Pirmasens in N-gauge

7th June 2009

A little piece of south-western Germany in the comfort of my own home.
Pirmasens Nord is the junction of four single track branch lines, coming in from Pirmasens HBf, Saarbrucken, Kaiserslautern and Landau. The layout includes the Nord-Hbf branch, and may also include the halt at Munchweiler on the Landau line. Stock and timetables will be based on the 1970/90s (it got rather boring after that).

trackplan - the red lines (Kaiserslautern-Pirmasens Hbf) might be electrified (they are not in the prototype) aa_pirmasens_layout.JPG.jpg	looking north from Pirmasens Hbf terminus DSCF0896.JPG	Pirmasens brewery (temporary) DSCF0898.JPG	ford plant on left, carriage sidings on right, line on far right is fro Landau DSCF0899.JPG
