Weekly Report No 150, CW 37
From Monday, 08.09.2003 to Sunday, 14.09.2003
A busy week is behind us but now we really start to rotate. The preparations for the 'Märklin Insider Days' and the 'Railway Day' don't leave us much room for aanything else.

The Rocky Mountains now have an entrance door. It helps keeping those all too inquisitive 'kids' from playing with the trains in the staging yards.
Slowly, the landscape begins to develop.In some spaces, the mountain summits almost reach the ceiling.
First step before the scenery can be roughed in with wire mesh:
Tunnel portals have to be installed. Here are two really beautiful examples, scratch built from wood: the top one was made by Kai, the one in the lower picture was built by Gaston.
