Timmelstein H0+H0e (20)
Made by Peter Wieland (Ger). We are in the middle of Saxony, somewhere on the Mügeln narrow gauge network, where operations on the 750 mm tracks are fairly placid. Timmelstein station on the H0e layout is fictitious, but shows typical elements of a Saxon narrow gauge station in the Erz Mountains, with a normal gauge line running parallel nearby. Adjoined to the station is a harbour based on the former port at Strehla on the river Elbe, though it is decades since ships and trains exchanged cargo here. So the rolling stock and buildings on the layout are obviously historical, showing life and goings-on in the South-East countryside of former East Germany, as it would have been in the 1970s. A fiddleyard is attached to the layout as a sliding drawer, where complete trains in both gauges H0 and H0e stand on metre-long track sections. The entire system is analogue controlled.
