Weekly Report No 392, CW 18

The complete layout is still refined and some parts are under repair. Last week it was time for the old allotment gardens in the Hamburg section. They were completely torn down and...

... rebuilt. Some figures and details to bring the scenes to life, however, are still missing.

The flora and faune has already been completed, though.

Even pools are allowed in these gardens - just the right thing at the current temperatures. This model may look familiar to you since we introduced it in report no. 389 when Bobby was just about to assemble it.

Just like this little strawberry booth which had to be illuminated by then. Now this booth found its final location right besides the allotment gardens but the little Preiser figures to complete the scene are still missing.

At the Hamburg Main Station also some progress was made. Our 'eternal' construction pit now has its two towers which we showed you in report 386.Now the model builders are working on more parts of the fassade and the roof. It'll be interesting to see if we can keep the deadline this year! :-)

A 'minor incident' had Wolfgang replace some tracks in the Hamburg section right under the more than interested looks of the visitors. The center contact of the tracks were so worn that no trains could enter Hamburg Main Station without a 'helper'.

Gaston built the pony farm in our new Kid's Corner and really appreciates proposals for a name for this farm. All children up to 10 years of age are invited to mail their proposals to info(at)miniatur-wunderland.de.
