What model railway enthusiasts say

“… turned it into a real gem” – Ronald Barink, Bw Altendorf

“During the trade fair in Dortmund in April 2025 I met Florian and asked him whether he would like to design a backdrop for my layout. After the fair he got to work and truly turned it into a gem. I would like to thank him sincerely, because it is a real eye-catcher, which many visitors to the fair confirm, and I keep being asked who made it.”

Ronald Barink, Bw Altendorf

“… with my own holiday photos” – Jan Böttcher, N scale

“For my N scale layout I absolutely wanted a realistic photo backdrop. Florian built me a photo backdrop from my own photos that I took on holiday on the Darß peninsula. I'm really delighted with Florian's work at a fair price and would like to offer my sincere recommendation here!”

“… extremely happy with the professional execution” – Klemens Wojack

“I have already had several backdrops made by Florian Schöbel and am extremely happy with the professional execution of my wishes. New ideas on my part are always implemented creatively and individually, and my own pictures and ideas are incorporated.”

Klemens Wojack

“… a clear recommendation” – Matthias Wilfroth

“For model railways with realistic scenery, a backdrop is essential. Only a well-matched backdrop, custom-made for the theme and the layout, can blend in with the scenery. So from me, also compared with other suppliers, a clear recommendation.”
