There's a few train freaks on this site that will devour this.

WOW, that's a lot more then just trains. Here's a link to the Miniatur-Wunderland Website.

& of all my travels in Germany, I never made it to Hamburg!

Love the car-wash!

It has been on my list of places to visit for several years now, but so far I have not made it to Germany...I need my son to get stationed there when he leave Okinawa so I can convince my wife to make that trip.

I should post some photos.....

I have 1500 feet of track in my back yard.

We even have snow plows, and use them in winter.

If any of you get Garden Railways, look at the feature story for August of this year.

Dave, better sharpen up the blades on those plows. Might need them this weekend

All I can say is ... Wow!

First and third Fridays, 2 PM until we quit (8 or 8:30), unless we have "issues", like last Friday when the tracks iced up so bad we couldn't throw the switches, so we quit at 7:30.

Those days we have all the stuff out, 5-20 guys running.....printed "waybills", trains have jobs to do, not just circling endlessly.

Dave, You have the neatest backyard. What a layout!

 

[MikeP]

If you don't, you should have one of those miniature wireless cameras that can mount in the cab and give you an engineer's eye view of the action. Saw one running with a laptop at a model show, certainly a uniquely different view that just watching from above.

What we do, is place a camcorder on a flatcar 3 cars back from the loco.

Gives a perspective of actually being on the train, and the speed.

We provided one of those videos to another website several years ago to give out with early membership renewals.

Lower end of the railroad (150' of 4% grade to get here) in better weather.

K-27 on the 27' long trestle.

K-27 pulling up the 4% grade at the passing siding.
