RTS Greenkeeper

RTS Greenkeeper Microrama Grassmaster

The RTS Greenkeeper is an electrostatic flocking device or static grass applicator like the Noch Grasmaster, Heki Flockstar or Peco Static Grass. It is used by modelers to train static fibers to make miniature herbs.

The RTS Greenkeeper is entirely made in Germany and distributed by Microrama. The Noch, Heki and Peco are all made in China. The Greenkeepers are available in four different voltages adapted to particular uses in modelling.

The following table, taken from the test carried out by "Modelbahnschule" No. 39, will help you to determine which device is best suited to your needs:

It can be seen from this table that the 15KV and 25KV models are reserved for Z and N scales. If to make the grass, the 15KV and 25KV are completely sufficient, to make trees in N or Z the acquisition of a 35 KV can be opportune. The 35KV is the universal device from the HO and the 55KV will be advised for the adapters of the big scales 0 or 1.
