Model RailRoading in Germany.

The layout is "U" shaped with four levels. There is a schattenbahnhof  (hidden yard)
allowing many different trains to depart and arrive at the main station.

Railroad coming out of a tunnel beneath the village on Juergen's layout.

The passenger station on one side of the "U".

A coal train passes the engine terminal. Note the telephone wires on the cross arms mounted to the
retaining wall. A lot of detail on this layout.

The roundhouse and turntable.

The coaling station is protected by it's own defense train!

A Scheinen Buss departs the passenger terminal.

The condensing lok with train passes a small station on the outskirts of town.

I asked Jurgen for information about the layout and here's what he said.

I have built about 10 years on my layout.

The size:  4,5 m x 2,5 m
In the middle of the room there is a room-way of 2,5 m x o,9 m.
The layout has the form  of an U. Right and left it is o,8 m deep and in the back
its 1,5 m deep.

There are operating 16 trains, of this 16 trains there are 5 automaticly in
operation. Each one of this trains, you can change from the fiddle yards manuel
to the mainline track.

The layout is not digital, itīs konventionell.

I have istalled a power of ca. 1000W

The length of the mainline track is 53m, but you only can see 20m of it.
All tracks have 168m, in the visible part 62m.
 

See the following JPEG's for the track plan.
