new 13-08-2019: new pictures .


I made a movie of this section


For landscaping I use a wooden frame and aluminium wire mesh (1 * 1 cm). This is covered with paper and compound.
Step by step I changed my M track for K tracks. K tracks are more riable in a digital operation. I have only K tracks now.
In the visual part I use real gravel for track ballast (Busch).
The ground is painted and when I started, covered with te usual scatter materials. Later on I started to use fibre and covered the scattermaterial with the fibre in various colours. After I found out about the fleece mats of Heki I used thoose in various colours and lengths. Mixed with foliage and flocks from Heki, Busch, Woodlands and so on. More layers of material results in a not even surface, which looks much better.

I placed a lot of trees on the layout, over 850.
Trees separate the various parts in a natural way, hide, create depth and make atmosphere.
Most of the trees are from Busch, MBR, Heki, Noch, Viessmann and Faller.
Just before the station of Baden Baden the train goes over the brigde.
This section is placed in front of the door and is removable.
