Introducing the gauge 2 model railroad layouts!

Gauge 2m (G): Amarillo Mountain Rail Road – USA Layout The newest addition to the LGB Friends from the Lower Rhine is the Amarillo Mountain Rail Road (AMRR) segment layout! The installation shows motifs that were typical for us Europeans in the 1950s. In addition to Mount Rusmore and Red Rocks, you can also see the striking fire escapes of New York’s old town. The tracks allow the use of long trains with huge steam locomotives, such as the Bigboy! Operator: LGB-Freunde Niederrhein, D-47057 Duisburg Layout size: 24 x 5 meters

Gauge 2m (G): North German lowlands with a peat mine Three trains run on the oval in different directions, two of which automatically detach at the station.
The peat extraction is supplied and disposed of by a Regner light railroad in shuttle operation as in the 60s/70s.
In the depot, a steam locomotive shuttles from the engine shed to the coaling station and back.
Almost all of the buildings were built by the locomotive builder, the station has a fully equipped delicatessen and a station café, a soccer pitch, camping site and wild nature are also part of the layout.
Digital operation is used. Operator: Friends of LGB Northern Germany, D- 21035 Hamburg Layout size: 10 x 4 m

Gauge 2m (G): Eifel Layout – Feldbahn in the 1950s The former record layout of the late Franz Stellmaszyk was rebuilt, restored and digitized by the LGB-Freunde Niederrhein association! On display, among other things, is a light railroad as it was once found in lava mining in the Eifel under the motto “from the workshop to the volcanic quarry” the very normal life and work in the middle of the last century. The working environment in a lava pit is reproduced in great detail. Operator: LGB-Freunde Niederrhein, D-47228 Duisburg Layout size: 6.5 x 4.5 m
