I didn't have much time today (work got in the way) so all I managed to do is add 3 short sidings to the Bad Adomeit station:

The Breitenbach - Rosenheim Railroad V3
I've been checking in every day to see what's new - hope this is just a brief lull.

Mike,
I'm sorry that I haven't posted anything lately but to be honest, right now I don't feel like model railroading at all. I haven't touched the layout in a week.
michaelrose55....right now I don't feel like model railroading at all.
Michael - all of us have been at that point at one time or another. Relax, sit back and take break - the drive to continue work on this grand layout will come back!

What Ulrich said!
When it stops being fun, do what you are doing - take a break! Nobody is going to criticize you for doing that!

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
It's kind of funny that five months after the end of the G&AM I received a new locomotive in the mail today. I pre-ordered this thing probably a year ago and forgot all about it. When the manufacturer sent me an email a few days ago asking whether I still wanted it I couldn't say 'no'. So here it is in all it's beauty:
Now I'm kind of tempted to go back to N scale and give this engine a nice home...
Too bad it's N scale. It would look real nice on my Union Pacific layout.

Michael,
the loco is a beauty and it sure needs to have a place to run. How about a small layout, not much more than an oval plus some staging tracks, but fully scenicked? May be a project to work on when you need a break from building your great Deutsche Bundesbahn layout....
Make your present layout dual gauge??
So after a break of a week or so I felt like doing something again... I went and bought enough plywood sheets to cover the rest of the bench work and I'm firing up the laser right now to make more roadbed.
Nice to see you back at it again, I missed your daily updates.

Everybody needs a break once in a while!
I started at the south end of the Bad Adomeit station and added roadbed. The main line disappears into a tunnel shortly after leaving Bad Adomeit so this will all be invisible track.
I made it around the corner and started to work on the last station - again no name yet.
Added more roadbed to the new station:
I'm back at work again:
I almost finished this station today. The locomotive service area is still missing, everything else is there.
I accidently stumbled over a model of the Swiss version of the Trans-Europ-Express. This model was made by ROCO in 2007/2008 and I found one in mint condition that I just had to have...
I just got an email from Reynauld's, they are shipping track today
What have you been using for track up till now?
SouthPenn What have you been using for track up till now?
Photoshop! He's been lying to us this entire time!

Very funny!
My turntable showed up in the mail. Now I can finish the station.
I have placed the turntable, roundhouse, and all the other service tracks. That means I'm done with the whole layout!
I've been busy cutting out all the remaining subroadbed. This is it, I'm done!
I went to Lowe's and bought more wood, then fired up the old table saw and started cutting supports:
Most of the Bad Adomeit station is up:
I've added risers to all of the Bad Adomeit station. Next is the ramp up to the last peninsula.
