One I forgot,
I am planing the trainstatin Athen Larissa.
Does anybody know the length of the middle platform?
Or it would help also the dimension length of AEG 520 of the control cab car.

Hi Manfred, your video of Train 500 was a joy to watch! Lovely layout and lovely train.

I'm sure that some of our Greek friends here will be able to help with your platform length question.

Greetings from faraway Canada!

Nice video Manfred!

You can make an estimation about building size or track length from Google Maps.
There is a ruler at left bottom that can help you.
Print a screenshot and make the measurements.

This way I made an estimation that the main platform is something like 6.50-7m.
I hope that was helpful :D

The A-451 is looking good! (As a Canadian myself, I have always been fond of the MLW locomotives!). Can you tell us more about the OSE coach? It looks very good too!

The OSE coach Is a repaint of the Klein Modellbahn Modular coach that I have bought from Greek seller. Also the MLW is from his hand.
Two others I need to build up on my own, these one I took that iI need not wait too long for it.

Hi all,
As I don't like to do the layout I drive too much wagons around.
But at the end they are filling up the tracks as you can't move any longer.
Therefore I took a solution from a YouTuber.
The solution is to use the CW Profiles of Knauf.
I put morror strips blow tracks as their are some press in noses on the inside of the profiles.
To store them I make some sale peaches of wood on an existing furnature.

I start with 3 pieces to make a test and it works fine.
At the end I will put a plexi plate in front of it to cover against drop out the wagons.

Please take care if you use it as you need to break the inside edge with a rasp to avoid to cut you
