<p>I am not quite sure whether my layout, which is just leaving the planning stage, fulfills the criteria. It´s set in a different country, but not on a different continent (viewed from where I am living). My layout is set in Switzerland and is based on impressions of the narrow gauge lines that spawned those great, world-renowned trains like the "Glacier Express" from Chur to Zermatt and the "Bernina Express" from Chur to Tirano/Italy. Both routes are registered in the charter of the UNESCO World Heritage.</p> <p>[quote user="mlehman"]On the other hand, if money were no barrier, Swizterland might well be calling! Narrowgauge electrics, etc, along with spectacular scenary and engineering.[/quote]</p> <p>Mike - those nice BEMO locos and cars are not more expensive than the Blackstone Beauties. In Germany, there is a large second hand market for those Swiss locos and cars, but none for Blackstone´s creations. Even when bought new, Bemo seems to be a bargain when compared to Marklin and Roco, gieven the quality and the detail of the stock.</p> <p>So, if I were a rich man, my layout would be set on a different continent, a different country - in that far out and remote place called Colorado.</p>
