Simple assembly
The assembly of the individual track elements is made easier and thus a safer positioning of the rail shack-
les is guaranteed, because of the guide catches on both faces of the track bed (Fig. 1). The rail shackle is
completely embedded in the guide catches; the danger of injury because of it is prevented to the greatest
extent through this.

A firm bed for the track
The unevenly attached reinforcement strips, which ensure a stable track frame on the one hand and also
contribute significantly to reducing noise, are noticeable in the foundation of the track bed. (Fig. 2). An
additional reduction in noise is achieved by putting on absorbent caps (Art. No.: 61181) onto the columns
distributed in the sub-base. These absorbent caps prevent the ballast frame lying directly on the plant
plate and consequently the transmission of potential resonances. The absorbent caps can be fixed with a
cyanoacrylate adhesive (fast adhesive) to hold them more effectively.

Covered spike holes, through which an attachment to the plant plate can take place, are provided at cer-
tain sleepers, to attach the individual track elements with the corresponding spikes (Art. No. : 10001). The
covered spike holes can be recognized by a marking on the upper side of the corresponding sleeper (see
Fig. 1). However, it is recommended to penetrate the thin cover with a spike through the guide provided
for the track spike (Fig. 2), to find them more easily. This will also make positioning the track spike easier.
The track spike should only be driven in until it is impossible for the track frame to shift. Spikes driven in
too far will lead to the bending of the sleeper and suspend the absorbing characteristics of the absorbent
caps.
