Piet Brijs - Model railroad tour part five
The bridge
21-01-2010 BR 42 9000. 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 750.
Trees separate the various
parts in a natural way, hide, create depth and make atmosphere.
Most of the trees are from Busch, 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.
Coming from Bonn the class (BR) 10 with a passenger train just before the bridge.

More brigde with a class (BR) 52 and a class (BR) 53.
Under the brigde is a lake with a little beach. You can go for a swim and, if your lucky, take a sunbath. Fisherman are trying to catch some fish.
