A NOCH Easy-Track route-construction kit supplies the preformed track-bed sections, pillars, screws, a full-scale route plan and track plans for several track systems. The rails themselves are not automatically included with the route-construction kit.
The Easy-Track track sets shown here are separately assembled track packages. Each package contains the exact straights, curves, turnouts and track ends required for a particular layout plan and track system.
H0 offers both the Märklin centre-conductor systems and the two-rail systems from Trix, PIKO and Roco. The N-gauge layouts can be built using Fleischmann or Minitrix track. The roadbed, electrical system and geometry must therefore be selected before purchase.
An Easy-Track track package does not contain locomotives, coaches, wagons, buildings or landscaping materials. The corresponding NOCH route-construction kit also remains a separate product.
Do not mix track systems: Always purchase one complete package from the same track system for a layout plan. Märklin C-Track, Trix C-Track, PIKO A-Track and ROCO LINE sometimes use similar radii but differ in current distribution, connectors, roadbed and compensation geometry.

The H0 packages use a model track gauge of 16.5 millimetres. Märklin C-Track and K-Track use a stud-contact centre conductor. Trix C-Track, PIKO A-Track and ROCO LINE belong to the two-rail system.
Andreastal combines several height levels, long curves and a varied visible route through mountainous scenery.

View ProductNote about two product names: The shop titles of the Theisensee packages for Märklin C-Track and Trix C-Track include the wording “without roadbed”. The listed C-Track components nevertheless have an integrated ballast body as part of their system design.
N gauge uses a scale of 1:160 and a model track gauge of 9 millimetres. Mittelberg and the Albula Railway can be built using Fleischmann or Minitrix track.
Mittelberg is intended for model railway enthusiasts who want to create several route levels and varied operation within a compact base area.

View ProductFirst select the gauge and electrical system. Then decide whether an integrated roadbed or completely individual ballast treatment is more suitable for the project.
Click connection, integrated ballast body and stud-contact centre conductor for Märklin vehicles with pickup shoes.
For freely ballasted layouts using a centre conductor. The underlay, ballast colour and embankment are designed separately.
Mechanically similar to the C-Track concept but electrically designed with two isolated outer rails.
Track without a ballast body for individual roadbed, weathering and transitions into the surrounding scenery.
Fine 2.1-millimetre profile for individually ballasted routes and station tracks.
The Karlsberg version combines ROCO LINE geometry with a removable elastic roadbed body.
Track and ballast body form a stable unit which can be enhanced at the sides after assembly.
The track is laid on a separately selected underlay and then ballasted as required.
Extensive system of straights, radii and turnouts without a moulded ballast body.
Märklin C-Track and Trix C-Track are not electrically interchangeable. Märklin uses a stud-contact centre conductor. Trix C-Track is designed for two-rail operation using two isolated outer rails.
NOCH 53620 is an L-shaped H0 layout with a long prominent main-line route, a large station track, two shunting tracks and a prepared entrance to a possible hidden yard.
The package includes track plans for Märklin C-Track, Märklin K-Track, Trix C-Track, PIKO A-Track and ROCO LINE without roadbed. A complete preconfigured track package is not currently linked as a separate set product at Modellbahnshop.
The layout name alone is not sufficient. The gauge, electrical system, roadbed, vehicle radii and train lengths must all be compatible.
In addition to the minimum area, allow room for the layout edge, operation, wiring and maintenance access.
H0 provides larger models and more visible detail. N gauge permits long routes within a considerably smaller area.
Märklin C-Track and K-Track use a centre conductor. Trix, PIKO, Roco, Fleischmann and Minitrix use two-rail systems.
Integrated roadbed accelerates assembly. Track without roadbed permits more individual scenic treatment.
Every intended locomotive, coach and wagon must safely negotiate the tightest curve in the selected plan.
Assemble every route, turnout and gradient transition completely and test them using long vehicles.
Select Mittelberg in N gauge or Theisensee in H0.
Karlsberg combines continuous running with shunting possibilities.
Andreastal provides several levels and long visible curves.
Martinstadt and the Albula Railway provide the greatest number of operational locations.
Further guidance is available under Plan a Model Railway , in the Track Systems overview, in the Model Railway Calculators and in the Model Railway Gauge Comparison .
These answers help with package contents, track systems, space requirements and selection of the correct layout plan.
The overview contains 27 current track packages: 21 for H0 and six for N gauge. They cover six layout plans with preconfigured track combinations.
No. The route-construction kit contains track-bed sections, pillars, an assembly plan and track plans. The suitable track package is selected separately.
Mittelberg requires approximately 115 × 75 centimetres in N gauge. The smallest H0 layout is Theisensee at approximately 125 × 105 centimetres.
Märklin vehicles with pickup shoes require the Easy-Track packages for Märklin C-Track or Märklin K-Track.
Trix C-Track, PIKO A-Track and ROCO LINE are intended for H0 two-rail operation. The individual vehicle must also be suitable for the selected radius.
Track with roadbed already has a moulded ballast body. With track supplied without roadbed, the underlay, roadbed width and ballast colour are designed individually.
This is not recommended. Lengths, radii, connectors, installation height and electrical systems differ. Use one complete package from the same track system.
The route-construction kit contains track plans for five H0 systems. Modellbahnshop does not currently link a complete preconfigured track combination as a separate set product.
Yes. The operating method is determined by the controller or digital command station, vehicle decoders, turnout drives and wiring.
The Fleischmann Piccolo packages for Mittelberg and the Albula Railway have an integrated ballast body. Fleischmann track without roadbed and Minitrix track require a separate underlay.
Martinstadt has numerous turnouts and terminal tracks. In N gauge, the Albula Railway provides a large station, passing route and goods tracks.
No. The packages contain the relevant track components. The route-construction kit, terrain, bridges, buildings, vehicles and other accessories are selected separately.
Add the corresponding NOCH route-construction kit, bridges, tunnels, buildings, landscaping materials and preferred control system to the suitable track package.
