6 Roadway design

Custom roadway design

Please refer to the following chart for minimum

roadway widths:

Roadway widths (single-/two-lane)

H0 N

Straight areas 50 mm/100 mm 30 mm/60 mm

Curves at least 70 mm/140 mm 45 mm/90 mm

Upward and downward hills

When constructing upward or downward hills or

crests it’s important to round the roadway at the

respective transitions for vehicle control. Upward

hills should not be steeper than 12 % (120 mm

over 1000 mm roadway).

Once you know how the roadways should be rout-

ed you can start.

Sunken method

To integrate FALLER Car System into your existing design the so-called sunken method

may be right for you. Use the Groove Cutter (161669) to customise the routeing of the

contact wire and adapt the flow of traffic to local factors.

Preparation

Our recommendation: Use rigid foam sheets with

a wooden frame for the base frame and use

3 mm thick poplar plywood for streets and other

constructions. This is the maximum distance a

stopping section coil may be from the top of the

roadway. All functional elements can now be in-

stalled directly below the roadway. This will also

reduce the overall weight of your design.

Make the surface of the roadway as smooth as

possible and consider the turning radius of the

vehicle to be used in the width. Longer vehicles

require a wider road, especially for curves, than

cars. The minimum curve radius should therefore

not be less than 150 mm.

Cutting: The Groove Cutter (161669)

is ideal for installing the special con-

tact wire. This small machine features

a slitting cutter which is guided along

the marked path. Cutting the right

groove height and width allows for op-

timal contact wire installation.

Installing contact wire: Press the

contact wire into the groove with a

flat head screwdriver or joiner, ensu-

ring it is correctly seated in the

groove.

Planning: Mark the roadway by outli-

ning it on the plywood and perform a

test run to ensure the roadway is uni-

form. To do so lay out the wire, affix

it with an adhesive strip and test the

route with a vehicle.
