Intro

 Pottendorf 

Instead of copying an actual location, I tend to bend the truth and create a 'factional' place that mixes a few facts with some fiction. The layout in my workshop is based on a real railway line in Upper Franconia from Ebermannstadt towards Aufseß, which ran through the village of Heiligenstadt. Perhaps that's a good excuse to build a model of the station that was never built?

On 1 May 1961, 98 855 on the last passenger train ran between Eschenau and Neunkirchen am Brand

Models

 In the distant past, there was Pottendorf. Most of the models have been sold and the layout remains intact with just a few unsold models.

 

These are the few DB models although the Wismar Typ B is “on loan” from a privatbahn
