Faller Car System

[wwwdew]

I have just been introduced to the Faller Car System. WOW!! Recently I surfed
the internet and have viewed videos & pictures of  the Faller Car System.
Some of the sites included the Miniatur
Wunderland in Hamburg. Wow. Wish I could take a vacation to the spot.
Reading from different web sites I have found there are Car System options
including lights, DCC (I think wireless operations of some sort) allowing
each vehicle to use infer-red so they do not rear-end each other, etc. Even
logic in the chip to run freely around the road system taking different
routes each time around. Larger vehicles knowing they can only run on certain
"tracks". No semi tractor trailers in residential neighborhoods because the
streets are too narrow, etc.

I am wondering where I can find inventory of the Car System setup with lights,
turn signals, break lights etc like I have seen in video's? I am the type
person who needs to use out of the box items. I am unable to customize or add
parts. The trains I have are out of the box. I want to buy car system
vehicles with additional features and add to my train layout. DCC etc. Have
manufactures come up with a standard of features including DCC to operate the
layout? Since I do not speak German, I can only guess what is available out
of the box.

Any information would be helpful. I would like to build a new layout
incorporating both my train and the Car System.

Thanks.

It sounds nice...too bad it's only HO & N guage. Superstreets is still the only O size moving vehicle system.

David,

The Faller Car System is something I have not heard of before.  DCC is mainly for H.O. & N gauge trains.

If you are talking about things related to H.O. & N gauge you will do much better on the Model Railroad forum of this site.  Most people here are into S & O gauge and sometimes G gauge.

Hope this helps you!
