Speed Muller's TxNamib Railroad
N Scale


Modeling the north and western portion of the Namibian TransNamib railroad. From the port city of Walvisbaai, where the majority of products are imported and exported, up to Tsumeb and Grootfontein in the north, as well as the main line to the capital city Windhoek with a hump yard.

The track plan is a three leg star with Kranzberg in the middle (at the bottom of that Helix shown on NMRAx) with two staging yards, first one beyond Walvisbaai at the ocean on the "west" end and the main staging yard south of Windhoek in Keetmanshoop on the "east" end. Going up the Helix is the north leg which splits at Otjiwarongo to Outjo and north to Otavi and Grootfontein. Track to Tsumeb had not passed Namibian Track Authority tests yet.

Layout is upstairs, enter the front the door. Park anywhere on the street.
