Road Name History: As the market-leading train operating company, SJ links Sweden together, and opens the doors to Scandinavia's capitals: Stockholm, Copenhagen and Oslo. Thereby creating opportunities for people to live and work or study in different places and to travel in a convenient and sustainable manner. Some 160 years ago, SJ's very first train departed from Gothenburg Central Station. Today, we operate 1,200 daily departures from 284 stations — from Narvik in the North to Copenhagen in the South, and from Stockholm in the East to Oslo in the West. SJ is a limited liability company owned by the Swedish state and is tasked with operating profitable passenger rail services, both independently and on behalf of national and regional traffic authorities. SJ's own rail services are primarily long-distance, comprising high-speed and night-train services as well as regional rail services between major cities in Sweden and the Scandinavian capitals. Tendered services mainly comprise shorter rail journeys for commuting to work or school within one county or region. One such example is SJ's subsidiary, SJ Götalandståg, which is tasked with operating commuter and regional trains in Western Sweden. SJ is part of the solution for meeting Sweden's climate targets and all our trains in Sweden carry the Good Environmental Choice (Bra Miljöval) label.

Brand/Importer Information: Brawa Artur Braun Modellspielwarenfabrik GmbH & Co. was founded in 1948 by Artur Braun in Waiblingen, Germany, to distribute model trains from other toy makers; eventually they began to manufacture their own lighting accessories such as streetlights and signals. In 1963 they acquired the complete line of motorized trolleybus and ski lift models from Eheim. They also began to expand their own line to include scenery items, and by 1993 they'd added locomotives and rolling stock to their product range. This medium-sized business is today jointly managed by the second and third generations of the Braun family: Günter Braun, son of the founder, and his daughter Katrin Braun are the company's managing partners.
Brawa range covers HO, O and N scales. The N scale range is focused on European rolling-stock, German locomotives and accessories like signals, streetlights, clocks and telephone booths.

Here is how the company describes itself:
At BRAWA, continuity and sustainable thinking and action - as the particular strengths of a family business - have a double impact. Changes are carefully considered and strategic decisions taken on the basis of a long-term vision, thus enabling the company to respond quickly and deliberately to the demands of the market. In addition, cross-generation collaboration ensures a vibrant coexistence of tradition and innovation.
In short, our future course is set and all signals are pointing towards continuity and growth. Our presence at our site in Remshalden shows our commitment to this area and highlights the sustainable nature of our company's location in the region. Sustainability is, as it were, an intrinsic value of our family business.
