Welcome to my website.
My aim is to produce a model of a West German Industrial City in the 1960s.
The period allows the use of both Deutsches Bundesbahn steam and diesel locomotives.
The layout is designed as a five track continuous oval, with the Hauptbahnhof and its approach tracks on one side and an eleven track storage yard on the other side (Capable of holding fourteen 1/87 scale prototype length trains, which will be run to a prototype timetable).
Most of the buildings use commercially available kits from Pola/Faller/Kibri which have been modified to make a close representation of the prototype buildings.
Track work is Peco code 100 streamline with added details by Weinert and laid on a cork bed with granite ballast.
Control is by Roco ASC 2000 electronic units which give very smooth running of my DC Locomotive fleet, which consists of products from all the major manufactures, as well as some kit built models.
Trains are made up as near to prototype formation as possible, using scale 1/87 Length models from all available manufactures, as well as the exquisite models by the German firm of Ade.
I still have much to do to finish the layout.
Please browse the website and return to see how the work is progressing.
