Swiss Model Railroads - HO Scale Layout Court du Bouton by Rob de Vleeschhouwer and Wim Wijnhoud

The most beautiful inspirations for rail transport modeling, model railroads and model railways are often provided by Switzerland. Therefore, Rob de Vleeschhouwer and Wim Wijnhoud have modelled the railway infrastructure between the Swiss and German border. The result is a six-meter-long modular model rail layout in HO scale, which is built in three segments, each two meters long and about 30 centimeters deep. The model railway layout is called “Court du Bouton”. The background depicts landscapes that are typical for Switzerland. The foreground is dominated by the rail traffic of trains used by the German state railroads (DB) and the Swiss state railways (SBB). Rob de Vleeschhouwer has built the technical infrastructure of the model railroad. For the rails the excellent track system “Mein Gleis”, which is offered by the company “Rolf Weinert Modellbau”, was used. The professional railroad signals are products of the company “Viessmann Modelltechnik”. The computer program “iTrain” made by company “Berro
