Echos my own situation except I have a railway shed and in order to accommodate as much stuff as possible placed some garage type racking and in the middle are about kitchen unit height is the clear area where I have built my narrow gauge layout, I am quite interested by your Austrian style railway and I used to enjoy motorcycle touring in Bavaria and Austria also had a long time ago a week in Switzerland on public transport courtesy of Inter-rail just that few of us can do it all, just worried I am a bit neglecting the main oo railway too much!

Rothenburg ob der Tauber - I have walked all around the walls and explored every street, first went there on a 4 wheel railbus which had a vertical engine in the saloon and had a constant mesh gearbox, it towed a trailer, really primitive engineering made a DMU look sophisticated (or multiple torture units - as I call them)

Lovely place so I approve of the backscene

Look forward to seeing more.

The Germans make really nice model house kits and a good range too, shame they are a bit small at 1 in 87 rather than our 1 in 76, even so they are very nice and I like the Rathaus it looks quite splendid, so overall a nice effort.

Love it - may have inspired me to get back to Porlock and its Gas Works thanks to you and Roger.

Beg to differ more Rothenburg ob der Tauber than Nordlingen. I think a little of mu problems here, forget about the railway get on with the scenery

Unfortunately my Z21 does not get as far as the internet which even with a booster just gets as far as the shed and just inside if the door is open, so it has to stand alone, I must admit to not upgrading it for a few years anyway I dislike upgrading as it always slows down the system and uses up disc space, now my ipad tells me it is full up. grrrrrrr!

Wonder it it can run 2 ipads?

the branch line comes up the other side of the town had a 4 wheel railcar with an engine in the saloon and a 4 speed gearbox and it towed a small trailer, it comes from Steinach but I expect it has long been replaced

A Bietschattel Brucke will cover that span at 1.1 meters long but the end abutments are poor and the bridge floppy, I used Hornby platform edging and additional box section to beef it up a bit
