About model trains and railroading. DIY or professional.

I'm currently working to completely rework the layout my father and I own.

One of the bigest musts is continuous traffic.

I saw this trainstation plan and quite liked it.

The "dead-End" from Track 2 is for additional expansion in the future.

Do you have any ideas and suggestions? What do you think of it?

Some more information:

Length x Width: 3m x 1.2m

Max. train length in the above ground station: 1.3 m (to not block switches)

Max. train length in the shadow station: 1.5 m

Height between the two layers: 10 cm

Max. slope: 3.3 %

I'm trying my hand at weathering. It still takes some time, but I like the effect.

Some more pictures:

Lower two are from Kleinbahn (austrian manufacturerer) Upper one is the Saxonia set from Pico (with some missing parts sadly)

Scratch built from 16x150mm wooden sticks

The trains look a bit bare without cargo, so I'm trying to build some myself. I want two or three more bars and then I have to think about how I'm gonna get it fixed in place.

Yes, it runs under it's own Power. It's a Breuer Tractor! Sitting on a small Diorama I made as a Gift for a friend.

I like this tiny little engine.
