As the snow melts, the turnout clears. Snow creates a special atmosphere on a garden railway, but around the turnout blades it can interfere with switching. Our video shows the EVO Turnout Heater (Art. 8444050) at work. Starting with a snow-covered turnout, the time-lapse footage reveals how the snow gradually melts in the heated area, bringing the turnout blades back into view. See the heating effect right where it…
The first shipments of the eMOTION 4FXW Coach Lighting Decoder (8152620) are now underway. Following the 4WLR Coach Lighting Control, this digitally controlled version expands our range for upgrading the lighting in LGB RhB express coaches. The 4FXW replaces the factory-installed analogue control unit and combines four individually controllable function outputs with an integrated power buffer. While the 4WLR uses a slide switch to turn the coach lighting on…
As dusk settles over the garden, illuminated passenger coaches really come into their own. Rows of seats, passengers and carefully arranged details become visible through the windows. Flickering lights caused by brief interruptions in power pickup can quickly spoil the effect. The eMOTION 4WLR Coach Lighting Control (8128010) was developed specifically to modernise the lighting in LGB RhB express coaches. It replaces the factory-installed analogue control unit, combining connections…

Regular attention to lubrication points, gearboxes and track connections lays the foundation for reliable operation and years of enjoyment from your models. Garden railway models can accumulate many hours of running….

Sorry, this entry is only available in German.
Sometimes, it’s the smallest details that make the biggest difference. A railbus travels reliably between a quiet branch-line station and the next village. While freight wagons are being shunted in the station yard, the railbus patiently waits at the platform. After a short dwell time, it pulls away smoothly, disappears around the bend, and returns a few minutes later. Automatically. Quietly. Reliably. It’s exactly these little scenes that bring…
