THEMA: N LS models RZD cars 78027 78028 Innenbeleuchtung

Das ist aber nicht Spur N ;)

LS models RZD cars 78027 78028 are at N-Scale. Please see LSModels Catalogue.

I use Atlas Low profile C55 track. So, it seems that it's not European N layout

Also I discard Rapido coupling!

See there thack difference:

From the other hand:

Why EU N scale track (Peko, Trix, Roco, Fliischmann...) have extremely abnormally big dimensions of rail height, ties and tie spacing? It seems that it looks rather as HOe track, but not N scale at all !!! I attended USA and Germany, but not found that German real ties dimensions and spacing between them bigger than in Russian ones or as they are at USA. Why EU N-Scale track so Ugly? I m not a big railroad make-uper, but when i choose N-scale 5 years ago for beginning my hobby, EU track shocked me and i had been forced to choose Atlas C55. Atlas C55 precise N model of standart track used at Russia, USA, or even in Germany.

Dear Vadim,

yes thats looked very good. Very nice concept.

From where are these signals? I need also a few Russian Signals.

The track system. Yes, you're right. This is not very nice. But PECO Code 55 Is a good compromise. Or better: Do It Yourself Code 40...

Best regards

I use NAVESTIDLA chech ettching of USSR  N scale signals.
You can see it how to assemle there: https://fotki.yandex.ru/users/vadimav/album/175890/

As to Peko : They have very deep Code 80 crossing at turnouts, so passing narow finescale wheels may lead to crash. Ties and spacing are also very big.

Another Peco disadvantage - turnouts frogs and wing rail holders  must be isolated by cutting rais, in aim to make wing rail s,maller backlash (short circuit avoiding)

By the way, did you notice that there's an N scale model of a 2TE-116 now available in 3D print? (I have no affiliations to the designer, so pls. don't ask me what chassis to use...)

Greetings, Andreas

This  loco model  still under test. (as I read at this link)
Moreover, 3D print  do not achieve rigid and dependable body. In addition, all N scale locos for serious train work  operations must be manufactured from metall(Brass...) to have enough weight - pulling force.
