Dear members,
we (a
friend and me) made a modular HO-scale coal mining layout for presenting
on model exhibitions here in Germany. It features a tipple from which
hoppers are actually loaded with crushed coal and  three company houses
and a company store to represent a mining town. We tried to capture the
landscape of  West Virginia by modeling mountains thickly covered with
forest and a hand painted backdrop. We
operate N&W stam locos and meanwhile some diesels and we run
coaltrains up to 40 loaded hoppers with  helper  service. The layout was
already presentet in some modeling magazines in Germany and
Switzerland.  
Recently I was informed
by a friend, that there are a few clips on Youtube, which were made
during an exhibition at Adliswil near Zurich in Switzerland in 2006. I'd
like to share them with you:  13th Convention Adliswil
2006 volume 2 , volume 3 and 4.  http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=WBl2rekJc5whttp://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=Bo2zuac3BE4http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=2ZAWJ4iE3lEI hope you will enjoy them.Regards from GermanyMichael Fuchs
