4. Fleischmann N Fl 3-part set rack railway, private railway
Cogwheel railways radiate a unique fascination with their exceptional combination of mountain scenery and bold track layouts, featuring numerous bridges and tunnels. The movement of the train is facilitated by a cogwheel engaging with a rack rail located in the middle of the track, as the usual friction between wheel and rail is insufficient for the steep gradients. In cogwheel railways of the so-called mixed system, where friction sections alternate with rack sections depending on the incline, the pulling force is exerted by the same machine. In the Alps, there are particularly many private cogwheel railways that are very popular among tourists from all over the world.
