Z-Gauge Engine, No1"BR98 Glas Kasten"
| This is a reduced scale model, a true replica of the original (difference is smaller than 0.005 mm. We managed to make this the first model in the Z gauge world to have a motor inside. We have succeeded to maintain the performance expected from maerklin-Z, by passing through various development stages where we tried to protect the engine from weight balancing during various maneuvers, and from running out of power collection when passing the point), and where we also tried to maintain stability of functionality considering the fact that it is a small, light biaxial engine. Compared to the smallest railway model, maerklin, miniclub 88051 (the blue engine 81521 in the fan start set is of the same type), a 89 type tank with a total length of 45 mm, our device is only 32 mm (buffer to buffer),with a cabin length of 13.2 mm. The motor can have 11 grades for inclination, the design paying a lot of attention to the maintenance of all the pieces. |

(A1)As you can see in the in the animation picture, it works. There are three lights, and they are lit in the direction of movement. It also has a circuit of flicker prevention built in.
(A1)You can connect a maerklin-Z freight car on the frontal hook. We choose the hook system after considering the total form balance. If carefully operated, even the open rail 8587 could be used. At the same time, it may cause damage to the switching rail, but we are working on this problem now. We plan to use a stable electronic sensor to solve this issue.
(A1)We are thinking to offer the product at a price that can make the customer be satisfied with the product. We planned to start selling the product beginning of 2004, but weve met various problems that prevented us to produce large quantities. We apologize for the inconvenience we are causing, but we are urging you to check this web site periodically for news regarding such sale.
(A1)It is not decided yet.
