Busch 12003 HO Scale Feldbahn Logging Train Starter Set

Busch item 12003 is an HO scale Feldbahn forest and logging train starter set that models the narrow-gauge lines once used to haul timber out of the woods. It features an LKM Ns 2f diesel locomotive in closed cab form, finished in dark green with a black chassis, coupled to a bogie stake wagon loaded with logs and a low-side wagon with a wooden body. Supplied as a complete ready-to-run system rather than a kit, it only needs batteries to start operating in a compact space.

The set 12003 provides a full track oval of 8 curved sections of 115 mm (4-1/2 in.) radius, one straight and one connector track each 133.2 mm (5-1/4 in.) long, plus a battery box with a forward/reverse/stop switch. The Feldbahn rails feature an integrated metal insert that raises the wheels' contact pressure for reliable pickup and strong, jerk-free running. The oval needs only about 14-3/4 x 9-13/16 in. (375 x 250 mm). Power comes from two 1.5 V AA batteries (not included) or a 3 V DC supply, giving long battery life.
