What is CarMotion?

As in reality, you are now able to control road vehicles electronically also in the model. After a development period of more than 4 years, it is now possible to bring the streets of the layout to life in a user-friendly way and with realistic driving behaviour, even away from the track. In all this, our vehicles are compatible with other road systems with steel or magnetic tape guidance and electromagnetic stop coils.

Look forward to a new way of setting vehicles into motion – Technology and price – simply ingenious!
