The Fleischmann N "piccolo" track corresponds to the internationally standardized N gauge. The plastic-molded ballast bed, with its intricately engraved and color-contrasted imitation of wooden ties, as well as its fine representation of the gravel stones, makes the track look surprisingly realistic in the model railway layout. No tedious ballasting required. The full-profile rails are made from a high-quality nickel-silver alloy with ideal electrical conductivity even over long distances.
