looks a bit abandoned... well there was a lot
of construction work concerning the tracks
in progress and all the minifigs had to go
sleep so they don't disturb...
so this is work in progress.

the whole thing is about 5 times 3 meters
and at (my personal) eye level, giving a lot
of storing and working place below. the tracks go all
around the room, the two windows of the atelier
are passed by those two large blue bridges
(the socalled "blaue wunder"). These have a
kernel of two 8x8mm square aluminum struts,
carrying most of the weight, and gave the artist
enough freedom to realize his vision of romantic
late 19th century railway architecture.

the steam engine to be seen on the bridge is
more or less a copy of Reinhard "Ben" Beneke's
BR24. some design and the drive is different, 
so it runs properly if pulling backwards and
works fine with the decoupling unit.
