[quote user="BRAKIE"]When I was station in Schweinfurt I would railfan near the Schweinfurt station and see a lot of trains and I recall seeing layouts in the various stations..IIRC you drop a mark into a slot and could watch the trains run[/quote] I am afraid those display layouts are long gone. Deutsche Bahn terminated the leases with the family business who built them and put them up for display. The reason? "Does not concur with the modern and dynamic image of today´s rail services" . Lots of folks miss those layout, but who in the world is the customer who´s wishes we should recognise? [quote user="BRAKIE"]I always like watching those diesel switchers with the side rods switch cars[/quote] While not extinct, they have been long replaced by modern Diesel switchers. Some of them were sold to privately owned railways or industries to serve inhouse networks, but they are a rare sight.
