FELSEN

HO SCALE

FELSEN is an imaginary town in the German Mosel valley somewhere between Koblenz & Trier.

Felsen at York exhibition, Easter 2009.

The area is predominantly wine growing and the small town plays a part in this industry, however the town takes its name from the rocks which form a cliff face along parts of the river gorge.

The double track main line, set in the late 1950's/early 1960's, carries trains on German domestic services and some international through workings from France & Luxembourg.  Most trains are steam operated but some diesels are starting to appear on local services and the occasional freight train.

The layout is 3.5m (11' 6") long by 1.9m (6') wide. Operation of stock is by DCC, as is point & signal control.

Felsen is transported in two cars and requires two operators. We are happy to consider invitations to one day exhibitions with Felsen.
