The layout is called Graubündenbahn and it takes you to the mountains of Swiss Canton Grisons (Graubünden in german and Canton is the equivalent of a country).

This canton has a widespread, narrow gauge system of nearly 450 km. So on my layout the track is narrow gauge too. The scale is equal to the widely-used model railway HO-scale (1:87) on the continent, but because it is narrow gauge, the rails are only 12 mm apart, and not 16 mm as with the normal gauge. This scale is known on the continent as HOm (in UK 3,5 mm); the "m" stand for metre track and this is the standard for narrow gauge in Switzerland Central to my layout is Schiers station, one of the many picturesque stations of the Rhaetian Railway (RhB) thé regional narrow gauge company.

The station is a real public transport junction. All passenger trains stop here and the well-known, yellow buses of Swiss Post carry the pre and post transport. Near the station you see four postbuses and on the ends of the layout a few little ones, for passengers to and from the more remote Alpine villages. The layout is only to see during exhibitions in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, France, England and Scotland.
