About Noch...

The company NOCH was founded 1911 in Glauchau (Saxon) by Oswald Noch, the great-grandfather of the current Managing Director. The family concern that has been managed by the owners over generations has advanced together with the employees to a specialist in model landscaping. The NOCH logo including the words "...wie im Original" obliges to manufacture realistic, life-like products...like the original prototypes in nature. The NOCH team is still striving to make the fascinating model landscaping hobby easily approachable for every modeller.
Every year the team try to improve the applications and to develop new, innovative products for the most beautiful hobby of the world.

Terrain Structuring

At the beginning of each modelling project there is the sturdy base. The landscape is the heart and also the face of a model railway layout. Therefore the construction of a landscape substructure is one of the most important and demanding tasks when creating a model landscape. Whether you wish to realize your own ideas or to replicate an original landscape, you need not only fantasy, leisure and dexterity but above all the proper material for a sturdy base construction. For this purpose NOCH offers you a wide range of terrain structuring products: the TERRA-FORM terrain structuring system, crepe paper, wire mesh paper, aluminium wire mesh, paster cloch, rock compound and modelling compound.

Bridges and Viaducts

Real artworks in miniature made of "steel-carton"! Every model railroader knows: It is the details that are fascinating. Sometimes it is quite easy to provide eyecatchers for a model railway layout or diorama - for example with the laser-cut kits form NOCH. The delicate rivets of the steel construction are engraved by laser. This technology gives the special laser carton - being imported from England especially for you - a natural patina. NOCH bridges increase the attractivity of each model landscape. Our range includes four different types of bridges: fascinating, finely detailed laser-cut bridges (kits), ready-to-use stone bridges made of exrremely sturdy, realistic looking hardfoam, kits of modern pylon bridges with wooden routes and plastic piers and classic steel bridge kits made of plastic.

Portals, Walls and Arcades

Well planned and complex tunnels running through rocky mountains give a model landscape that "certain something". NOCH portals, walls and arcades - realistic like the original thing. Whether at a large city station or a switch yard, an express train line or a secondary line: Matching walls, arcades and portals characterize the apprearance of a railway landscape - in real life as well as on a model layout. NOCH offers an incomparable wide assortment of different materials: NOCH structural hard foam, laser-cut, CONSTRU-flex, 3D structured textures, embossed carton or inexpensive plastic.

Laser-Cut - The Future of Model Building

In the past few years, the Laser-Cut technology has found its way to all areas of model building. The most striking changes can be noticed with model buildings. Originally they were manufactured of only plastic, however nowadays – thanks to Laser-Cut – they are made of a special cardboard. NOCH uses an age-resistant laser cardboard being certified according to DIN norm. The innovative 45° angle cut makes assembly very easy. All buildings of the Laser-Cut series are entirely handpainted resulting in a very realistic appearance. But not only the product features do inspire: Cardboard is a renewable resource and during the laser cutting process the required energy is applied with utmost precision and efficiency. For this reason the NOCH Laser-Cut buildings show the road to the future also with regard to environmental sustainability.

The result is the NOCH Laser-Cut System. »Plus«, because it goes one step further eliminating previous weak points applying innovative solutions. The 45° angle cut is one of the technical achievements.
