It connects major alpine regions and is widely recognised as one of Switzerland’s most famous named trains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA basic set provides a practical way to recreate this service in HO scale. With locomotive, coaches, track and controller included, it allows modellers to begin running trains immediately while building towards a larger alpine-themed layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAssemble the supplied track sections on a flat surface and connect them using the integrated rail joiners. Attach the power supply to the track as instructed. Place the locomotive and coaches on the rails and use the controller to manage speed and direction. Keep rails and wheels clean for consistent electrical contact and check couplings before operation. Store the models in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TBC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41260568379548,"sku":"KA101145","price":229.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/9095\/3628\/products\/KA101145.jpg?v=1644444958","url":"https:\/\/www.harveynorman.lol\/products\/glacier-express-basic","provider":"Hobbyco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
