Faller - 212130 - Railroad Station - Railway Station

Specific Item Information: Fantastic highlight in the railway station area for N scale enthusiasts. This faithful reproduction of the »Green Station« built in Kerpen-Horrem in North Rhine-Westphalia is the first modern station in the N collection. That lighthouse project of DB Station&Service AG is the first station to be built to combine globally the three aspects environment, energy and climate. While the clear structure and the reserved tone of the slate building leave the trains the privilege of being the real stars, the large-area glazed facade and roof provide transparency and ideal daylight penetration for the travellers present in the central hall without any supporting pillar and its waiting area. The photo-voltaic installation making use of solar energy as well as the grassing of the roof surfaces of varying overhanging length round off that successful ecological model. Seats, modern lampposts and train destination indicators also form part of the kit. This building kit contains: 196 single parts in 8 colours, window parts, 1 paper mask, 1 decoration and 1 construction instruction. Dimensions: 242 x 107 x 60 mm

Model Information: Polystyrene structure kits. Some kits are unpainted while other kits are painted, but relatively easy to assemble.
