It's a German themed layout again!

The Breitenbach - Rosenheim Railroad

I'm about to start a second layout, a German themed layout in H0 that will fill the space next to the G&AM.

German HO adventure

After dismantling the N scale Georgetown & Allen Mountain Railroad I have started to build my new HO railroad. I have modeled in HO scale before but it has been many years so I will have to learn many new things and step into many new traps.

As I'm a native of Germany I chose to build a German layout. I built such a layout before during a 3 year stay in Germany from 2005 to 2008 and therefore have a lot of German rolling stock, track and accessories. I hope everybody here finds it interesting enough to have a look.

Georgetown & Allen Mountain Railroad: The End

The Georgetown & Allen Mountain Railroad has been dismantled. I've been fighting this decision for many, many weeks but in the end I had no real choice. N scale is becoming to small for me at my age and my wife told me from the beginning that it was foolish to try to fill that big new building with a N scale layout that had 10 towns and needed something like 500 to 600 buildings. So after a year or so of me being stubborn I came to agree with her.

I'm in the process of starting a new HO layout of which the first pictures will be available around Christmas time.

Georgetown & Allen Mountain Railroad: Barnesville

I'm deep into landscaping the Barnesville peninsula.

 

Georgetown & Allen Mountain Railroad: Barnesville

I have started to install roadbed on the Barnesville peninsula. Barnesville is the east end of the railroad. The town is named after my good friend Walter Barnes.

 

 

I'm embedding magnetic reed sensors in the roadbed in case I ever want to run some kind of automatic operation.
