The term combines Klebe (adhesive) and Schiene (rail) and is applied in contexts ranging from model railroading to small-scale track installations.
Design and variants: A Klebeschiene can be a pre-fabricated rail with an adhesive backing or a system
Applications: In model railroading and diorama work, Klebeschienen are used to secure track quickly without the
Advantages and limitations: Benefits include reduced substrate damage, faster installation, and easier modifications. Limitations consist of
Installation notes: Surfaces should be clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Some systems require surface priming
