Good Morning, it is just past 6 am at my neck of the woods. The forum is dead slow again. I won´t complain about it, but this sure ain´t funny any more. Chloe, darling, I need an extra strong coffee in an IV bag to get me started for the day, please. Barry - interesting picture. It is the Royal Bavarian State Railway Class S2/6 # 3201, which was built in 1906. It is a 4-4-4, with her drivers exceeding a diameter of 7 ft. Due to this, her pulling power was not what it was expected to be, so she never saw much of a regular service, although she set a nationwide speed record of 154 kph in 1907. She was put out of service in 1923 and is on display in the "Deutsches Museum" in Munich since then. <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/de/thumb/5/5b/Bayerische_S_2-6_(3201).jpg/800px-Bayerische_S_2-6_(3201).jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /> Engineer & Fireman of this beauty: <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/de/thumb/0/05/Bayerische_S_2-6_(Lokführer_und_Heizer).jpg/220px-Bayerische_S_2-6_(Lokführer_und_Heizer).jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /> Resting here since 88 years: <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/43/S_2_6_Verkehrsmuseum_Nuernberg_13032010.JPG/800px-S_2_6_Verkehrsmuseum_Nuernberg_13032010.JPG" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /> Ken - once the track has arrived, it´ll be just a good start, i.e. an oval of track. I plan to gradually extend that into a "real"  layout. I am using Kato Unitrack, as their rail joining system will act as connectors between the modules. Minimum radius is about 11". One of the ways the layout can be set up looks like this: <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/Layout2-1-1.jpg?t=1302063633" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /> This layout consists of  10modules, out of which 2 are bespoke modules, i.e. non-standard. An overview of the modules: <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/Modul-Track1-3.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /> TTFN
