The blog is about building a small fictitious terminus vaguely based on other small stations in Oberfranken, instead it is merely an amalgam of features of existing locations in the area, a plausible fiction.

It began with four old baseboards that were cleaned and prepared for new track
Mar 2023 Track laid and fully wired
February 2024
The platform receives a coat of Acrylmasse textured light grey paint and the roads and station yard have been repainted with limestone paint and layer of Acrylmasse.
All the track has been ballasted, ready for testing.

The backscene is finally in place
May 2024
The edge along the backscene is mostly complete, it is patchy were the PVA failed to 'grab' the static grass, the rest of the grass was secured with MattMedium.
Finally, the front edge nears completion, just a few untouched patches to be covered, tomorrow, trains will be running.
Perhaps worth mentioning that 'Pottendorf' represents a station during a rather wet ‘60s late summer and it is in its final months of existence, lack of maintenance has resulted in a general unkempt appearance.

At the end of the track
It is a lantern from Auhagen 41618, not easy to assemble nor easy to install. A shallow slot had to made in the trackbed and it is held in place by the white PVA glue. There are six on Pottendorf.

Finally complete
