"HO HO HO! MERRY CHRISTMAS!" Whether you are new to Z-scale or a seasoned veteran, this is a layout which will surely bring the joy of Christmas to your home for years to come! Imagine the look on the kids or grand-kids faces when they see this layout in full operation! WOW! That is one of the truly great American traditions--the family train set at Christmas time! There would be no better way to continue that tradition when you are running Noch's "Advent-Wreath" Winterzauber Layout!
NOTE: This layout was featured in the December 2006 issue of MRN (Model Railroad News). z.scale.hobo was selected by Noch as
their most reliable source for this layout in the USA.
Keep on reading and "OOHing" and "AHHing," as this layout comes packed with special features
and it is READY TO RUN (with your transformer)!
FRONT VIEW
The Winterzauber is definitely the cutest small-sized Z-scale layout made by Noch (diameter of 13.75"). This is perfect for the starter, as it is ready to run, or a veteran who is tired of maintaining those HUGE layouts. Imagine, you could just bring this out in October and run a theme set for the season! Then store it for next Christmas. Or, if you really enjoy the winter scene, you could have the spirit of the season year-round in your home!
The rear view below shows the bridge and creek detail. The creek flows into a lagoon which is situated near the center of the town.
REAR VIEW
This charmingly landscaped layout is constructed of Noch's structural hard foam, hand created and shaped. There is even rock facing including a gorge in the middle of town. The detail is truly amazing!
Snow has frosted the landscape covering houses, trees, and the train station!
A ready-to-run layout by Noch means NO effort required on your part--just add a transformer and trains and you are ready to RUN!
No need to buy buildings, as this layout already includes 5 buildings: a train station, church, and three winter chalets.
No need to wire lighting to the buildings�it is already done and bulbs are already installed.
No need to buy trees, the layout is already well covered with nearly two dozen fir and oak trees.
Here is the topper�In the center of the town: EVEN THE CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTS UP! Making this a true Christmas winter wonderland!
With the lights burning bright the layout looks its best at nighttime and is sure to impress even Santa Claus when he glides down the chimney.
For celebrants of Advent, there are 4 Christmas-tree-shaped candles located at the four corners of the layout representing the 4 Sundays of Advent. Thus, making this a true Advent wreath.
