Part of the Rosenheim peninsula was too narrow so I had to add a 4" strip to make it wide enough:

There is something about those German prototypes - I guess because it's something we don't get to see every day around here. Don't know that I'd ever moodel that, but it sure is a nice change of scenery to see them once in a while.

In this area I had to cut out part of the background to make room for the return loop into Bad Adomeit:

It turns out that my background doesn't go low enough in this area of the layout so I have to extend it by about 6".

...I have promised my wife to stick to this layout until I retire. Nobody knows what will happen at that point.

 

Well, you'll finally have enough time to get something done.Smile

The Breitenbach - Rosenheim Railroad V3
Posted by michaelrose55 on Friday, August 3, 2018 7:28 PM

My wife (with the help of my good friend Rick) has talked me into building a German H0 layout again. I'm not entirely sure this is such a good idea but it looks like I don't have much of a choice laugh

So today I will start the 3rd version of the Breitenbach - Rosenheim Railroad. The plan I came up with uses the existing bench work, only I have to widen it here and there. I have no idea where this journey will lead me but I have promised my wife to stick to this layout until I retire. Nobody knows what will happen at that point.

The first thing I did today was widen the bench work along the west wall of the layout room. This area will become the small town of Bad Adomeit, named after a good old friend.

 

 

 

And here comes the track plan as it exists today:
