Noch - 53705 - Structure, Layout Kit - Railroad Structures

Specific Item Information: The floorspace of the 'Albula Railway' of at least 200 cm x 100 cm offers N-gauge fans a lot of room to implement a railway circuit with crossing rail traffic in 1:160 scale. The clever track plan offers the option to build a fiddle yard or a double-track bypass. A headshunt is provided in the goods yard. This small detail takes the railway modelling fun to a whole new level, because the locomotive of an incoming train can be hitched from the front to the rear and then pull the wagons out of the goods yard again – just like the original!

The very large station area is modelled on the track diagram of Bergün Station in Switzerland. With the Station 'Bergün', Engine Shed 'Bergün' and 'Brombenz Viaduct' kits that are available separately, particularly defining points of the Albula Railway can be perfectly reproduced in a model.

In the NOCH Guidebook Easy-Track 'Albula Railway', we have shown you step by step (in text and pictures) how the layout is built.

The route kit is not suitable for running with a raised pantograph and without contact wire. Due to the clearance height, raised pantographs must be supported and suspended at the track crossings. This is the only way to achieve the low percentage gradients. Outer dimensions of constructed routes: 199 cm x 99 cm, 13.9 cm high

Road Name History: Railroad structures include but are not limited to stations, depots, yard offices, interlocking towers and tanks. A train station, railway station, railroad station, or depot is a railway facility where trains regularly stop to load or unload passengers or freight.

It generally consists of at least one track-side platform and a station building (depot) providing such ancillary services as ticket sales and waiting rooms. If a station is on a single-track line, it often has a passing loop to facilitate traffic movements. The smallest stations are most often referred to as "stops" or, in some parts of the world, as "halts" (flag stops). Stations may be at ground level, underground, or elevated. Connections may be available to intersecting rail lines or other transport modes such as buses, trams or other rapid transit systems.
