LGB - Viafier Retica Wälderbähnle Rheinbähnle
Kit bashed?
That's a bit much of a claim. I merely repainted and relabelled three LGB 3072 type passenger coaches using the Florida Orange Boy variant.
Also visible a 2095 diesel an unknown to me Italian transformed (long ago) into a motor coach of the former Ferrovia Spoleto Norcia or FSN (950mm). I added a pantograph and invented something wholly inexistent ...but then, rule #8
.
So meanwhile my Retian Railway has rolling stock that uses the LGB rubber scale for meter gauge models (tho actually Harz railway) as the LGB 3064 type coaches have that narrow look of a 2 1/2 ft parentage. Still, the CIWL salon coaches were just too nice not to add to my rolling stock collection. They could run off the Arlberg line into Tyrolean Oberinntal and on into the Swiss Engadine; but that line was never built.
Also other Austrian 2 1/2 ft engines and cars do meet my Retian Railway somewhere between Landeck and Scuol/Schuls. Hence, long live LGB rubber scale. Allows me to reminisce about summers past along the Alpine Rhine and upper reaches of the Inn river and various narrow gauge lines.
And then I'm experimenting with 'instant landscaping'. Yes, this is hunter's camouflage. So far running smoothly, no derailements .
Needs some taming but is better than the bare plywood.
My Winter Layout will never get much of a landscape, some backdrops perhaps, the detailing is to happen outside in the much larger Summer layout.
