Restoration

Archive images

What better way to begin a look back at past outings but with the layout’s debut IIRC at RMweb SWAG’s first Open day in 2008


These images from Model Rail International April 2006 is the Kibri Reichelsheim kit that appeared at Warley, again at Intermodellbau Dortmund 2008
 
 




Archive - Grafenwalde Mk1 at Uckfield click here



This was the original Grafenwalde
 
Restoration 

It was lost until when Brian found it, abandoned in a barn on the Isle of Wight and returned to Dorset in 2022. Unfortunately, it had been exposed to sunlight and it had taken its toll and the window frames were discoloured.
 

It has been fully restored by Mike and ready for use on Grafenwalde, the same name but a new layout.

The lavatory has also been renovated 


The inspiration


The remarkably similar Arnstadt Ost, unfortunately at the end of its existence - now demolished Link to Geocache

The station was owned by the South German Railway SEG but administered by the 
Central Administration for Secondary Railways Herrmann Bachstein.

Thank you to everyone involved.
