Wolpertinger Hauptbahnhof - Era VI Spur N 'Bavaria in Minature'

A short photo update showing the layout as it stands in December 2014. Many smaller details have been added recently, including populating the station and town with around 80 more passengers and pedestrians, lots more vehicles including a rather nice Rietze single-decker coach, plus numerous additional trees, planters and details such as litter bins  and bus stops etc.

Wolpertinger Hbf - N-gauge Era VI German model railway

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
