The segment has the size of 130 X 72 cm. It consists on level 0 of a maintrack and 4 sidetracks. The radii are 39,5 cm and 43 cm. 6 cables of 1,5 mm are laid into the segment with the help of Brawa plugs 3093. 2 are for the driving current (14 V DC), 2 for switching current (16 V AC)  and 2 cables with 14 V AC are for lights and animation elements. A white 3 mm MDF sheet is installed as a control panel.

Sections without current are equipped with plastic rail joiners and joiners with soldered cables .The Fleischmann track control panel items are fixed on the MDF sheet. The side parts of the segment are installed and fixed with white glue and clamps. The horinzontal strips are cut to measure one by one. After this they are installed with screws and white glue. The plywood panel for the upper level is cut and applied.

In 2023 I replaced the formerly installed Heljan N 678 brewery by self-made buildings. Windows and doors together with boards of almost every firm have been used. A 3,5 mm high frame embraces the brewey. It has to receive the recessed track of the yard. A small administration house was built with the help of photographs.rent sheets. At the the entrance to the brewery a gate was installed. I used the moving Viessmann water crane 5832. It was sawn and flush mounted.

A Viessmann Power Module 5215 was connected to the Fleischmann transformator 6705.The gate is operated by key switches. In addition to this a Viessmann relay 5551 operates the Saint Andrew crosses 5803 for the brewery yard and cuts the current when the gate is closed. Subsequently a current break was installed using the Roco saw. It is supplied with current by a Fleischmann rail- joiner 22217. One of the Saint Andrew crosses hangs on a 2mm brass mast.

The brewery gate was made out of Busch sheets, Evergreen stripes and 0,8 mm brass rods. I cut the Viessmann 5832 water crane and drilled a small hole into the base. The gate was glued with gel instant glue. The wall with the gate mechanism can simply to be put upon a stripe. The Kibri 37969 wall sheets have been painted with Humbrol enamel colours. After drying, I applied water-soluble Plaka 72 colour and rubbed it to emphazise the joints.

I installed a modified Mafen dwarf signal in front of the brewery gate. The signal is connected to the relay that operates the gate, the Saint Andrew crosses and the driving current. In the back of the brewey yard I installed a further uncoupler. I built a diesel tank and an emptying station for a tank wagon out of Faller parts as well as sheets and bars of many providers. I also installed a lamp and a diesel fuel pump from the Modellbahn Union range.

The brewery receives the fuel for the brewing and the diesel for its lorries by rail. The three brewery buildings received a LED interior illumination. Outside, above the doors, came Modellbahn-Union lamps. Under the roof of the loading platform I installed a white LED. The Kibri chimney was drilled and filed from beneath. At the top I installed a Seuthe smoke generator. By a push button a Kemo timer starts and the chimney smokes for 20 seconds.

I made the truck garage out of Busch, Evergreen and Kibri sheets and stripes. The furniture comes from Modellbahn Union. The chair and the oil stoves are self-made. Inside the building was installed a white LED. The lamp above the office door is a Modellbahn Union item. The railings for the stairs were plied out of 0,3 mm wire and fixed together by instant gel glue. The vent pipes of the garage were made out of a tube and sawn-off brass nails.

I made the Fatima sanctuary with the help of photographs.The bows were filed out of a 4 mm wooden strip.The Fatima itself was a cut out photograph glued upon a grey plastic sheet.The sheets are Kibri and Busch. The profiles are Evergreen and the colours Humbrol. As fences I used Vapeur 70 and Heljan ladders. The sanctuary will be illuminated by 2 searchlights.

I built the engine shed consulting photographs. The walls with the doors and the windows were drawn on scale paper. The plan was transferred  with carbon paper  to a Busch 7203 sheet.Everything was cut out with a cutter.The roof consists of Kibri slate sheets.The vent pipes consist of a tube and sawn brass nails.The gutters are Evergreen half round items. I bent the waste pipes out of 1 mm wire and fixed them with instant glue. After this a Humbrol silver coat was applied.

Inspired by an old photograph I built a water tower. The dimension were adapted to the shed and the brewery. I made the tower using my formerly descibed method. It was equipped with a Ratio ladder and a Viessmann  lamp. On the PC I drew a jauge, railway pannels and posters. They were printed on a white film.

Next to the football ground a refreshment stand with a ticket desk and lavatories was set up. The building was made as described above. It is equipped with a LED light. The roof can be removed. With the compass saw I cut a 3 mm MDF board for the street and the standing places of the football ground. I also made 2 gates, a score board, hedges and wire fences.
On the wooden landscape structures I fixed Noch wire netting with the glue pistol. On this I laid plaster bandages.

The rocks are collected slate stones. I modelled everything with window putty. Behind the brewery I fixed a fence from the ship modelling range. The streetlamps consist of 2 mm brass H profiles and Viessmann parts. I created the meadows wit Heki Decovlieβ, materials from Woodland, Busch and wood glue. The trees are Faller, Heki, Hünerbein Natur and Busch. The roads were painted with Faller colour.

