The Fleischmann N "piccolo" track conforms to the internationally standardized N gauge. The plastic-molded ballast bed, with its intricately engraved and color-contrasting imitation wooden sleepers, along with its fine representation of the gravel stones, makes the track in the model railway layout remarkably realistic. No tedious ballasting required. The full-profile rails are made from a high-quality nickel-silver alloy, offering excellent electrical conductivity even over long distances.
