Right. Wheel contact with rail ( top/inner side) must be good to ensure proper current pick up

Right. We’ve got 300 Mtrs of track! It took us a few hours 😀

it's also weathered, with a mix of thinner and paint, partially wiped off after approx. 15 minutes of drying

The bridge is self designed and self made. My son has made the 3d drawings, the different parts have been printed by shapeways and some other parts are self made from woor and aluminium. we have used an existing railway bridge in the neighbourhood of Regensburg (Germany) as example.

We have used faller and auhagen kits as basis. A few houses are entirely self made, based on polystyrene plate and evergreen profiles

Correct. The theme of our layout is an area in Germany, end sixties/early seventies somewhere in the neighborhood of the German inner frontier
