Loco Cradles – Maintain and Repair Locomotives Safely

With a Feldherr loco cradle you hold your locomotive securely in place while cleaning, oiling or fitting a decoder. The PU-foam maintenance cradle takes the model gently, leaving both hands free – for relaxed, safe work.

Which gauges?

Loco cradles are available for Z, N, TT and HO gauge as well as the large scales O, 1 and G. Every locomotive rests stably and non-slip.

• Premium cradles with a magnetic strip – hold metal models especially securely
• PU-foam cradles – a gentle, shape-stable rest
• For small to large scales – from Z, N, TT and HO to O, 1 and G

What is a maintenance cradle for?

Whether wheel cleaning, lubrication, coupling swaps or a digital conversion: the cradle holds the loco gently on its back or side while protecting paintwork and fine add-on parts.

Why Feldherr foam?

The fine-pored special foam is chlorine- and acid-free, age-resistant and UV-stable – so paintwork and fine add-on parts stay protected and your models remain in top condition for the long term. Custom-fit, precise and space-saving: store your collection more conveniently than in original packaging or improvised DIY solutions. Quality Made in Germany.
