Visit us from May 22 to 25, 2026, at N-tram - The World of Small Railways on Fraueninsel in Lake Chiemsee - NOCH will be there! 

In a dreamlike setting, everything revolves around N gauge and detailed small-scale model building.

In the “Authentic Weathering” seminar, participants create a realistic model landscape featuring a long-unused track.

In addition, participants assemble and colour a Laser-Cut engine shed, add foliage to natural trees, and complete the landscape with ground cover, bushes, trees, figures and guard rails.

The seminar is suitable for beginners and experienced model builders alike; no prior knowledge is required. It starts at 9 a.m. and ends at around 6 p.m. A small snack during the break as well as non-alcoholic drinks are included.

In this seminar, participants will learn how to create a realistically detailed model landscape using NOCH products – even without prior experience. The foundation of the project is a 20x20 cm diorama base, on which participants will build their own landscape step by step. The process begins with shaping the ground using terrain structure paste to create a natural base. This is followed by the application of Water-Drops and Water-Drops easy to create realistic water surfaces and bring the scene to life.

Another highlight of the seminar is assembling a laser-cut woodland cabin, which adds a special touch to the diorama. The landscape is then vegetated with the Grass-Master, which ensures natural grass coverage. Finally, the diorama is decorated with trees, shrubs, tufts of grass, laser-cut plants, and figures, giving the scene a lively and authentic appearance.

The seminar is suitable for both beginners and experienced model makers and provides a simple introduction to model landscape creation. It runs from 5 p.m. to approximately 9 p.m., with a small snack and non-alcoholic beverages provided. As the number of participants is limited to 5, early registration is recommended. The cost is 99€ per participant, and there is an option to bring a companion for a small additional fee.

At the end of the seminar, participants can take home the diorama they created, allowing them to immediately apply the techniques they’ve learned to their own projects.

In the “Railway Embankment by the River” seminar, participants create a realistic model landscape featuring a railway embankment, river course and track layout. Step by step, they learn how to build a model landscape – from preparing the base area and constructing the bridge to installing rock pieces and designing the riverbed and the entire landscape.

The focus is on the realistic design of a railway embankment by the river. Participants create rock pieces using the NOCH Rock-Casting System, install them with modelling filler and then colour the rocks and landscape. In addition, tracks are laid, the rails are ballasted, water is designed using WaterDrops, and the landscape is electrostatically grassed with the Grass-Master. The seminar also includes adding foliage to natural trees, installing a pedestrian bridge and completing the scene with grass tufts, ground cover, bushes, trees, figures and a toadstool.

The seminar is suitable for beginners, experienced model railway enthusiasts and professionals alike; no prior knowledge is required. It starts at 9 a.m. and ends at around 6 p.m. As the number of participants is limited to 5 people, prior registration is required. The price is €299 per participant; when building as a pair, the second person pays only €20. The finished diorama and the casting moulds may be taken home afterwards.
