Loco cradle for Z gauge - The professional maintenance solution for your Z-gauge model railway
Our Z-gauge loco cradle, specially developed for Z-gauge model railway enthusiasts, offers optimal support for maintenance and repair work on their valuable Z-gauge models. With precise, compact dimensions of 114 mm wide, 35 mm high, and 240 mm long, this Z-gauge loco cradle is perfectly sized to safely accommodate and secure all common Z-gauge locomotives and wagons of the smallest Z-gauge (1:220).
Sophisticated functionality for Z-track precision work
The Z-gauge loco cradle has two specialized work areas that are perfectly suited to the tiny Z-gauge models:
- Vertical Z-gauge slot: 19.5 mm wide, 8 mm deep – enables secure upright positioning of Z-gauge locomotives and wagons. Ideal for the most delicate work on Z-gauge bogies, chassis, and tiny Z-gauge couplers.
- Innovative inclined area: With two precise legs (28 mm and 18 mm) offers optimal holding options for a wide variety of Z-gauge model railway components at different working angles
Z-gauge model railway experts know that highly specialized maintenance tools are absolutely essential for these extremely delicate and tiny Z-gauge models. Our Z-gauge loco cradle was designed precisely for this most demanding Z-gauge work and allows for stable support of the smallest Z-gauge vehicles while leaving both hands free for the most precise interventions on Z-gauge details.
Practical magnetic strip for the tiniest Z-track small parts
The integrated white magnetic strip is an absolutely essential feature for every Z-gauge model railroader. It securely holds microscopic Z-gauge screws, coupling springs, pickup shoes, and other easily lost Z-gauge small parts during maintenance work. The bright color of the strip provides optimal contrast and makes even the tiniest Z-gauge components instantly visible.
High quality Made in Germany for Z-track precision
Like all our products, the Z-gauge loco cradle is manufactured with German precision. The premium PU foam used offers an ideal combination of stability and protection for extremely delicate Z-gauge model railway components. Unlike makeshift solutions, our Z-gauge loco cradle protects the most delicate surfaces of your valuable Z-gauge models from scratches and other damage.
The foam construction is also antistatic, preventing electrostatic discharges that could damage the extremely sensitive electronics in modern Z-gauge digital locomotives.
Areas of application for Z-track models:
- Maintenance and care of Z-gauge locomotives and wagons
- Lubrication of Z-track gears
- Cleaning Z-track pantograph wheels
- Replacement of Z-track couplings
- Repair and adjustment of Z-gauge bogies
- Digital decoder installation in Z-gauge locomotives
- Precision soldering on Z-track details
The Z-gauge loco cradle is an absolutely essential tool for any ambitious Z-gauge model railway enthusiast who regularly performs maintenance work such as lubricating gears, cleaning pantograph wheels, or replacing couplers on their Z-gauge models. Specifically designed for the requirements of the smallest Z-gauge (1:220), it makes working with the tiniest details possible.

Which insert fits my box?
The first two letters of the item number tell you which box an insert fits. The three digits after them give the total height in mm, including the 10 mm foam base. Example: JV040A004 is 40 mm tall, of which 30 mm is usable.
| Code | Size | Fits |
|---|---|---|
| JV | 570 × 370 mm | 60 × 40 Eurobox, with levelling base KABA010 |
| EU | 560 × 360 mm | 60 × 40 Eurobox, no levelling base |
| IU | 370 × 270 mm | 40 × 30 Eurobox, with levelling base DEMENL010 |
| DD | 360 × 260 mm | 40 × 30 Eurobox, no levelling base |
| KN | 360 × 270 mm | 40 × 30 Eurobox (Zugliege), with DEMENL010 |
| DS | 550 × 345 mm | DSLB075 storage box |
| KQ | 600 × 420 mm | IKEA ALEX drawer |
Good to know
- Euroboxes have a rim about 10 mm high around the floor. JV and IU inserts sit on the levelling base. EU and DD inserts fit past the rim down to the floor, which gives you more height.
- We recommend lid foam for every box with a hinged lid: CFBA010S for 60 × 40, JDBA010S for 40 × 30.
- Side pads are only needed for inserts that are open at the sides, i.e. Zugliegen, PanoramaLiegen and 0 gauge inserts.
- Euroboxes from other makers usually fit. Please measure the inside carefully.
