Busch 12018 H0f Start-Set 'Parkbahn'

Busch 12018 H0f 'Park Railway' starter set: Your entry into the world of park railroads

The Busch 12018 H0f 'Park Railway' starter set offers model railroad enthusiasts the opportunity to create an authentic park railroad scenery in H0f scale (1:87). This set is inspired by the real park railroad in Chemnitz and includes everything you need to get started: a detailed locomotive, two visitor carriages, a complete track oval and a battery box with switch for the controls.

The Chemnitz park railroad: a historical role model

The Chemnitz park railroad is a popular attraction and has been offering passengers a unique experience for many years. The locomotive included in the set is based on the B 360 mine railway locomotive, built in 1985, which was originally used in the Hartenstein mining operation. After being taken out of service in 1994, it was donated to the Chemnitz Park Railway, where it is still in use today.
