Like a real painting
Framed Layouts are created just like classic paintings, developing a playable railroad circuit placed inside a realistic landscape's composition, with a particular use of colours, materials and various elements to achive a pleasant and well balanced result.

Each Framed Layout has a story on its own. Made from an initial original idea, any single component is handcrafted with patience and, day by day, the entire composition takes shape. The many fine-details accurately placed make each layout unique like a real painting!

How does it works?
Well... a secret is a secret but, basically, each Framed Layout has a track circuit that allows your train to start from the station and to run on the center spot (here, a wooden trestle bridge, for example) and disappear in a tunnel... but, after a while, it magically reappears again on the same spot, before returning to the station. This apparently simple operation has a surprising effect on the viewer and give interest to the small railroad and to the whole layout. Just think it's even possible, on selected Framed Layouts, to run two trains at the same time, for an even added enjoyment!
Special light effects
Framed Layouts are designed to offer LED light effects of great visual impact. The main system provides an intensity/angle variable daylight, as to reproduce not only sunrise and sunset, but the direction of the sunlight during the day. At night, UV-LEDs will brighten a special moonlight on the whole landscape.
Control at your fingertips!
Each Framed Layout is provided with a special intuitive graphic user interface to be run on an Android device like any smartphone or tablet. The Bluetooth connection will allow you to control lots of operative functions and to read the system status in real time. This is very practical and allows you to play with your layout even while sitting on your favorite armchair!
