The KQMFQMA02 zig-zag foam mat turns an IKEA ALEX drawer into a flexibly divisible railway cabinet for Z scale locomotives, coaches and rail vehicles.

How does the zig-zag foam mat organise a Z scale collection?

The zig-zag foam mat uses a wave-shaped surface in which each valley between two ridges accepts one or more vehicles. Because the ridges run across the entire 600 mm width, vehicles of different lengths can be placed side by side and the division can be rearranged at any time. This makes it possible to sort the collection by gauge, epoch, railway company or vehicle type, and to keep complete train sets together in one drawer.

Why store Z scale models in an IKEA ALEX drawer instead of original boxes?

Storing Z scale models on the KQMFQMA02 foam mat is a space-saving alternative to keeping every vehicle in its individual original packaging. Inside the IKEA ALEX drawer, the models remain visible and immediately accessible, so locomotives and coaches can be taken out and put back without unpacking. The soft foam holds each vehicle in place and prevents models from shifting or rolling together when the drawer is opened and closed.

Which foam insert fits Z scale locomotives in an IKEA ALEX drawer?

The KQMFQMA02 zig-zag foam mat is made for wide IKEA ALEX drawers and stores Z scale locomotives, coaches, railcars and other rail vehicles. The mat measures 60 cm x 42 cm x 30 mm and contains 10 transverse foam ridges, each 600 mm long, so vehicles of different lengths can be arranged flexibly.

How do I protect Z scale model railway vehicles from scratches during storage?

The KQMFQMA02 zig-zag foam mat separates each Z scale vehicle with soft foam ridges, so models do not touch each other. This protects paintwork and delicate vehicle details and prevents the models from sliding around or rolling together inside the drawer.

Can the compartment layout of the zig-zag foam mat be changed later?

Yes. The KQMFQMA02 zig-zag foam mat offers a flexible division: because the 10 transverse ridges span the full 600 mm width, the spacing used for each vehicle can be adapted at any time to new rail vehicles and train formations, and sorted by gauge, epoch, railway company or vehicle type.

What material is the KQMFQMA02 foam mat made of?

The KQMFQMA02 zig-zag foam mat is made of high-quality, fine-pored foam that is chlorine-free and acid-free, and it is Made in Germany. The height from the base to the tip of the ridges is approximately 30 mm.
