- 2 set of bogie parts without the axles, only contact lamellas and intermediate gear are already assembled on the chassis (see pictures). 

- 2 magnetic long couplers,

- 2 hook couplers, long version.

Easy to install :

1. remove the shaft of the main gear to unassemble the bogie from the chassis,

About the Magnetiz® system:

The new Magnetiz® coupling is slim and discreet. It addresses the number one criticism of Z-scale equipment, namely its very noticeable and unsightly hook coupling. 

Its ultra-compact design reduces the spacing between carriages to a minimum for a more realistic look.

To achieve this, the new coupling developed by AZAR MODELS uses powerful neodymium micro-magnets, making the magnetic connection strong and reliable, with no risk of accidental uncoupling, even on large trains.

The new system also features an innovative clip fastening on the coupling box. The coupling can be easily removed when not in use by simply pulling on it, for example at the front of the locomotive. 

To remain slim and discreet, each piece of equipment is equipped with a magnet on the ‘north’ side and a magnet on the ‘south’ side. If you want to reverse a carriage in a train, simply reverse the north/south magnetic couplings using the clip system and you're done.

This clip also allows you to change the magnetic coupling for the old hook coupling, thus maintaining full compatibility with existing equipment.

The hook coupling is still supplied in the box of equipment produced by AZAR MODELS.
