Georgeconna Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago (edited) Hi Folks, recently I sold off quite a bit of surplus Irish as it was just sitting there for ages and I wanted to run some trains hence Connafeld to keep the interest alive. From the funds I have just received a nice Roco freight set as a start. Works out at €33 a wagon. Good deal really and the detail on these is fantastic. The layout will be Prussian region of which I have zero idea of the how and whys of German railways, I know and small bit about the buildings so lots of learning here. I have an idea of the plan from looking at various German websites. Period will be1950's - last 60's and will most likely will have only 3 steam engines, possibly a Diesel shunter and the plan is to have little stock to fill this out. Famous last words....I know. Maybe looking @ 2 x ft scenic plus fiddle yard. Small Turntable or segment turntable at end Thinking of my last 2 layouts we have had Connaton and currently Connafeld... so what could I have here is a possible name? Connaburg, Connadorf, Connastein, Connafurt, Connabad The first exciting loco is due this week...... Anyone know what this is? Edited 1 hour ago by Georgeconna 3
Northroader Posted 33 minutes ago Posted 33 minutes ago (edited) You’re very welcome to come and visit my continental thread. Ideally I aim for pre WW1, but it does carry over. I do try to put useful links in, as much as I can, so there some very nifty German layouts tucked away in there for inspiration, plus some good video and photograph stuff. https://www.rmweb.co.uk/topic/151308-“beyond-dover”/ Just a guess “TW-schuppen” equals “treibwagen schuppen”, railcar shed.
