Mike at C&M Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Yes, there is someone out here, and I am waiting with anticipation to see what the Class 364 shunter is going to do next! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold D9020 Nimbus Posted December 2, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 2, 2018 The real Oberstdorf was described in some detail back in 1982 in issue 3 of Euromodel Rail Review. At that time at least, the station shunter was a class 333 kleinlok—it has been offered in the past in N gauge by Arnold. Also, there were no ÖBB trains there at that time.

It's more inspired by the real place rather than intended to be in any way accurate. Hence the bad. One of the reasons I chose to model overseas was that I can be blissfully ignorant of all my inaccuracies. Progress likely to be slow until Christmas hols. Thanks for the tip about the article.

Smallwonder Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 Of course Fensterbach may get priority as it's intended as a winter scene which will help to disguise the set track I am using up. Merry Christmas. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallwonder Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 Work has focussed on Fensterbach. I forgot how slow this can be when you're trying to make it look right. And then there's the issue of redoing parts to accomodate requests from youngsters. The goods shed (which looked over-scale anyway) has had to make way to allow space for the end of a ski run (yet to be started). 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMcKenzie Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I've found myself living in Germany for now, so I will be following this one with interest. You've picked a nice area to model. I'm guessing n gauge? All the best Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day I'd like to have something like the space you have and reflect the ECML near Edinburgh in the late 80s: HSTs, 37s and 47s on Speedlinks and 26s on MGRs. Keep up the good work.

DavidMcKenzie Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Yeah I am very lucky to have some good space in the cellar that's not being used for anything else. You look like you are making great use of the space you have there though. Have I understood the pictures correctly that the layout is going to be L shaped and run along one wall and under the window running on the window sill?

Smallwonder Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 Slow progress. Planning a snowscape is more complicated than I thought. Basic structure nearly done though. Pencil point control operational; cheap and functional. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To grab up a comment of Nimbus further up - the railway systems in Germany and Austria are fully compatible. Both (on the non hi speed lines) use the INDUSI system for signalling and also the voltage and frequency of the OHL supply and the profile are the same. So theoretically it could be that an Austrian loco goes up to Oberstdorf. But as the line to Oberstdorf is a branch line it can be excluded. On the German mainlines you will frequently find Austrian trains. Vecchio - made in Austria :-) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallwonder Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 Sunday engineering works as the line between Fensterbach and Bad Oberstdorf is ballasted before the train returns to Fensterbach where the ski slope is deserted. Hopefully snow fall next weekend and some fast growing trees. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidMcKenzie Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Great video. It looks like the layout is really taking shape . All the best, Dave 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallwonder Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 Work stalled for a while until I realised I wanted to see the trains more. I also quite unexpectedly stumbled upon a prototype. I abandoned the terminus, did some engineering works with the TV tunnel and changed the lift out section to a repositioned flap. Much to be done, but far better for watching the trains go by. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
