The gauge 2 model railroad plants introduce themselves

Gauge 2 m (G): Sauerland segment layout + HilMa alternative junction

The core of the layout is a prototypical roll car layout that demonstrates the transfer of standard gauge freight cars to narrow gauge roll cars.

The motifs are based on the Plettenberg and Hohenlimburger Kleinbahn in the Sauerland region. This includes a small depot with a two-track wooden locomotive shed for the narrow-gauge traction units, behind which the new fiddleyard adjoins as a stabling facility for train compositions.

In addition, another station layout (Elsemühle station) with transfer facilities and some sidings is shown. There is also a sand drying shed and a storage shed of a railroad maintenance depot.

A special eye-catcher is the three-rail turnout with an additional threading out of the meter gauge. The turnouts installed within the elaborately designed road surfaces are designed as prototypical road turnouts.

In addition, the Sauerland segment layout is supplemented by a standard-gauge layout section called “Awanst HilMa” (HilMa alternate connection point), newly built by Gerhard Seelbach.

Track 2m (G): Kleintal Birkenmoor

The layout shown consists of two parts, part 1 is a part of the LGB Freunde Rhein/Sieg club, part 2 is a part of a layout of a club member from Neu-Ulm. The Kleintal layout is located in Phantasieland on the North Sea coast, in the immediate vicinity of the sea. A small interurban station in the village of Kleinbach on a meter-gauge narrow-gauge railroad forms the center of the layout. From Kleinbach you can reach a small railroad depot or the passenger and freight trains can reach the next village “Birkenmoor”. Here you reach a small, 2-track station on a partially electrified, meter-gauge narrow-gauge railroad with its surroundings. The station has a small locomotive station with a shed and a wagon ramp for loading standard-gauge freight wagons. Various sidings for goods handling are served around the station: a factory with its own wagon turntable and the rest of a field railway siding as well as a fall platform for ballast with a field railway siding. In addition, the station is connected to a freight port with a functioning loading crane. There is also a pier for a ferry at Birkenmoor, and typical narrow gauge freight and passenger trains as well as a small railcar run on the layout. Various locomotives are used for shunting in the Birkenmoor section of the layout. The entire layout is digitally controlled.
