Fleischmann 5570001 N 3er train set Zahnradbahn, Seehorn Bahn, Ep.III-IV, DC-digital

Fleischmann 5570001 N set of 3 cogwheel trains, Seehorn Railway, Ep. III-IV: Fascinating mountain railroad with digital control

The Fleischmann 5570001 N 3-train set of the "Seehorn Railway" takes model railroaders into the fascinating world of cogwheel railroads. These special railroads, which are particularly common in the Alps, overcome steep gradients by using a cogwheel system that engages in a central rack. The set consists of an electric cog railroad locomotive, reminiscent of the E 69, and two matching passenger cars for the "Seehorn Bahn", a fictitious private railroad from eras III-IV. With a length over buffers (LüP) of 228 mm and the ability to negotiate even extreme gradients, this set is an impressive addition to any N-gauge model railway layout.

Cog railroads offer a unique combination of challenging routes, spectacular scenery and a feat of engineering. This model brings the charm and functionality of these railroads to the home model railway layout, and the digital control system enables precise and realistic operation.

Prototype: Cogwheel railroads in the Alps

Cogwheel railroads play a special role in mountainous regions, as they negotiate steep sections of track that are inaccessible to conventional railroads. The so-called "mixed system" allows trains to alternate between normal rails and rack-and-pinion sections, so that the trains can run like conventional railroads on the flatter sections and use the rack-and-pinion to provide the necessary traction on steep ascents. Such railroads are particularly popular in tourist areas such as the Alps.

The Seehorn Railway, a fictitious prototype of this model, could be such a tourist attraction, taking guests from all over the world to impressive mountain landscapes and panoramas. The model reflects the technical sophistication and special charm of these railroads, which are used for both passenger and freight transportation.

Fleischmann: Precision and innovation for rack railways

The Fleischmann 5570001 rack railroad train set is a true-to-scale replica of these special railroads. The locomotive is equipped with a bell-shaped armature motor and its two driven axles provide powerful performance, especially on rack and pinion tracks. The model is specially designed for the Fleischmann rack and pinion track 9119 and can climb gradients of up to 25 %, making it a highlight on any N-gauge layout.

The locomotive has a red LED tail light that can be switched off and a 3 headlight that changes depending on the direction of travel, which provides additional authenticity in operation. The train set can be controlled digitally and is equipped with an NEM 651 digital decoder for precise control. The NEM 651 interface with plug-in device also facilitates retrofitting and maintenance.

Technical details of the Fleischmann 5570001 N 3 train set rack railway

The Fleischmann 5570001 train set consists of a rack railroad locomotive and two passenger carriages of the "Seehorn Railway". The locomotive is specially designed for rack and pinion tracks and has a high tractive power to run safely even on steep sections. The bell-type armature motor ensures smooth and powerful running, while the two powered axles with a flywheel mass provide additional stability.

The LED headlights and the tail light that can be switched off lend the model additional realism. The model can also be operated without rack and pinion tracks and thus offers flexible application possibilities. The couplings are designed in accordance with NEM 355 and the locomotive has a digital interface that enables it to be used on modern digital model railway layouts.
