We are currently in the advanced stage of planning a new HO layout to
be named Hünfelden which takes its inspiration from the Lahn valley in
Germany. The Lahn flows into the Rhine near Koblenz, the area enjoying
both varied rail operations and superb scenery, both of which we hope to
recreate in the model.
The layout is essentially a double track main line on a gentle curve
running alongside the river. It will feature a junction station with a small
loco service area and freight facilities. There will also be some local light
industry. The layout will be set in the late 60's, however this will not
preclude stock from other periods (or countries) being run. The main
running lines will feature overhead catenary, however the yard and
branch lines will not, a typical prototypical mixture of the era.
It is intended to wire the layout to make it capable of DC or DCC control,
albeit not at the same time.
A feature planned for this layout is making the whole frontage follow the
gentle curve of the main line, providing an interesting perspective for the
viewer, and some challenges for baseboard construction.
It is hoped that we will start actual construction towards the end of the
summer this year.

construction.
