Hello Michael, it looks very nice your scale train. I think you can post here also in english. Pleas tell us more from your project and the history. Regards Michael (i have the same name as you)
Ich brauche keinen Fahrschein, in meinen Zügen ist kein Kontrolleur!
The layout is in a 11'x13' room with dual main lines and a RhB/ÖBB mountain spur.
I am currently laying in a third rail on the mountain spur for running HOm Rhätische Bahn trains. I recently purchased from Union Modell Bahn the Bemo Allegra ABe 8/12 set with sound but it's in Customs right now in New York. I hope to get it in a week or so.
I started watching cab ride videos of the RhB and got hooked on narrow gauge. I hadn't planned this in the beginning of the layout, but now I want to model the RhB too.
There is also a five track staging yard that I recently added a couple of months ago:
if you want to run the RhB trains as well, it might be more realistic to locate your setup in Switzerland rather than Germany. German (DB) infrastructure won't be anywhere close to RhB trains in reality.
However, in Switzerland, trains run on the left side on dual track lines; different from Germany, where they normally run on the right track. So you might want to change direction on your dual track main lines (which in Switzerland's reality would all have an overhead wire for electric trains, no exceptions).
Just wondering, how come you're building a German/Swiss/Austrian model railroad in Illinois?
I lived in Germany for two years in the late '60's and loved the country and the trains. 11 Arizonastraße, Wiesbaden. Hainerburg housing area.
The dual main line is mostly for DB and ÖBB with the Swiss operating on the mountain line. The Re/420 is using the DB tracks though and is on the wrong side! I knew they operated on the left, but there is often another DB train on the same track.
I can run up to six trains at a time, but I usually limit it to three or four.
I finished about 2 meters of rock wall that the RhB track is located. I'm just waiting for the Sculptimold to dry before painting it with a grey wash to color the rock.
Yesterday I added a Faller Oberstdorf background. It really makes a difference.
Really nice pics and clips - well done so far. You're totally right, a fitting background always makes a different even if it shows only sky and clouds. Good luck for the next steps and please keep us informed.
I started test fitting Sommerfeldt RhB masts to be certain a standard gauge locomotive would fit under the wire. I still have not received my Bemo Allegra ABe 8/12 from US Customs.
