Premium loco cradle for N gauge model railways - the professional maintenance solution

Designed specifically for N gauge, our loco cradle gives N gauge modellers ideal support when maintaining and servicing their valuable N gauge models. With exact dimensions of 130 mm width, 45 mm height and 240 mm length, this N gauge maintenance station is perfectly sized to hold all common N gauge (1:160) locomotives and wagons securely in place.

Intelligently designed for N gauge precision work

The N gauge loco cradle features two work areas designed specifically for N gauge:

  • Vertical N gauge slot: 20 mm wide, 14 mm deep - allows N gauge locomotives and wagons to be held securely upright, perfect for work on N gauge bogies, running gear and couplings
  • Well-thought-out angled work area: With two sides of different lengths (34 mm and 22 mm), it offers flexible holding options for a wide variety of N gauge model railway components at optimal working angles

Experienced N gauge modellers know that special maintenance aids are indispensable, especially for the extremely delicate N gauge models. Our N gauge loco cradle was developed precisely for these demanding N gauge tasks and holds N gauge vehicles firmly while leaving both hands free for precise work on N gauge details.

Practical magnetic strip for small N gauge parts

The integrated white magnetic strip is a valuable feature for every N gauge modeller. Tiny N gauge screws, coupling springs, current collectors and other easily lost small N gauge parts have a safe place here during maintenance work. The light colour of the strip ensures optimal contrast and makes even the smallest N gauge components instantly visible.

Outstanding quality from Germany for N gauge requirements

The N gauge loco cradle is manufactured with German precision. The high-quality polyurethane foam used offers an ideal combination of stability and protection for delicate N gauge model railway components. Unlike improvised solutions, our loco cradle, developed specifically for N gauge, protects the sensitive surfaces of your valuable N gauge models from damage.

The foam construction is also antistatic, preventing electrostatic discharges that could damage the sensitive electronics in modern N gauge digital locomotives.

Applications for N gauge models:

  • Maintenance and care of N gauge locomotives and wagons
  • Lubrication of N gauge gear parts
  • Cleaning of N gauge current collectors
  • Replacement of N gauge couplings
  • Installing digital decoders in N gauge locomotives
  • Detailing and refining N gauge models

This N gauge loco cradle is the indispensable tool for every dedicated N gauge model railway enthusiast who regularly carries out professional maintenance work on their N gauge models. Developed specifically for the requirements of N gauge (1:160), it makes working on delicate N gauge details child's play.

Discover the advantages of this N gauge loco cradle - for professional N gauge model railway maintenance at the highest level!

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.

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.

Die Kunden lobten diese Modelleisenbahn-Wartungsstation für Züge im Maßstab N und betonten die „hochwertige“ Konstruktion und den dichten Schaum, der die Modelle schützt. Der Magnetstreifen ist „sehr nützlich, um kleine Teile während der Wartung festzuhalten“, obwohl einige feststellten, dass die meisten Lokomotiventeile nicht magnetisch sind. Die Käufer schätzten das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.

I needed something for my steam locos

I needed something for my steam locos (Big Boy, Challenger, 4F4; Mikado, et al). It fit the challenger with and inch to spare. Now I'm either going to have to get a second one or the company can make a longer one to fit the Big Boy, the Cab Forward, and other larger ones.

It's a grate cradle and the magnetic strip is a great bonus. I haven't lost a screw since I received it and started using it to install my decoders on DC locos.

I recommend it and will be looking for the longer sized one in the future.

High quality maintenance cradle für Modelleisenbahnen Spur-N

Higher quality maintenance cradle than similar basic models für Modelleisenbahnen Spur-N. Magnetic strip insert is very useful for retaining small parts during maintenance of locomotives. Dense foam used is better for protecting the models while upturned or on their sides.

Good quality product that meets my requirements. Helpful tool to free up your hands when servicing locos. Magnetic strip useful too although most parts are non magnetic so my traditional small parts pot is used for very small items.

Recommended and good value too.
