At the facility, you can also see many other train sets, such as a Spur-1-exclusive 90-ton steam crane, a passenger train, a custom-built Bruno Rail Cannon, as well as coal and other freight cars. Occasionally, my Bundeswehr military train also takes a ride around the facility.
This area contains a harbor area with everything that entails, such as a harbor crane, quay area, torpedo boat, and loading/unloading area. The harbor crane is a replica of a harbor crane from Hamburg Harbor. It stood in Hamburg Harbor from before World War II until its scrapping in 1990.
I’m trying to recreate how the Wehrmacht equipment looked during World War II through historical documentation. However, it often requires a certain amount of creativity because there are usually only black and white photos available. So, I have often had to guess the colors.
The weathering that I create, in my opinion, helps to provide a better sense of reality of how locomotives, carriages, and structures might have looked back then.
I have extensively used visual material from the time around World War II in the creation of my Wehrmacht material. I now have over 70 books on the Deutsche Reichsbahn and the German Wehrmacht. It is from this material that I have found original photographs and descriptions.
