The complete setup

The setup consists of 65 modules with a total of over 250 meters of track, over 40 switches, several buildings, signals, etc. 55 of the 65 modules are exhibition-ready as of October 1, 2024. Only a 1.2-meter extension of the station, a 1.2-meter extension of the freight ramp, and a city module in connection with the station, as well as a siding with 2 stations totaling 7 modules, remain to be completed.

A tremendous amount of emphasis has been placed on creating a realistic recreation of nature and other areas of the facility, including through the choice of materials, suppliers, and extensive aging.

There are 2 depot tracks (one diesel and one coal). These include both maintenance sheds, a coal crane turntable, a traverser, and all other train handling facilities.

There is a harbor area with ships, a harbor crane, and loading/unloading areas.

There is also a station area with 4 tracks and 3 platforms.

Everything is controlled digitally via 2 Ecos and a touchscreen computer. One Ecos controls the turntable, the traverser, the coal crane, the harbor crane, and the emergency coal system. The other controls all the trains.

Throughout the modular setup, there are fully functional signals controlled digitally via a computer with a touchscreen. There are both double-arm, single-arm, stop, track block, and waiting signals.

The rolling stock on the setup consists of over 70 waggons and 10 locomotives, including two passenger train sets, freight trains, a Wehrmacht transport train, a Bundeswehr transport train, and a train with a 90-ton steam crane.
