The TT scale model railroad plants introduce themselves

TT gauge: track is double-tracked and has main line character

The club has chosen a spectator-friendly construction height of 1 meter for its installation. The depicted line is double-tracked and has main line character without a concrete prototype. An extensive stop and a small station currently complete the ensemble. A highlight is the layout group where on a depth of 70 cm and with a track length of up to 320 cm plenty of vehicles and cars can be presented in exemplary sets. Some of the track connections are made without switches using swing arms, and complete trains can roll out of their TrainSave tubes onto the layout. As a novelty, we offer our guests a branching side track that reflects the northern German character.

TT gauge: Unique loading technology!

A maneuver of the NVA is depicted on the TT gauge modular layout. The main focus is on the loading and unloading of self-propelled military vehicles onto railroad wagons.

Once the layout has been fully digitized, up to 7 trains and 13 military vehicles will be in operation. The highlight is the loading train for military technology. This is loaded with 4 tanks or trucks via a loading ramp. It then passes through a concealed loop and after a few shunting operations the vehicles return to the loading ramp and can be unloaded.

At the same time, the next vehicles are deployed from the barracks area and enliven the armored track.

Meanwhile, in another vehicle loop, a tanker supplies the other vehicles with fuel and the Robur LOs take care of the injured and provide refreshments.

The loading of the converted mobile miniature models on flat wagons in TT gauge, based on the Faller Car System, is unique in Germany as far as we know.

TT Gauge: Loading raw coal at Scheibe opencast mine

The TT layout “Raw Coal Loading Scheibe Opencast Mine” measures 5.50 m x 0.96 m and depicts the loading of lignite from the “Scheibe” opencast mine onto the mine railroad.
Two single-track lines in the same direction of travel KBS 134 Hoyerswerda – Cottbus, section Weißkollm – Spreewitz-Süd are integrated. The layout theme corresponds to the period around 1990. It is operated in analog mode and has a sequence control with relays and reed contacts.
All of the vehicles on the coal line were built from kits. A special feature is the blue lighted signals based on the model of the opencast mines in the GDR.
