Greetings from Czechia. In the relevant countries Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, eastern part of Germany, former USSR countries I would bet it is a heating pipe leading from an adjacent coal fired power plant to a neighbouring city. Very often such pipelines are 20 or more km long. The longer they are the larger the pipe diameter must be; then very often you can see not only one pipeline in fact two lines hidden in a common thermal insulation jacket, one leading steam to the place of consumption and the other one returning condensate to the plant but two parallel pipelines insulated separately.
Hank - thank you for stopping by and taking time to help me out here! Sounds like I was on the right track! Post a Comment Thank you for leaving a comment on my blog - I appreciate you taking the time to share your views. March 11, There has been a real flurry of layout design commissions of late here in the workshop, the variety of which never ceases to amaze meβ¦.
Sometimes a story is told through a fixed place, a memory, other times it can be just a feeling. In this instance it was a blend of memories exploring industrial railways with a parent combined with that familiar love of model railways.
The prototype location saw railways on several layers with evolution and rationalisation through time. A gentle nod to this in a re-organisation of some elements to suit our scheme. Putting the junction with rationalised trackwork between railway bridges, themselves a contrast - one a modern electric expressway the other an aging freight only system.
These have their front exits hidden by the wings, and as it is viewed closed to eye level their exits are lost behind other detail. The blend between industrial and rationalised traffic is front and centre, an industrial pipe runs through the scene, so typical of the area. Is it a heating pipe or something more industrial? A pair of aging huts break up the view along the front edge and trees line the embankment.
