A starter set includes all the parts required for
quick and easy entry into FALLER Car System.
Learn about the various methods for designing
roadways in this brochure, and installing a sim-
ple track will soon add maximum driving pleas-
ure. It doesn’t get simpler than this.
Motor and steering are the heart
Just as in real life the models have a motor,
steering, and rechargeable batteries in place of
a fuel tank. An on/off switch is located on the
vehicle’s underside. Once the motor voltage has
been switched on the cars will move independent-
ly, without external power supply. The batteries
are then recharged with the included charger. The
flexible front axle has a forward pointing slider
for targeted steering, the front of which features
a tip with a small yet effective permanent magnet.
Special contact wire & Street filler
The permanent magnet at the steering slider
allows the switched on vehicle to follow the track
of the contact drive wire embedded in the road-
way. After the wire has been installed in the
roadway the included filler is used to create smooth
surfaces on your roadways and close small gaps
between the roadway sections or unused predrill-
ings in the roadway elements. Painting the street
and adding decorations will create realistic road-
ways.
Cars, lorries and busses
FALLER offers an extensive assortment of vehicles
in track gauges H0 and N, and new items are
added every year. Of course experienced hobby-
ists also have the option to add and convert their
own vehicles.
Wear and spare parts
Car System vehicles consist of various wear and
tear parts that need to be replaced after a cer-
tain amount of usage like tires. Batteries also
can only be recharged a limited number of times.
Please visit our website www.faller.de for the
full range of Car System spare parts including
pictures and brief descriptions.
Custom traffic routeing
A second microswitch on the vehicle, the so-
called reed sensor, responds to magnets, allowing
a variety of custom traffic routeing. Stopping at
traffic lights, railroad crossings and stations for
example is implemented with the stop section,
an electric magnet embedded in the roadway.
When exposed to voltage it will generate an elec-
tromagnetic field which will switch off the vehi-
cle’s motor power with the built-in reed sensor.
Turns, on the other hand, are implemented with
a branch-off junction where an electric coil is
temporarily powered.
FALLER Car System – Definitely more movement
The functionality is quite simple, yet ingenious. With FALLER Car System cars will move
over the installed roadways as if controlled invisibly.
