Ibertren
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ibertren is a Spanish brand of model railway, based in Barcelona. It is specialized in models of the Spanish RENFE train engines and wagons.
Ibertren N scale models were quite popular in Spain in the 90s, tough as of 2007 it only sells HO models.

[edit] N series
Ibertren manufactured two series of N-scale models: 2N and 3N.
In the 3N series, a non-insulated DC three-rail system was used to power the engines. The 2N series, which were introduced later when 3N sales went down, used DC with negative current on one rail and positive on the other.

Ibertren also sold model train scenery, such as cars[1], people, and train stations.
[edit] History
In 1973[citation needed], Iberten launched its first model train engines, modeled after a green diesel SNCF 61006 shunter.
In 1992, Model Iber S.A., the company from Barcelona behind the Ibertren brand, was forced to shut down[2] due to financial problems.
In 2004, a company named "Ibertren Modelismo, S.L." (also from Barcelona) relaunched the brand, with a HO-only catalog[3].
