TT scale trains and models

Hi guys,

yesterday we (that means SpurM and myself, plus another friend who isn't onboard here) met a friend who owns a large layout situated on the border between the eastern and western part of Germany in the late 1980s. These dates take place around every month since late 2007.
Since I'm a modern railway fan I always make sure that I have modern rail vehicles available for service ;)
Here you find a few images taken yesterday.

SpurM's Siemens ER20, owned by NOB (NordOstseeBahn) (Kuehn 32050)


SpurM's class 185, owned by Connex (Kuehn 32210)


My GATX Silo car (Tillig 15498)


NOB-engineer and dispatcher talking about the next work steps for DE 2000-01.


My class 218, owned by DB Regio (Tillig 02701), with a short regional push-pull train (cars from Kuehn)

Very nice!!! I like the BR 218 Regio very much - I hope to have a set on my layout as well

Cool!

Very nice!

If someone is interested, I have more pictures.

Very nice pictures ! I'd love to see the rest ! any showing an overall view of the layout ?

Yes please.

The whole layout has a size of 4.5mtrs x 2.2mtrs (I guess) and is built in a room of 5m x 3m, so it's very tight. The layout is built with very steep hills and tight curves, mostly being in tunnels. Engines with unpowered leading wheels don't run very good on this layout. Due to the tight room it's virtually impossible to take a picture of the whole layout (and even the owner wouldn't be able to even draw an exact plan I guess ). Our friend built 7 station, all showing typical details of the real model.
Before I saw this layout the first time I thought it must be gigantic, showing these uncountable details. But it is, well, packed ;)

Ok, enough talking. Back to the pictures.

Bad Lauterberg

I love it! The little details all around really bring the scenes to life.

That's REALLY nice and the detail is absolutely outstanding. : )
