BOG-A-Rama 3  continued May 2007

after the BOG-A-Rama 3 ,
my German buddy Klaus and myself started working on all kind of cool gadgets and functions
to create an awesome LGB layout with endless play options

the finished layout had :

a warehouse setup to load and unload train-cars and the semi-tractors
via a radio-controlled fork-truck

a gravel-pit with radio-controlled excavator
to load the train-cars

a modified Pola coal-tower ,
converted to a gravel-silo with radio-controlled functions

unloading area for the ore / dump train-cars

radio-controlled LGB turn-table

a loading and unloading ramp
for vehicles to be loaded on train-cars

working rail-road-crossing
and a junk-yard

below are just a few of the large amount of photos ,
plus videos

click on the thumb-nail images to see them full size
above each image you will find red arrows to navigate forwards or backwards ,
basically like a slide-show
