This compact layout was designed to alleviate the stresses at the end of a day's work by allowing me to capture memories of walks between Filisur and Glaris in Switzerland, watching the trains of the Rätische Bahn going by, at least that was the plan, but after three years, this is still in progress.

The layout takes up no more space than that of a single bed (on which it normally lives) and yet by careful design, six different trains are able to move around following an automatic sequence so that no more than half a minute passes without a train appearing or disappearing.

The bright red of the RhB stock, mostly Bemco, contrasts with the green and greys of the landscape. Rocks in the river bed come from Switzerland allowing the rock faces, of polystyrene and polyfilla, to be colour matched. Buildings represent the ones seen in the area and are derived from Kibri and Vollmer kits. The catenary is mainly Sommerfedt with some modifications, which has to be properly tensioned using springs in the tunnels!
