Dachbodenbahn - Attic Railways

[Junker Jörg]

Zu lang ist's her, daß ich meine Gartenbahn abbauen mußte. Jetzt konnte endlich der Dachboden unseres Hauses besiedelt werden. Nach einigen Versuchen war DAS...

...der Plan.
A long, long time ago I had to remove my garden layout. Now the attic was due to be colonised! And that's the final plan.

Zunächst waren einige Vorarbeiten nötig: Das unisolierte Dach mit Dachfolie gegen Dreck abdichten:

Some "starters" such as shielding the roof against dirt from outside...

Oder einen Teppich für's Wohlbefinden und die Landschaftsoptik:

...or laying a carpet to provide better feeling and a touch of 'landscape'.

Für die Elektrik wurde an einem der stillgelegten Kamine eine Holzwand angebracht, weil sich da leichter bohren läßt.

A wooden panel grants easy fastening of electric devices.

Let the track layout begin...!

Und dann kann der Gleisbau starten!

Awesome! I love massive installations like this.

Do you improve the inside of the roof with wooden panels or so?

[Junker Jörg]

Nein. Wir wohnen zur Miete und ich müßte es selber zahlen => zu teuer. Nope as it's a rented dwelling and I'd have to pay that on my own.

I hope you've left a large air space between the chimney and the wooden cladding.

It seems HUGE!

Looking forward to more - I love these "progress" pics

Thanks for sharing

Mehr ist unterwegs, und der Kamin ist stillgelegt. More's yet to come and that chimney is shut down (if you can use that frase here - otherwise it's out of order  ).

There is even space for a plane.

jj:

Shut down is PK, although if the chimney is blocked off at the top the technical term is "capped".

frase = phrase - another English trap for the unsuspecting!

[Junker Jörg]

Well then 'capped' it is and I ought to return to school to avoid beginners' mistakes such as 'frase' I can't even pin the blame for on auto-spelling...  .
