Thought I'd pass this along... nice looking layout which appears to be based on early Conrail.

I saw that layout on another website recently, it had PRR equipment on it instead of Conrail, but definitely the same layout. I can't seem to find the site, I'll post a link when I find it.

Background language seems to be German.

Ya there is a site. I even have some pix on my computer I copied for reference but I can't post 'em. I've been searching for an hour and can't find the site, which bugs me since I saw it only a few days ago. I guess my memory is starting to go... Nope

It's from the American Railroadfans in Switzerland Convention

This guy has quite a few videos from the meet. Some very nice modeling here...

Here's a forum site "TEAM TRACK -" in French with photo's and videos of this modular(?)http://teamtrack.xooit.com/t267-City-Limits.htm. One of the pics shows a poster/book cover(?), "American Railroading in Switzerland - October 2009"... maybe one of our European members has some info. Bob C.
Additionally, this seems to be the convention/show where "City Limits" was taped (Zurich, Switzerland) with a bunch of links & videos - http://www.trainmaster.ch/convention-e.htm- Loved the G-gauge logger video.

Very nice but,I highly suspect the local citizenry would file complaints on excessive horn blowing... Confusedhock:
I highly suspect CR's upper management would frown on the excessive use of locomotives and 4 men crews use to switch that industrial area. 357
