Laggies Gleiswendel - The space-saving and stable method to change levels. A track helix is ??a spiral in which a train moves from one level to a lower or a higher level. The train therefore goes up or down in the track spiral. The track helix has the same slope at every point, so that even long trains can easily master large differences in height. When do I need a track helix? The possible uses are very diverse. Here are some examples: - To reach a lower or higher level. - To get to a shadow station below the facility. - To connect two systems of different heights. How is it ensured that the trains do not derail in the turns of the track spiral? The outer curves of the track helix are 3 mm high. This significantly improves driving safety and reduces rolling resistance. What variants of Laggie's track helix are there? Track helixes are available for the H0 and N gauges - precisely adapted to the special conditions of the individual railway brands. All track helices can be built either left or right. How can I bridge larger height differences with a track helix? A base circle is required for each track helix. This basic circle includes the entry into the Wendel and the exit from the Wendel. Any number of assembly circles can be placed on this base circle - depending on the height difference the train is to handle. The base circle: The base circle comprises 1 1/2 circles. The drive-over height and the entrance and exit are reached with a base circle. The development circle: The development circle comprises a full circle. Any number of assembly circles can be placed on a base circle. In this way, even the greatest differences in height can be easily mastered in the smallest of spaces. What is the Laggies track helix made of? The kit includes precisely milled road segments made of 4 mm thick plywood and cleverly matching stands and brackets.
The company was founded in 1911 as a plumbing business in Saxony and has survived two world wars and also the flight from nationalisation in the GDR during the last 100 years. Noch has been dealing with accessories for model railways for 75 years. Initially, the company traded in model railway articles on the side, and later established its own factory, which slowly but steadily developed into the company it is today. We have now been at home in Wangen im Allgäu for 50 years. It is still owner-managed in the 4th generation and currently employs over 80 people.
In the 100-year company and product history, you will find many technical innovations and products that revolutionised model landscaping. The best examples are the deep-drawn prefabricated terrain in 1961, the first electrostatically flocked grass mat in 1963, super-realistic hard foam portals from 1983 and the Grass Master, which has been providing perfect grassing for everyone since 2005. In its anniversary year, Noch also ventured into the field of modern technology and innovative production methods: The new laser-cut building models mark the turning point for modern building model construction. It is not surprising that decisive innovations in this field come from Noch of all companies: The first model buildings were handmade at Noch as early as 1949.
