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?

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.

Just a guess “TW-schuppen” equals “treibwagen schuppen”, railcar shed.
