Modeling

The Association makes available to its members various miniature railway facilities, popularly known as “models”, in which they can run their own trains. We currently have the following, all adapted to operate in analog and digital systems.

One for the N staircase. One at H0 scale of alternating current, in combination with the H0m staircase, set in German landscapes, and in the lower central part, one of the folding type of G staircase (LGB) – One with 0 staircase, in where you can see the classic tin trains so longed for by many circulate. In the interior part of it there is another circuit, for staircase 0n30. Finally, one on H0 scale, this one with direct current, and with a Hispanic atmosphere. Included in it is a line for tram circulation, and a circuit for Faller’s Car-System cars.

Numerous books dedicated to this topic can also be consulted in the library, as well as a large number of catalogs from the main miniature model manufacturers, and activities related to railway modeling are periodically carried out.
