Allow me to introduce:
Welcome to the FELDBAHNFACTORY! My name is Arnoud Bongaards, and I started this adventure in 2022.
Using original documents, drawings and photos, I design laser-cut wooden construction kits of narrow gauge locomotives and wagons to be released under the name SPOORHOUT.
The true-to-life reproductions arise from a unique combination of in-depth expertise and a great passion for the charm and history of industrial narrow-gauge railways.
My mission with the FELDBAHNFACTORY is to keep this history alive by creating beautiful narrow gauge models in 1:10 scale for enthusiasts, modellers, museums and collectors alike.
At FELDBAHNFACTORY, we pride ourselves on our precision and craftsmanship. The models are lovingly designed and manufactured in collaboration with LASERCHEF. The birch wood gives the models a special look.
Besides hours of building fun, the SPOORHOUT models offer a great way to bring a piece of this almost forgotten industrial railway heritage into your home.
Besides a first series of locomotives, lorries and wagons type Orenstein & Koppel, Du Croo & Brauns and Spoorijzer, typical Decauville, Hudson and Slatequarry rolling stock will follow later.
Matching steam and motor locomotives are under development such as an O&K MONTANIA RL1A, among others.
Wish models and personal or business inscriptions are possible in consultation.
Feel free to ask for more information! Follow developments on this website or visit FELDBAHNFACTORY on Facebook and Instagram to follow the development of our collection of wooden kits!
At the FELDBAHNFACTORY, we are not just about making beautiful model kits; we also like to be an online platform for the exchange of knowledge and information.
Our visitors are invited to delve into the fascinating stories and techniques behind this period in industrial and railway history that has contributed so much to our social and economic progress.
Driven by a relentless passion for the charm, history and technology of narrow-gauge railways, Arnoud Bongaards, founder of the FELDBAHNFACTORY, has built up a large collection of narrow-gauge rolling stock, objects and a historical archive over the past three decades. The collection of MOËS locomotives and diesel engines brought together in recent years is unique in the world.
This collection is housed in the DECAUVILLE SPOORWEG MUSEUM
From this unique collection of objects and documents we draw the inspiration and knowledge for the designs of the SPOORHOUT models and gives depth and authenticity to each kit.
