Foreword
The “Modellbahnfreunde Ammerndorf” (Ammerndorf Model Railway Friends) have set themselves the goal of recreating the Bibertbahn in miniature – a branch line that carried holidaymakers, commuters, schoolchildren and of course all kinds of goods through the Bibert valley in Franconia for almost three quarters of the last century (1914–1993).
In this way we want to keep the memory of this branch line alive. We work from surviving original plans as well as from old photographs.
We have built two modular layouts. The older layout covers sections of the line at Ammerndorf, Großhabersdorf, Münchzell, Dietenhofen, Leonrod and Unternbibert-Rügland. The second layout (our new modules) shows parts of the line near Fürth-Süd, Zirndorf-Altenberg, Leichendorf and Weinzierlein.
Local residents keep sending us interesting ideas and suggestions for improvement. Many thanks for those as well.
