The railway buildings

This is Frauenwald, station and locoshed



 

Unfortunately, there are no suitable building kits for HO

An alternative solution

As part of the search for a simple station building for Thuringia, I made a photo album of various smaller stations. The variety of styles is quite amazing, from full fachwerk, to rendered, stone and finally brick, there is almost no common style, maybe because many of the railways in Thuringia were ‘private’ enterprises…. Below is Geraberg beside the line from Plaue to Ilmenau it is a few kilometres from Ilmenau, at the northern end of the Rennsteig. 

Auhagen's Goyatz, the similarity to Geraberg is remarkable and as it is not a unique design, its use can be justified for Grafenwalde, somewhere in Thuringia.
