Model: This is a kit for an intricately laser-cut track bumper for shifted loads, for Märklin Z Track. The model is made of precisely cut architectural cardstock with modelling of the gusset plates.
The detail features for layout construction are small but fine and the dimensions are prototypical. 2 kits are included.
The kits can be cemented with commercially available wood glue (Bindan, Ponal, etc. in Germany. See your local hobby store or hardware store.)
Dimensions per track bumper: L x W x H approximately 17 mm / 11/16" x 16 mm / 5/8" x 20 mm / 3/4".

For example, on hump tracks despite all required safety precautions it often happens that loads slip or shift. At larger switching yards there are such correction track bumpers to reposition these loads. After the repositioning the load is fixed again in place, and it can then be safely transported.
