Weekly Report No 233, CW 15

The most obvious progress is made under water.

Next week, the basin has to be filled again, and therefore, high pressure is on the finishing processes for the ocean's ground.

While work seems to be quite "relaxed" in Norway...

... a couple of things

happened in Sweden!!

Be it ice-hotel or snow covered scenery, this area developed rapidly during the last days.

This is made easy due to pre-building most scenes and structures off the layout. So, most of the trees and structures are already finished and just need to be properly placed and worked into the layout.

ther areas also received new objects. There is a typical wooden church and...

...a troll-cave in Norway.

As already mentioned, pre-fabrication this remarkable progress. As an example, this norwegian village is just being wired and will later fit into the layout as a whole.

Talking about wiring: we already presented the post office/hotel which also is in the wiring department now.

We are really excited wether this bascule bridge will serve as reliable as required later on. Four tracks cross a canal and the bridge has to open in order to let ships pass underneath it. The bridge is made from brass and still awaits the paint job.

This nice container vessel is just one of 20 ships that will go to water during the next weeks/months.

Last, we peek around the corner of the central command stand where the last "working pit" is udner way now. This new room will be the new repair shop for the layout's rolling stock. It will have a glas front, so visitors are able to watch Renee (our shops master chief) take care of locos and coaches.
