Märklin 8531 Z-Gleis καμπύλη ράγα R1 145 mm ακτίνα 15°

This curved track section from Märklin's Z Gauge system offers a tight 145 mm radius, making it ideal for compact layouts where space is at a premium. Unlike broader curves that demand large tables, the R1 geometry lets you build realistic branch lines and industrial spurs in minimal space.

Highlights

• Z Gauge (1:220 scale) curved track
• R1 radius: 145 mm, 15° arc per piece
• Nickel silver rails for reliable conductivity
• Black plastic roadbed with silver rails
• For ages 15 and up

In daily use

Each piece covers a 15° segment, so 24 sections form a full circle with a diameter of 290 mm. The nickel silver rail surface stays clean longer than brass and ensures smooth power pickup for small locomotives. The integrated plastic roadbed snaps together securely, keeping curves aligned even on temporary setups.
