Breitenbach and Rosenheim are names of real places in Germany, but if I understood Michael correctly, the towns on his layout will be completely freelanced.
I have rolling stock made by Fleischmann, Trix, Roco, Brawa, Piko, Liliput, Hobbytrain, and others. The names of the towns have a special meaning for us, Rosenheim is a play on our last name, Breitenbach is the name of a Bavarian village we once lived in (never had a train station though [:D]).
Any brands that dominate your roster?
I’m partial to Rosenheim. My grandparents are buried there.
The majority of my rolling stock is Roco and Piko.
I started laying track today:
I added some more track. That’s it for today!
Are the towns anywhere near the Black Forest? My only knowledge is i bought a cockcoo clock, always wanted one, made in the Black Forest.
As I’ve said before, the layout is freelanced and has no particular locale in Germany.
The real Rosenheim is in southern Bavaria, between Munich and Salzburg (Austria) and there fore quite a distance from the Black Forest.
There are two towns in Germany with the name Breitenbach, but both are not anywhere near the Black Forest.
Sorry!
I finished this parking spot for the next long train:
Another long train on the next track:
Train number 3 for today:
The next train in the staging yard:
I added the last parking spot that’s behind the backdrop:
Today’s first new train is a short freight:
The next train is a typical passenger train of the sixties:
I added another few feet of track so this nice passenger train has a place to park:
The next train is a short freight again, pulled by an electric class E 80 locomotive:
On the next track we have some across-the-border traffic, an Austrian express train:
The fourth and last new train for today is a German express train:
