Weekly Report No 146, CW 33
From Monday, 11.08.2003 to Sunday, 17.08.2003
Almost secretly and silent the second anniversary of the Wunderland passed. A short ceremony was held and toast brought out because we have to save our power for the upcoming events. America is just one topic; another one are the Maerklin Insider Days coming up here in Hamburg... in this conjunction we recommend all our visitors not to come on the weekend (Saturday, 20.9. and Sunday, 21.9.) since we expect long waiting time for non 'Maerklin Insider's.
Since we get more and more email request; here's a hint concerning our timeline: America is finished when we tell you... We can't, resp., don't want to issue an exact date. The best way to stay informed is to follow up our weekly reports to actually see when this section is completed.
On the right side of the layiout, carpenters and track layers swap shifts.

if one moves around the central mound of the canyon,
one can see the development of the scenery..
From left to right: Risers & subroadbed (wood), roadbed (Merkur) & track (Peco), wire mesh, scenery (plaster)...
Our Pueblo village ( see 10-2003) definitely made a lot of progress since then...
When technicians are bored...or: 'We took care that you don't loose your cellphone anymore...' ;-)
The future Hotel Bellagio undergoes a first illumination test..
Now the impression of the room lighting is thoroughly tested...
There will be red-hot stell flowing in the steelworks..... at least; that's what this test implies.
