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.

My favorite mailman just stopped by and had this for me:
I added the end piece of the Rosenheim peninsula:
This morning I've widened this peninsula:
I have widened the Breitenbach peninsula:
It sure feels good to be back!
Welcome back! I'm looking forward to seeing your new layout.
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".

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

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 …
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:
