Why did they choose Rugen for a resort? I would think Lake Konstanz would be better.

Far be it from me to drift off into the weeds...  but for an "Island Resort"...Tahiti...Bali...  Howsomever... I have read that Rügen as a resort (as such) dates back to the early 1800s...go figure...  and had a sort of "multiple Personality" during the East-West situation, so any-who-way, it really was just a random find that jogged my memory of the Hotel/Volksbank Faller Items...  |

Oh, I agree Jimmy. Anyplace closer to the equator. I thought Sylt was more popular.

Well, I am back with another find. For Faller B-217 / 109217  in Kaub on Rhein via eisenbahnstiftung V 200 035 from the Hamm (Westf) P depot runs with an express train on the Right Rhine line through Kaub. A new Shell gas station is currently being built on Rheinuferstraße (B 42). This station is now obsolete; a snack bar has found its home in the building. (1958) Photo: Reinhold Palm p. s. also marketed by Atlas as 740-149 and 740-200 (even with "Pflegedienst" marking for US market) p. p. s. here is a link to what the Shell station in Kaub is now https://bennos-truck-stop.de/Edited by user 07 April 2025 14:05:47(UTC)
| Reason: added p. p. s. link |

That is mighty expensive for a very small building.
Under the current circumstances I will most certainly pass on it.

Tim I got this from LIppe for £29 as it came VAT free to the UK. However I did not think this was a great kit and there are better filling stations out there. I have built hundreds of Faller kits which are great and this is one of very few that I did not quite like on the layout. Everything these days is expensive but with Faller you get good quality and hours of fun building. |
Take care I like Marklin and will defend the worlds greatest model rail manufacturer. |
