Harz HSB in Berkshire

Looks really good!

Can I ask, is that curved point/switch at one end of your main station/yard the Piko R5/3 one? Or have you found one of a larger radius?

The bridge looks cool; is it removable I guess? In your shoes I'd be tempted to rebuild the steps a foot or so towards the patio so you can avoid the bridge at the top, and bed the track more directly into the step; avoiding the need to add & remove the bridge, and step over it.

Hi Mike, yes it's two of the curved Piko points leading into the station. They've been modified by fitting the LGB sprung point switches so they spring back to the set direction if you run backwards through them.

The bridge is removable as we have a second set of steps into the garden so it's not a problem. It's also low enough to step over but I wanted a bridge on this layout.

Looks so real, just like when I was in the Harz in the winter.

I don't know what make it is. It was given to a friend of mine who donated it to my garden. It's in need of some TLC with broken and missing parts but I'm hoping to repair it this summer.

After Spring maintenance and installing a head shunt on the far station, we finally had the trains running here in the sun....

Have you seen that Modelbouw Boerman are now doing a model of 99-5906?
