BUSCH 12018 - Starter set »Parkbahn«

Contents: Locomotive with 2 visitor cars, tracks, and battery box with forward/reverse/stop switch (2 x 1.5 V LR6/AA batteries, not included). Includes a cut-out sheet with self-adhesive motifs for decorating the visitor cars (as an adventure train, city or park train, or Chemnitz Park Railway, etc.).

The functioning model is modeled after the Chemnitz Park Railway (www.parkeisenbahn-chemnitz.de). Originally, the locomotive (mine railway locomotive B 360, built in 1985) was used with the crew cars in the Hartenstein mining operation, the deepest mine in Europe at 1,500 meters. The "Technical Working Group of the Park Railway" received the train as a donation from the Wismut company after its decommissioning in 1994. The locomotive and carriages were refurbished for use in Chemnitz, where they are still in use today.

The park railway is a narrow-gauge railway and compatible with the Busch Feldbahn (H0f), meaning the same tracks and power supply can be used, and the locomotives and carriages of both systems can be coupled together.

A built-in magnet in the locomotive and an integrated metal insert in the field railway tracks increase the contact pressure on the rails. This ensures secure contact and high pulling power for smooth travel. The track oval has a space requirement of approximately 375 x 250 mm and consists of 8 curved tracks (radius 115 mm, 45 degrees), 1 straight track 133.2 mm, and 1 siding 133.2 mm. To operate the train, two 1.5 V LR6/AA batteries (not included) or a 3 V DC power supply are required. Since the locomotives consume minimal power, the batteries last a very long time.
