Product description

The unique all-glass front of the Glaskasten display cabinet offers you optimal visibility of your model train collection.

The GKO4 can accommodate almost 19 m of O-scale trains over 4 shelves. The GKO4 is an example of the modular Glaskasten system, as it consists of four GKO1 modules side-by-side without separation, so you can display trains of nearly 4.8 metres long.

Track and gauge

Shelf spacing is suitable for 1:43.5, 1:45 or 1:48 scale models, with enough height to extend pantographs.

Track is optional and can be standard gauge O (32 mm), narrow gauge Om (22 mm) or Oe (16.5 mm), this can be selected above. Glaskasten optionally supplies powered track on the cabinet with light, so that locomotive or wagon functions can be used (e.g. sound or light). In that case you can connect your own DCC command station to the display case.

Roller stand

An integrated roller stand is available to bring motion to your model train display case. The roller stand replaces the powered track over the full length of a module. One or more shelves of each module can be fitted with a roller stand. Each 1.2 metre roller stand shelf comes with 5 trolleys for 5 axles (0.6 metre roller stand shelves come with 3 trolleys), additional trolleys are available separately.

Integrated lighting option

The shelf profile shape is optimised for best lighting your model trains. In the display cabinet with integrated lighting, each train is individually illuminated through a diffusor, making your models stand out even better. Optionally a built-in dimmer is available so you can adjust the amount of light to your taste. The light switch and AC lead are located in the bottom right corner. The AC lead is white to fit with most interiors.

Design

Minimalistic design with metal construction and frameless tempered glass doors with soft-close hinges.

Glaskasten Modular System

The Glaskasten Module System is the only modular model train display system that can be extended in width and height without limits.

For large collections and long trains, multiple modules can be used side-by-side or above each other, forming one continuous display wall. Some standard combinations are available in our web shop, but there are so many sizes and combinations of options available that not everything is listed here.

Please note that delivery times may be longer for less common combinations of options.

Packaging and shipment

Depending on the destination, Glaskasten display cases are either shipped in a sturdy box, or in a wooden crate on a pallet. This, and the fact that we only use carriers that specialise in transporting valuable products, results in relatively high packaging and shipping cost, but unfortunately that is necessary to minimise the chance of damage.
