Ride in the driver's cab: • Ride in the driver's cab over Uwe's Rhäti... Uwe Müller's garden railway system is located at a height difference of 15 m, on the edge of a vineyard. Ideal conditions for the Rhaetian Railway. In practice, however, it is also difficult to implement because, as is well known, the ground always starts to slide on a mountain and you therefore have to rely on a very solid construction from the outset. And this solid construction has proven itself very well for several years now. Only all-round operation with changes of direction using reversing loops was once the case, but the Filisur dead-end station and a rack railway have now been added. The terrain, which rises with a 20% gradient, could only be accessed with bridges, tunnels and a semicircular viaduct. The system is wonderfully integrated into nature and I also find the suggested overhead line particularly beautiful. Slim switches and radii are another flair of this beautiful system. In the Gartenbahnprofi 1/2020 there is a very nice description of this system including a track plan.
