Noch Guide family hobby model

Build a beautiful model railway layout together with the children in the circle of family. Isn't that a wonderful idea? The children will surely be excited to participate.

Even in the age of video games, model building is a hobby where children and teenagers can have a lot of fun and celebrate successes together with their friends, parents, or grandparents. Planning a model landscape together, selecting and purchasing the "ingredients" for their own little world, and building as a team are experiences that connect generations. This hobby is diverse and creative, promotes fine motor skills and imagination, and requires patience as well as planning and organizational skills. All of this makes the hobby of model landscape building a valuable educational activity.

But how do you best approach such a project? Our author, the well-known model builder Karl Gebele, along with his two grandsons Nico and Denis, has built an attractive layout measuring 1.90 x 1.00 meters. In the guide "Family Hobby Model Railway," the three of them demonstrate step by step the creation of this beautiful family project over 120 pages. It particularly addresses the question of where children can contribute most effectively to the construction of the layout and which tasks are better suited for adults.

At the back of the guide, you will find a parts list and track plans for setting up the layout with various track systems. This ensures that you can recreate the layout with the track system of your choice.
