Thank you for showing the progress throughout the history of your layout... Didn't know that even our master modeler Usta had contributed... Also, great to see that the "bridge between friends" was a concept implemented from the beginning... Very nice to see that also friends are helping you with the layout, that is true friendship indeed... |

I really hate that :/ My take on this (having built 100s of models at different scales while plying my trade) is to favor abstraction when it comes to representing "reality" or "prototype". As scaled objects, model trains are already an abstraction. I can deal with scenery goop no problem, but gotta leave those tracks alone IMHO ;P Yum  |

Very nice Mehmet! I really like what you have put on display on the walls as well. Really makes the room complete. |

Hi Oliver, I am about to finish the whole displays in the other rooms until the end of 2011...so all the stuff will be displayed better.... By the way I have not forgotten my promise to you about how the layout digitalized.... But you see a wonderful visit to Stuttgart has kept me a little busy.... Cheers, mehmet |

....Hasan's Kid....Today I can still remember getting his first train set from Sawinsky's shop at Kurtschumacher Street in Frankfurt,which is closed now.... Now he and his father are deeply into trains...I think their mum is a bit angry with me...who knows she might be thinking I have poisoned them....   |

....when some anti marklin fans insisted that a loco could not do the same in inner tracks I had to proof again..... ...those days I did not have many Passenger Cars.... ps: today this loco has managed to pull 105 wagons alone...I do not know who else's record this might be...but for sure I share it....  |
