[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”561187″]N gauge: N-Club International<\/strong><\/p>\n

The model railroad layout from N-Club International shows a double-track main line with motifs from southern Germany, Switzerland and Great Britain (Stonehenge) – fed by an operational station for quick train changes.<\/p>\n

A single-track line branches off (the branch is a replica of “Zimmerschlag” near B\u00f6blingen) to “Kloster Blaubeuren”.<\/p>\n

The railroad line from Hausach to Freudenstadt main station largely follows the river<\/p>\n

Kinzig, which also lends its name to this route.
\nThe name <\/p>\n

“Black Forest transverse railroad” is used.<\/p>\n

The single-track branch line is not electrified and provides an interesting route with several tunnels and ramps.
\nIn addition to steam locomotives of the BR 38 and rail buses, the BR V100 with conversion coaches and the BR 627 were later at home on this line. <\/p>\n

Some of the most beautiful motifs between Hausach and Schenkenzell have been recreated on 21 modules.
\nThese include the Kinzig bridge before Schenkenzell, the ruins of Schenkenburg Castle, the old road underpass before Schenkenzell and Schenkenzell station as it was before 2004, with signal posts and a connection for loading gravel. <\/p>\n

The other motifs are not correctly modeled on a prototype, but show the situations that occur frequently on this railroad line, such as sawmills, Raiffeisen warehouses and excursion pubs.
\nA small forest festival has also been recreated. <\/p>\n

The first terminus is designed as a depot with engine shed, turntable and all the facilities required for a depot.
\nThe second end section is an open, non-designed end, also equipped with a turntable.
\nTo ensure safe operation between the end modules and the Schenkenzell station in between, an optical and acoustic display is installed in the respective control tables. <\/p>\n

A special backdrop was created to give the modules, which are only 30 cm wide, more depth and more options for photographers.<\/p>\n

The NTrak Swiss Division association is presenting an N-gauge layout with the theme of American railroads.
\nPopular themes are American harbors and rivers, cities and industry, deserts and canyons, prairies and agriculture. <\/p>\n

Long American freight trains run on their tracks.
\nThere is a lot of shunting activity on the local industrial tracks. <\/p>\n

The N-gauge layout shows a 2-track line with a branching branch line that runs over a small industrial estate.<\/p>\n

The focus is on the train depot with a turntable and a 10-stall engine shed.
\nThe model railroad layout with the turntable is controlled by computer.
\nAll 10 engine sheds can be opened and closed automatically.
\nThe trains are mainly era IV and V models. <\/p>\n

The layout is digitally controlled and managed via a Traincontroller timetable. All vehicles are equipped with sound, as well as interior lighting and other details. The great pride of the club are the modules with prototypical motifs of the east ramp of the Arlberg line. This impressively designed model shows the following sections of the legendary prototype: Schmidtobeltunnel & viaduct, Weinzierltunnel, Trisanna bridge with Wiesberg castle, Pians 3-track station with a length of 4.5 m, Engelwandtunnel & Engelwand bridge, Burgfried viaduct, Wolfsgruberbach viaduct. The entire facility has 2 stations (Braz and Pians) as well as the Hintergasse passing station. In total, more than 60m track length which shows in loving detail the single-track line with many details. The driving operation is mainly done with models of the \u00d6BB after prototype, but other models can also be seen on the layout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5080,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32,35],"class_list":["post-3171","specials","type-specials","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-model-railroad","category-topics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ima-friedrichshafen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/specials\/3171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ima-friedrichshafen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/specials"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ima-friedrichshafen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/specials"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ima-friedrichshafen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ima-friedrichshafen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3171"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/www.ima-friedrichshafen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/specials\/3171\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5128,"href":"https:\/\/www.ima-friedrichshafen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/specials\/3171\/revisions\/5128"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ima-friedrichshafen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5080"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ima-friedrichshafen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ima-friedrichshafen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
