Electric Train

Railway modeling — Railway modeling is the practice of collecting railway miniatures, and this hobby allows the "railway modeler" to build sceneries and design their own train compositions.

A child's job is to play, and the electric train as a "toy" should be seen as a distinctive product, since it allows children and young people to imagine and think in a rational, logical and intuitive way. It is also known that childhood is when a person receives the stimuli that shape them into a distinctive human being in the future.

Values — We are convinced that important human relationships such as "father and son", "grandfather and grandchildren", or "friends" are sustained and strengthened in simple and relaxed moments such as the practice of railway modeling.

How to Expand My Electric Train

Once you have acquired your first ELECTRIC TRAIN starter set and started living railway modeling, you should expand and grow your track layout.

For this, FRATESCHI provides "customized" expansion sets so that you don't waste time and you invest your resources in a balanced way. These are the HOBBY TRILHO sets, which form the A, B, C system.

Set "A" — ref. 6405

Set "B" — ref. 6406

Set "C" — ref. 6407

These track sets are the best alternative for beginners, and allow easy and practical expansion of your first layout.

You should always start with the STARTER SETS. The sets include all necessary material, except for the speed controllers, which must be purchased separately when needed.

You can choose the HOBBY TRILHO sets according to the dimensions and operating possibilities of the layout you want to build, and remember that you can do it step by step, expanding one set at a time.

Build Your Railway

FRATESCHI offers a series of buildings to assemble such as small houses, townhouses, bridges, cabins, etc. They are detailed pieces that will turn your layout into a real city.
