The prototype of this very detailed model stood since the end of the 19th century on the line of the Wuppertalbahn from Lennep or W-Oberbarmen via Radevormwald and the crossing point Anschlag to Oberbrügge. The Wuppertalbahn, which climbs steadily from the bottom of the Wuppertal at 180m to 360m in Radevormwald, and which, due to an alternation of slopes, deep cuts and bridges, gives travelers an almost mountain railway-like impression, was one of the most charming lines in the region.
