Since its early introduction, it was the company's intention to completely exploit this technology, and give its fans the opportunity to determine the direction of the trains in advance. The tough metal tracks with discreet cardboard sleepers was indication of Fleischmann's objective, and was the base for the perfected track line used in layouts today.
Fleischmann's primary objective was to harness this technology to give its customers control over the train's path, and the company's design embodied this goal. The use of durable metal tracks with hidden cardboard sleepers exemplified Fleischmann's vision, which has since been refined into the track systems used in modern model railroading.
