Amazing what you can find when you search Google for 'Gleisplan' images! Layout's home page is at http://www.doerfner.de Certainly an awesome track plan - well for me it is! Room size is 7.1m x 4.1m Track is Marklin K Track in the visible areas, and C Track underneath. Here's a couple of pictures from it to whet your appetite!

Seems to be. According to the photos on the website the modeller starting building it in 2002. That's seven years of hard work.

I think it is a wellthought layout and scenery construction. It gives me the urge to go out there and see what can I do to improve it. Inspirational John

Among everything else that is lying around..... I'd love to see some more recent photos. I agree with your comments John. This would be the sort of layout I'd love to build given the space, time and money!

By the time you put some cars & trucks, trains onto the layout and I'm sure having put so much time into this layout more movements or objects will make it more lifely. John
