The why and wherefore
Grafenwalde is merely a tiny collection of DR locos, rolling stock and three buildings on a 4,8m modular layout. The backstory is based on a subtle mix of minor railways that have become Grafenwalde.
The supposed location is a terminus at the line to Königsee that has been extended towards Gehren but only as far as Grafenwalde whilst the
trains and services were inspired by Die Laura which ran from Rennsteig
to Frauenwalde.

The line to Grafenwalde from Königsee was classed as a Kleinbahn with an initial weight
limit of just 12t, which was upgraded in 1917 to 16,8t in order to
accommodate the T9.3 that supplemented the line's T3
which pulled a BCPwPosti that Lindner built in 1912 for the line's
owners.
Buildings
The
‘inspiration’ for the station is
built in the style of the SEG Süddeutsche Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft AG, common enough in many areas. On such a small layout there are just a few complete structures, the station group and loco shed.
