The buildings

The station at Gau-Bischofsheim is the prototype for the Kibri kit, it has been used on various layouts since 2004. I am trying to capture the same grotty atmosphere that the old layout had in spades. The trick was the choice of depressing colours, greys, greens and browns, no bright tones. 

 

2025 looking rather battered




The building was part of the first iteration of Pottendorf in 2004 and later the first version of Grafenwalde both of which appeared at Warley and later at Intermodellbau exhibitions. 

In 2024, it was found, discarded, on the Isle of Wight and has been returned. It will be reused on this version of Grafenwalde.
 
Deep joy, I just found the laser cut signs for Granfenwalde
 

This is the replacement goods shed from Pola, suitably plain
 

The only other major railway building is a simple single road wooden shed from Kibri and its coal stage


 

Details such as a water tap outside the locoshed and inside the store
