Weekly Report No 344, CW 22

The Matterhorn top is finally finished, including the maintenance hatch. Now our modellers continue their work downwards into the valley.

Meanwhile, the Engadin mountains rise. While Christian is preparing the last lines, Martina already starts painting the rocks.

Underneath this bridge a small creek coming from the big viaduct will find its way down the valley

Below the big viaduct, more and more details are added and the areas become covered in vegetation.

A different view into the Wallis valley.

Gaston once again builds a large bridge and, as it suits him, it will be completely out of wood. Having measured the construction plans precisely, he now starts with the first pillars and the driving surface. This structure is modelled after the Sunniberg bridge in Klosters.

Here we see one of the pillars which is glued together from various parts and held together using C-clamps.

many of our readers will now ask why we tilt a small town...

Small city with a new angle. To ease the technicians' work, the city of Brichur has been inclined. Now, they can reach the wires much better.

The Wallis wall painting has been finished. Other white walls are now vitalized in the same manner.

Construction of our visitor’s way through the inners of the Matterhorn has also begun. Old logs will create the illusion of a mine through which one walks.

The playground we showed you last week continues to be enhanced. Two highlights are a climbing wall and a moonwalk. Of course, both will be populated by moving small inhabitants.

After long time, two old friends, well-known from TV, have come back from Scandinavia into the US.

After long time, two old friends, well-known from TV, have come back from Scandinavia into the US. Our two bridge pissers, aka Gerrit and Freddy, are finally back on their bridge and, thanks to Gaston, have a slash.

But what's up? Only some days later, complaints reached the control center - they were missing again. Perhaps they had a drink so that they could continue their job on the bridge?

After searching through the different bars near by Grand Canyon, we finally found Gerrit just down in the canyon. Being asked why he wasn't on the bridge any more, he admitted that he is not really free from giddiness and therefore climbed down into the canyon to continue relieving himself. Freddy, after all, was not keen on standing there alone and preferred vanishing completely. We hope Gaston will not be too angry about the two and put them as soon as possible back at their usual place. However, it would be really helpful if someone could give Gaston some hints on Freddy's hiding place. Then, he would not need to clone him.

Another old, well-known detail can be found in Scandinavia. The floating dock floats again at its old place. Unfortunately, we still had no time to make it operational, as our development department is currently working heavily on the automatic ship control. We hope that we'll manage to make it sink and rise up realistically by later this year – barring any unforeseen problems.
