Betriebswerk Nürnberg Winkelhof represents a corner of a Bavarian locomotive depot in the late 1930s. This part of the depot contains the repair shop, stores and permanent way supplies. Locomotives are mainly tank engines that handle local passenger and freight services in the area. However, small diesel shunting locomotives, Kleinloks, are beginning to appear as well as diesel railcars.
The scene was inspired by, but does not exactly represent, an area of Bw Nürnberg Hbf located behind the roundhouse that was destroyed by fire in October 2005.
Stock is a mixture of commercial German models, including Fleischmann, Roco, Märklin, Trix and Piko. To enable realistic shunting, all stock has been fitted with Kadee couplings.
The layout was produced in a relatively short time for the German Railway Society stand at Alexandra Palace in 2007. Since then, it has been modified to improve detail and remove any anomalies. This is a continuing process. The scenic part of the layout conforms to the “micro layout” standard size of four square feet as defined by Carl Arendt.
