NORSK
VERSJON

In January 2001 the Zmod standard was created in Norway and it is based on
the following main rules:

Technical measurements:

The module box:
The modules are build in 6mm plywood, width 40cm, height 10cm. Recommended length: 100cm.
Recommended height rail top on module: 127cm.

Laying the track:
The modules have a double track with distance 2.5cm centerline on both tracks. The centerline between the tracks is placed 10 cm from the front edge. The tracks are placed on 3mm roadbed.
Module height is then 10,6cm
( 10cm.module + 3mm cork + 3mm track )

Between the modules, the tracks should be mounted with 0.5mm gap, so the gap on the rails between modules will be approx. 1 mm.

Curve modules may use the smallest radius 195mm, track type 8520. The smallest radius, track 8510, 145mm is not used.

Module types:
There are no specific demands to mesuments and type of modules.
Actual modules may be straight, curved or end module.

The optional back wall is 30cm high and do not need to be installed.

Electrical connections:
The modules are connected together with 4 mm labplugs ("banastikker"), the same as for the FREMO standard.