A Viessmann sound module was switchted in paralell by a relais to the gate. Into the investigation pit of the garage came a Busch weldering bulb. Beneath the football ground I placed a programmable WayinTop sound element. The fence at the locomotive shed is an Ndetail item. The signs are self-made out of 0,3 mm wire, 0,3 mm plastic sheets and decals. The buffer stop is Weinert. Beneath the dead end track to Bastogne I fixed a balcony for derailed trains.

The brewery received a further loading platform for lorries. The brass ladders from the Faller 222195 kit were plied, coloured and glued. Behind the garage I fixed a shelter to the wall. Signs and a milestone were installed into the road to Noertrange. I make the football ground out of plastic sheets and brass parts. The lines were cut with a plotter. I ordered an Oxford ambulance with a flashing light at Letitlight in Rastatt and redecorated it using decals.

In front of the brewery came a Faller bicycle stand. I glued N-train sacks into the Herpa trailers.The railway and street signs are self-made. The Viessmann St Andrew cross was installed slightly recessed. The chimney sweepers are Noch items. For the football ground I made goals out of brass wire and safety nets out of 1,5 mm Evergreen H profiles. Around the ground an altered and repainted Aeronaut fence was established.

I screwed 2 Perspex sheets for protection on the edge of the playground. The billboards were glued. I made a board that shows the score of the match and fixed it. To the Brawa floodlights were added Evergreen stripes, Kestrel ladders and parts out of 0,3 mm and 0,5 mm wire.

I placed Heki trees and Ndetail fences around the football ground. A shelter for the watchdog of the garage was added. For wintertime on the mountainroad I made a sandbox and a snowshovel out of Ndetail parts, wire and plastic sheets. On the rock behind the brewery a fence and a photographer have been installed. I cut off the caps of the Woodland american policemen, glued Evergreen rounds upon and painted them with Humbrol colour.

Now they are members of the "Gendarmerie Grand-Ducale" and fit with the redecorated Oxford Land-Rover. Near the refreshment stand a fence and litter boxes have been glued. Noch and Preiser ambulance men take care of a person with an attack. The football supporters were made out of the Woodland  A2187 picket line. The cars have been altered with decals

The football players are Noch and Tomytec items. The Noch figures received black stripes as well as white and red numbers.These are Microscale decals. I cut the 3 Tomytec figures near their bellies. They were shortened by about 1,5 mm, glued together and painted. Now they better harmonize from the size with the other figures. I made a flag for the linesman out of yellow cloth and wire.

Behind the football ground Faller trees have been placed. I mounted a shepherd with sheep and a sound module into the mountain. A tree with a bench came beside the road. Underneath the lorry garage I installed sound modules. An Artitec taw truck for lorries and Woodland figures came into the yard.

On the elder part of the layout alterations have been made. On the station segment I motorized the Faller platform crane. Next to the goods shed I built a lorry scale with plastic sheets and profiles.The Sherman tank was replaced by an Artitec model.

The turnout levers, the milestone and the telephone were made of sheets, round profiles, strips and 0,3 mm wire. They were decorated with decals and Humbrol colours. I installed new Auhagen buffer stops. In the middle of the railway crossing, Evergeen strips have been glued and painted with Humbrol colours.

On this part improvements have also been achieved. With screws I fixed a plywood panel for a children's playground. An altered Langley rounabout is moved by an ONPIRA TDY-12 motor with 2,5 rotations per minute. I transformed a Viessmann H0 seesaw and installed it partly under the surface.

I created public toilets for the park with the childrens' playground in my usual method. The old lamps in front of the mansion were replaced by Beli-Beco items. The lamps of the main-street have been replaced by LED fitted Faller items. Out of the Viessmann well I made a Michel Rodange Fox fountain. I fixed everything with screws and frames of wooden strips.

I installed 2 WayinTop sound modules of 4,5 V. For the childrens' playground I used a free internet download and shortened it to 6,7 MB mp3 with Sound Forge. For the well water noise was recorded in a nearby park and adapted to the duration of about 3 minutes in mp3 with Sound Forge. I put the switches directly in front of the visual scenes. The parts can be dismantled and reprogramed.

I dismantled the Kibri castle. The segment was extended upwardly with bars and plywood panels. Beneath the self-made castle I installed a further ONPIRA TDY-12 motor for the fairground organ. This one was built out of a Lemke trailer, plastic sheets, Evergreen as well as Auhagen parts .I designed the front decoration using a photograph with Adobe Illustrator and printed it by laser on a decal. A Noch figure turns on a 1 mm brass screw. For the moment a Noch sound module provides the music.

I altered the Kibri kit. Inside the bridge came 2 metal rods of 8 mm and the 6 cables for the current supply of the whole layout. Because of the depth of the Faller Car System steering elements, I had to determinate the height of the supports as well as of the road by tests. I could fix the levels of the river, the road, the railway and the industrial railway to 18, 58, 90 an 200 mm. The inclination of the hill will be adapted to this.

