It's unbelievable, how many votings we received concerning the special-run cars. The voting showed a clear favorite which we will present later on.
The layout also provides new exiting fotos. Finally, the skeleton of Hamburg Main Station presents itself on the layout. Not only working is a challenge, but also finding materials. It was not that easy to find a launching ramp for the Space Shuttle (Revell had one in their program years ago). And it was Revell who gave us their very last piece, so Cap Can. now offers the 'right' flair.

Finally, the skeleton is finished. It is built after the prototype although not quite correct: We simply don't have the space to build a dimensional correct structure.
Parts of the Grand Canyon are already covered with wire mesh. Very soon, Harry will start working with plaster here.
The scenery offers lots of room for "playing around" with it, like this natural stone arch...
or those needles, just how they may be found in parts of ....
The wooden bridge is nearly ready -
it just needs it's piers and a bit of weathering. After all, it already served the railroad company for many years.

The structure builders also were busy again (two examples are shown here) - about 60% of all structures for America are ready and wait to be implemented.
Unfortunately, we still await the one or other delivery...
