Kato

5-car motorized TGV train with engine and control car. Operating number 84 Dieppe.
On February 27, 1982, the first European high-speed rail line, from Paris to Lyon, was opened. The newly developed TGV high-speed trains were used, connecting the two cities at a speed of 260 km/h, and later, from 1983, at 270 km/h. The TGV Sud-Est was thus the fastest train in the world.
Both the trains and the track were gradually modernized, eventually allowing operating speeds of up to 300 km/h. The TGV Sud-Est trains remained in service for decades and became symbols of French engineering.

Model properties:
- New design
- Changes lights white/red, lighting can be switched off in double traction
- Digital interface NEM 651
- Operating condition mid-1980s with air-sprung bogies on the intermediate cars
- new electricity consumer
- Set 84 “Dieppe” and set 08 “Rouen” with corresponding lettering
- Double traction capable
- Limited edition

Minitrix

Concrete sleeper track is now standard across Europe – and this should also apply to model railways. N gauge will now receive concrete sleeper track with a NEM-compliant track profile in the flat Code 60 profile (previous tracks from Fleischmann and Minitrix were Code 80).
The Minitrix rail profile is based on the prototype UIC 60 profile and correctly implements Code 60 according to NEM standards. The tracks, with their grey concrete sleeper look, feature solid profile rails made of a special stainless alloy. The material and rail profile ensure reliable contact for power transmission to the wheels; the distance between the centers of two rails is 33.6 millimeters, as with most N gauge track systems.
Minitrix track is ideal for quickly setting up a layout on a table or floor. With six curve radii, flexible track, standard or slim turnouts and crossings, the Minitrix track system offers ideal conditions. The most important factor is careful track laying. Small irregularities, shavings left under the track, or deburred drill holes have a relatively greater impact in 1:160 scale than in larger scales. For trouble-free operation, it is recommended to mount the N-scale layout on a solid base, either on a board or frame. Minitrix track features solid profile rails made of a special stainless alloy. Together with the prototypical profile cross-section, this ensures unsurpassed contact reliability between wheel and rail.

The express steam locomotive 01 202 is a living piece of engineering history. It was built in 1936 by Henschel & Son in Kassel for the then German Reichsbahn. After the war, the locomotive became part of the German Federal Railway (Deutsche Bundesbahn) and was primarily used in southern Germany. Its last runs were based at the Hof depot, where it was often seen operating on the inclined plane. The 01 202 then arrived in Switzerland on October 2, 1975. There, Werner Bühlmann from Münsingen and a group of incurable optimists restored it to working order through their free time. Today, after more than 20 years of dedicated effort, the locomotive is considered the most beautiful operational example of the 01 series and is presented in impressively well-maintained condition. Since 1991, the Pacific 01 202 Association has been responsible for all aspects of the locomotive's maintenance and operation.
