Weekly Report No 87, CW 26
From Monday, 24.06.2002 to Sunday, 30.06.2002
Well, now our little landmark, the fireless locomotive, is gone
Some new beautiful buildings are ready or will be ready very soon. Town hall, footbridge, and a very famous building in Hamburg (due to space limitations, we could'nt build it 1:1 - our usual problem: we simply don't have enough space)....
While tracklaying beheind the Central Station continues to the airport, the completed lines already see a lot of traffic in order to thoroughly test the hardware of the Underground, S-Bahn (commuter trains), and trams and also do a bit of configuration finetuning.
So far, this building lot remained empty.
Now the town hall is open to the public.
Apart from concerts and congresses, exhibitions will also be staged in this modern building.
Next week, we'll have picture from the light test....
Talking about modern:This footbridge in the international station (from here, the trains to America depart...) cannot really be described as "old"...
Hopefully, someone will recognize what this is going to be. Would you believe:
The base for this structure is the station "Baden Baden" (which we also converted into a castle already).
Good job, Helge!!!
Another lock...
it shuts off the canal to the Speicherstadt warehouse complex.
After finally we determined what will be going on in the 5th room, the missing tracks in the right part of this section can be laid out. The trackage had to be adjusted to the new opportunities (an updated trackplan will be in the next report...).
Here, the various basins of the Port of Hamburg will be created! We will have container- and general cargo - terminals. The liftbridge will also be mounted here, in order to let the harbor railway reach the front terminals...
