The gauge 2 model railroad plants introduce themselves

Gauge 2m (G): North German lowlands with peat extraction

Three trains run on the oval in different directions, two of which automatically separate at the station. The peat extraction is supplied and disposed of by a Regner field railroad in shuttle operation as in the 60s/70s. In the depot, a steam locomotive shuttles from the engine shed to the coaling station and back. Almost all of the buildings are self-built, there is a fully equipped delicatessen and a station café in the station, a soccer pitch, a campsite and wild nature are also part of the complex.

Driving is done in digital mode.

Gauge 2m (G): Passion IIm

Passion IIm is a modular layout that represents an imaginary metric line and imaginary railroad companies. The rolling stock consists mostly of LGB models that have received new paint jobs. The weathering gives a realistic impression. The modular concept allows countless possibilities to adapt to the size of the room. Each module plant is so unique. The layout always has terminus stations and never runs the daylong its rounds. The single track connects a terminal station with a hidden reversing loop, which corresponds to a staging yard. Functional signaling controls the trains. The focus is on the countless shunting maneuvers, which are fascinating for the audience. The return of the steam engines is done with a turntable at the terminal stations. The rolling stock is equipped with Kadee couplers. In both stations presented, the remote-controlled uncoupling process using magnets is explained to the public.
