Bregstadt 1:120 TT
Bregstadt is a fictional small town situated in a Black Forest valley somewhere East of Furtwangen and West of Vohrenbach. Up until 1976 there was a private railway, the Bregtalbahn, from Donaueschingen to Furtwangen. For the benefit of this layout the Bregtalbahn passed into new ownership in 1976 and survives on a hand-to-mouth basis with second-hand equipment and special steam trains run by the local Eisenbahnfreunde. An occasional “Plandampf” with steam running most trains also brings in much needed revenue.
The layout is set in the early nineties, just after the time of reunification. Short goods trains are hauled by a variety of second-hand diesel locos, with a passenger service provided by 4-wheeled railbuses bought from the DB, and steam specials. Traffic to the yard at Bregstadt is shunted by diesel shunters including a class 08 bought cheaply from British Rail.
