomotives are only one part of a model railway. Driving trailers, passenger and freight wagons, track, turnouts and technical improvements are expressly welcome as model wishes.
Where Is My Model Wish Sent?
The generated model wish opens as a prepared e-mail addressed to denis@korn.de. The visitor can review the message in their own mail application before sending it.
Will Genuine 2027 Products Be Detected Later?
The integrated finder checks current TILLIG product pages. A model should appear in the official 2027 section only if its current product page explicitly identifies it as a 2027 new product.
Are Archived Products Displayed?
No. Product pages containing a clear notice that an item is no longer offered are rejected by the live check.
Which TILLIG Model Is Really Missing from Your Railway?
Do not wait until the official new-products brochure has already appeared. Describe the vehicle, wagon, track component or technical feature you would genuinely use on your layout.
