I think the translation is something like "And then there's this dope..."

Absolutely you can Lee........legions of men in leaderhausen are this minute matching in columns of two towards Maryland to pay homage to the LWV.....................cause dey da only ones who can understand just how famous you is.............to the rest of us your just a computer chair sleeping; martini drinking, puddy cat hater........with a nice pike...... ;D
Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!

Rundumanlage on approx. 5.50 x of 4.80 meters of surface area (in the plan measures are indicated in foot and tariff; 1 foot = 0.304 m, 1 inches = 2,54 cm). One builds with Atlas-Code-55-Gleisen. The plant is on the one hand coined/shaped by much generously arranged landscape as well as by industrial track connections and a sumptuously dimensioned station with engine shed.

On the website of Lee there are a Diashow and many explanations to the plant (on English), which is on the attic of its house still in the building. Over during the building already driving too make possible, are taken into account some loops, which " Endlosverkehr" make possible, until the complete Rundumanlage is closed.
The pictures show (above) the middle component rising up into the area, which contains centrically a backdrop to the separation of the components, and which double-railed " Brücke" (down), which closes the Rundumanlage over the course away. It is removable with few handles.

So what is a Rundumanlage Lee ????  :o :o :o and did you know your station was sumptuous? ;D

My resin Whitcombs got put on an Italian N web page and I had a similar reaction....  and similar results from Babelfish!    I finally found a bilingual Italian/american modeler to help.

I've got three regular N customers from Germany if you need a better translator!

as "on the attic" implies above the roof, hence the need for the "in the building" qualifier!

You may be internationally famous, but none more so than on ATLAS ;)

We all dream of the "large" layouts...like the layouts by Todd Treaster, Phil Brooks, Lee Weldon, Eric W, Jim Reising, and, again, many more

Yes you can! ... there are up to 1,000 visitors a day on my website ... and I think a lot of them saw your layout ...

It was me, who linked your layout to the layout database.

"Rundumanlage" means: the layout follows the walls of a room and you move in the middle of the layout.
I think there are differences in planning layouts in U.S.A. and Germany: you find a lot of Layouts which are simple (and stupid) rectangle or L-Shape.  :P So I try to show how different layouts can be. In this spirit your layout is an excellent example for a completly different layout.  ;D

Kind regard --- Jürgen (aka jaffa)
