The "Digital Evaluation Layout."
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Part of the construction included a hidden stockyard for storing trains not in use

Stockyard under construction

The stockyard is pitched to allow cars to roll freely into the yard from the top. Also, there is a hatch for access to the back corner of the layout.  The helix to go from this level to the station level will go around this hatch.

This is a view of the train drop-off/assembly area with two trains.  The S-Bahn is on the pass-through, whereas the Blue/Cream BR 111 is on one of the train drop-off/assembly tracks.  Note the start of constuction of the catenary system.
