A complete room, just filled with a model railway display concentrating on the 1950s and 1960s. I started this roughly ten years ago when Renate’s Mattes moved out to Leipzig. Quite quickly with the help of a friend the general layout was planned and quicker than you can say Jack Robinson the trains could leave their depot on the ground and travel by help of a sort of spiral construction to the surface to hit the main line before disappearing in a tunnel again to rail down to the store. Each direction holds 12 complete trains, some rather long ones, so there are 24 to 25 trains stored.
Apart from the main line on the edge of the display, there are two smaller stations for a branch line which uses the background of the display and passes loads of little manufacturers, smaller factories, a construction market, brick works, and so on before it hits a smaller village called Hagen, amazingly, surrounded by fields and meadows as well as typical farm buildings and farm scenes. The branch line disappears in a tunnel as well and comes back a bit higher in a station called Fredenbeck, where a narrow-gauge railway has got their station Fredenbeck-Süd as well. Again: Farms, meadows and nice scenes like harvesting potatoes, etc.
