We are beyond excited to finally launch 3 very much anticipated and important new products to the Fx Track family: the P40 Switch Track, the R64P Curve Track, and the S1.6+S3.2 Straight Tracks!
Together, these new track elements finally allow L-Gauge train fans to build sophisticated and prototypical railway track configurations such as sidings, loops, yard ladders, and much more.
The products are all available for pre-order from our Shop or, for our EU customers, JB Spielwaren and soon our friends TechBrick in the UK.

What is the "LLTC"?
-LLTC stands for "Luxembourg L-Gauge Train Community" and was founded in autumn 2021 by Gilbert F, and Daniel D..
Only Luxembourg?
-No, even if we are starting from Luxembourg, everybody from the more or less nearer surroundings is welcome to join us who is interested in the topic of trains buil with bricks and wants to operate them together.
L-gauge and not LEGO?
-Exactly, L-gauge because we start from the gauge of the railway and not from the initial manufacturer. Mainly the material from this manufacturer is used, but when it comes to trains, it's hard to avoid looking around and stocking up in other areas (tracks, axles, electronics, ...).
The question of faith in the width of the train:
-We are open. No matter if 6-wide, 8-wide or anything in between, everybody is welcome!
Standards?
-Tracks on MILS are of course always welcome here, more to come soon in this forum 😉
So, that's it for now, if you have any questions, just let me know here. 🙂