I used remainding parts to build the tunnel, getting inspired by a photogtaph. Inside the tunnel the Fleischmann rails were underlaid with thin sheets to reach the hight of the Peco Code 55 track on 3 mm cork. Rail joiners with cables are supposed to provide current. I also built an underpass for a country lane on a model at Haut-Bellain. The walls weree painted as usual with Humbrol Emanel colours. After I dotted and rubbed with grey Plaka water paintings.

Beneath the bridge I glued a 0,25 mm plastic sheet. Out of plywood pieces were made hills, slopes, a channel and a weir for the watermill.  I painted the Peco track and the cork with Humbrol Enamel colours. With Peco tracksetta the rails were laid and glued with waterproof wood glue. Peco PL-82 railjoiners with cables provide current. After this I ballasted with Heki  33103.

I built the underground FCS turning loop on a 12 mm plywood board, that will later be removable to the top. It's fixed by 2 nuts. I fixed the Faller 180641 transformer on a deeper level. 2 electric Faller 161674 parking items are to be steered by 4 Busch 5720 photo electric barriers and 2 Busch 5740 electronic relais. On top of the FCS turning loop I build a removble hill out of 6mm plywood boards.

The mountain road takes a bend and disappears after a steep slope underneath the railway station. A further Faller 161674 parking item, steered by Reinhold Schmitz "Reflexion electric barriers" and a Roco relay allows the alternating circulation of 2 lorries. The "lorry-road" will become visible on the quarry segment and will lead from there to the broker.

This time I laid the Peco Code 55 flexible track following the instructions of a Peco TV video. A 3 mm cork board was painted in grey using Humbrol Enamel colours. I pied the track using the 36 inch template. I drilled 2 0,5 mm holes in regular intervals into the outer side of the ties. Z scale nails were pushed inside by using a plier. Underneath each flexible track I soldered 2 cables to the rails. Peco PL-82 railjoiners provide additional current.

The track plan consists of 2 curved turnouts  SL-E386F, SL-E387F and 2 straight turnouts SL-U395F and SL-U396F2. Beneath the board runs the FCS truck road. In the foreground runs the FCS parading road. I placed the wire using the Faller 161669 groove cutter.The road consists of 4 mm poplar plywood.The turnouts are operated by PL-26W levers fixed on PL-28 frames. Thus one always recognizes the position of the turnout on the control panel.

Beyond every turnout I fixed a PL-10 motor and a a Pl-15 Twin Microswitch. The Pl-15 feeds the tournout-hearts with current. A train-stop function in case of wrongly positionned turnouts is also fed by the PL-15.On 4 spots I fixed slide switches into the control panel in order to stop trains.To seperate the locomotive from the waggons I built a lever in addition to the Herkat uncoupler. Thus it becomes possible to uncouple waggons by hand in a more "smooth" way without the the usual "dance".

I built the "Schlesserbierg" signal box altering a Faller kit using many Kibri, Evergreen, Modellbahn-Union parts as well as wire.The dispatcher's building is an altered Artitec kit. The self-made railway signalman's house includes parts of numerous manufacturers.The barrier crank is a Nordmodell item. The announcement bell comes from JPP. The signal point indicator lamps and other signal box parts are Weinert items

The landscape is determinated by a brook mouth. The crusher and the quarry railway are situated on the northbank of the "Heaven's Brook". The turning loop of the FCS parading road is equipped by a Faller 161674 parking item. It is operated by 2 Reinhold Schmitz RLSAC light barriers and a Viessmann 5551 relay.

The quarry railway is based on the Busch H0f field railway. In 1/160 this corresponds more or less to a meter gauge railway. It is commuting on a bridge of Märklin Z parts, lying on Vollmer N bridge piers, to the crusher and back. By a point the railway runs over a purely decorative bridge to the front. This is only to hide the Faller Car System truck road.

I built the crusher using Busch, Kibri and Vollmer plastic boards. Parts of Cornerstone and Kibri kits, as well as Evergreen stripes have also been used. Plastikplatten von Busch, Kibri und Vollmer.The whole building can be removed upwards.The FCS trucks are stopped by a 161674 parking space and started by a push-button. The landscape in the rear is partly removable to have access to the road underneath.

I recorded the noise of a quarry with my handy. The mp3 files were transferred to a 38110 Uhlenbrock sound module. It is activated by a switch.The quarry railway tracks are Busch H0f items, where I added an additional tie between the existing ones using Evergreen parts.

On the acces ramp to the crusher I embeded the Busch tracks into balsa wood. The Uhlenbrock sound module fits exacly with the crusher. At the side of the crusher an annex out of wall panels was built. A Viessmann track blocking signal will steer the loading of the waggons. A track scale was buil out of an Auhagen kit. On its roof there is a removable track blocking signal. The administration building and the truck scale are self-made.

Next to the removable bridge part are placed the "Café Op der Millen" and a former stable building. I used Faller, Uhlenbrock, N-train, Kibri, Evergreen, Peco, Weinert, Mafen and Beli-Beco items. The Noch 21769 micro motion tree with a swing will also be installed.
