Beautiful set, for sure. The 3315 (3316 in combo) is my best runner, by far.

I'll bet that there are people on this Forum who know where this is if not exactly what the layout is called. The two side/overhead views do not show that about one-third of this very large area is under reconstruction including scenery and track and although it's HO and Euro-themed I found it interesting: I've not been in this city before although I have a vague family connection with the country through former in-laws and more near and dear persons in the extended family. Any guesses? I have a mini-movie of another unique local attraction that I'll post separately.
P.S. I admit that I looked at the layout's small scale water features with a critical eye and only this one was up to the standard recently shown here especially by Country Joe :

Healey36 - I posted the pictures of the freight station you requested over on the thread in the Tinplate forum Thanks af3020 . I used the pics you posted to cobble together some graphics...made a few edits, now headed to the paper cutter next. I finished off a somewhat modified version of the no. 91 using the pics from Robert as a basis for the graphics: The real no. 90 and 91 stations are the same size, but the 91 looks a bit peculiar with its compressed lithography. It really needs to be a bit bigger to look right, so I blew this one up about 25% from the original's dimensions. Other mods include the cut-out doors/windows, with the partially "open" door actually giving a glimpse of the unfinished interior. Basically the same methods as used when building the Lewis Park no. 77 (repro of a no. 90). Done with these for a while; gotta get back on the repair pile before we get to deep into fall.

Harborbelt, is that Minuatur Wunderland? I don’t have any desire to visit Europe but if I do I want to go to Hamburg to see this incredible layout in person.

Harborbelt, is that Minuatur Wunderland? I don’t have any desire to visit Europe but if I do I want to go to Hamburg to see this incredible layout in person. Not in Germany, Joe, and certainly not on the same automated scale as the Wunderland although this city has more than one major small scale layout. The one I really wanted to see was closed for summer vacation but there was enough to take in - more than enough - in this one. An obscure hint and surprising (to me) fact is that this city is on a tributary of the river that flows north through Hamburg into the North Sea whereas the Danube flows south and east into the Black Sea. I'm not making a geography quiz out of this and all will be revealed once I post the video I have mentioned. (My excuses for posting it here are that it was a special occasion and the video will contain side views.)
P.S. A manufacturer of very nice O scale models is based here and I have one example of their products. The box in the second photo may give the game away:

Well, if it's ETS, then it must be the Czech Republic and Prague? I've got some of their stuff and it's some really nice gear. My one ETS loco:

Yes, it was Prague, and the layout was the Model Train Kingdom or Království Železnic. The middle photo in my first post was of the main Prague railway station, which is represented on the layout. The video I'll try to post tomorrow is of somewhere else:

THAT is a fantastic model and scene - everyone should have a look.

OK, I'll take the bait. This (Northampton & Bath) is/was a railroad in eastern Pennsylvania, right? going by the names it could have been a spur line in the middle of England but the spillage from a cement bag gives it any. In any case, great modelling.

I thought the spillage was Epsom salts...for the Bath.
