Welcome at AB-Modell
We are specialists in narrow gauge N-scale.
You are interested in narrow gauge? In scale N?! Are you sure? Something like that does not exist!
You may have heared something like this before - from friends, from your local hobby shop or on your last visit on a convention. But, narrow gauge in N-scale does exist! Come in and look.
In recent years, the entry of Kato, MDS and Pirata into the Swiss narrow-gauge model market has brought about a number of changes. Unfortunately these manufacturers produce the models in 1:150 scale and let them run on 9mm tracks. Where possible, we also offer vehicles that are converted to N-narrow gauge.
To get a quick overview, click on "Pricelist" in the left navigation tree and then select your desired topic from the list appearing in the right window, or simply scroll through our list from top to bottom.
Have much fun on our web-site.
Yours
AB-Modell -Team
Please excuse us, but we are so busy that we can no longer update all the English language pages. Please visit the German pages and use a translation machine if necessary. Thank you for your understanding.
Friends of 0-scale (1:45) please look here. Friends of N-scale standard gauge, please find all information on our Kato N-Nm and N-standard 9mm page.
