The crew of # 280ponders what to do about a very stubborn pooch protecting “his”crossing. The scene is from the AG-7/11’s CB&Q modular O Scalelayout from Germany featured in this issue.Centerspread:Mixed #618 waits for a train order on the AG-7/11’sCB&Q modular O Scale layout from Germany.Everywhere West!A ModularCB&QLayout from GermanyBernd Jogwich1GP38 #712 passes under a busy highway towing a long freight.Our model railroad club was founded in 1964 by members of the former Ger-man Model Railroader’s Association (D.M.V.) of the GDR. Our latest project, an OScale modular layout, was modeled after a U.S. prototype: the Chicago Burlington& Quincy. After many years of operating in TT-scale, we looked for new ideas forthe future. We are more interested in older trains and equipment, especially fromthe late 1960s.

All of thebuildings were scratchbuilt by the mem-bers, except for the tower and café whichare commercially produced buildings.The core section of the layout formsthe junction at Serena, Illinois, whichis equipped with two industrial sidings.Later we’ll set up a four-track staging andfive curved-track sections.
