Very nice video with overview. I never had one of these prefab layouts. I always made my own but the Wendelstein with the additional panels is really a beauty. Cheers & subscribed.
I got into the prefab layouts after my first attempt at a N-scale layout was a disaster! They give a guy like me, who is not great artistically, a fighting chance to make a decent layout. I guess prefab layouts are akin to paint-by-the-number books! :) Thanks for the comment!!!
This was interesting. I might have to borrow some of the layout ideas when next time I build a compact layout. Also I think they would looks great in N scale. Thanks for sharing.
See my video on the Kibri N-scale layouts. Every once in a while, a long while, one comes up on eBay. Noch has the market pretty much to itself today, though I sure wish Kibri would get back to making layouts again. Thanks for your comment!!!
Thank you very much for the presentation of these old layouts that I know existed, but never seen them! As a native German speaker your pronounciation of "4. Chiemgau" gave me giggles. It's pronounced "Keemgow" in English.
Thank you for your comment! I was going to say something about my pronunciation in German. I had great grandparents on both sides who were Berliners, one a judge who Bismark had removed, the other a professor. Sadly, I was never exposed to German. If you think my German pronunciation is bad, you ought to hear my Portuguese! My wife is Brazilian and though I have a good reading vocabulary of Portuguese, my pronunciation brings either laughs or quizzical looks! Danke! (Did I say that correctly?) :)
I like this vid! It's nice to see something different from the past. I too, like some of these layouts! Thanks for making this informative video!
Even in the 1990s, I dreamed about getting the Ortenstein, but never was able to find one. Thanks for the comment!!!

@@StatusFaction Yes, quite true. I always thought they looked great, and the expansion possibilities were good with them. Cheers.
