After parting company with my
long-time project 'Widnes Road', I have been able to concentrate my efforts on
completing my other longtermer; Wolpertinger Hbf. A far more manageable sized
layout, this is a European N-gauge (1:160) DCC layout set in the south-east of
Germany in the current DBAG era (Epoch VI).
The layout which consists of a seven
platform main station (Hauptbahnhof), loco servicing depot centred on a working
Fleischmann turntable and a small S-bahn stabling point. The layout features
extensive overhead catenary which is a mixture of Sommerfeldt and scratch
built.
I'm pleased to say, that it is now
finished, and has begun to be shown on the exhibition circuit. The first outing
was to the Mid Essex Model Railway Club's show at Shenfield, and went well.
Next up will be Chelmsford and District on the 18th October. An invite has also
been accepted for the Perth show next June.
The overall layout is just over six
feet in length by four feet deep (1.8m x 1.2m) including 9 road fiddle yard.
If anyone is interested in further
details, photos or track plan, please get in touch. I would also be interested
in exhibition invites: widnesroad@virginmedia.com
