Set in the late 1990’s, Kleine Albula is a representation of a fictitious passing loop station, many of which can be found on the largely single track network of the Rhatische Bahn, in South-Eastern Switzerland. The layout is set in winter depicting clear roads and tracks but with plenty of snow still in evidence.
The snow effect has been achieved using multiple layers of artex on top of the traditional scenery. The buildings, tunnels and the viaduct are all from commercially available kits.
Rolling stock is primarily from the Bemo range with a few D&R Modellbahn items also included. The catenary comes from Sommerfeldt but is purely artificial. The trains running represent the various types of traffic seen on the RhB, including the Glacier Express, various freights, and enthusiasts specials.
The layout is controlled with Gaugemaster handheld controllers with the track layout being fully sectionalised.
