RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted December 9, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 9, 2014 Would they be able to adjust the gauge to 22.46mm? Yes easily any gauge you like but I suspect most US modellers are going to stay with 16.5 so you might find it a bit bumpy elsewhere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
298 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I have the track to make a scenic module, but am not confident enough to build a module to Freemo standards - too precise for my... incredibly poor woodworking skills. Does anyone know of anywhere that makes Freemo module baseboard kits? Maybe I could look into that? As others have said, If you start with a simple, straight module then it's fairly straightforward to take a cutting list to a timber merchants and go home with a baseboard kit (unless you want to build a curved board, which would be useful).

geofftiller Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 All being well I'll be at this one, hopefully wihout the early morning flight this time! I'm working on a Chicago based industrial switching moduel, it should be ready by September. Geoff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted December 16, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 16, 2014 Well I'm doodling the couple of extensions to make the layout planners job easier. I can get both out of a 4x2 sheet of ply with a 2ft extension to the Non freemo industrial park to space it away from the Freemo line and a 3ft x 1.5ft new module.

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted January 19, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 19, 2015 Right chaps who's going in September and what are you working on? I see Geoff has stated his project and Dan but how about Tim and others, how are yours coming on? My two new mini modules are a sheet of ply and working on last years schedule I should be able to finish them in time as they are a third the size of what I built last year 25th June 5th July see plenty of time!

Glorious NSE Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Have a word with: http://www.timhorn.co.ukI don't think he has it catalogued on the site, but he showed a test of one for the RMWeb OO modules on the initial thread there, and I think that would work for us as well as their recommended width is also 18".

Talltim Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I'm still planning to come, but have done nothing over the winter... However I'm hoping to have the awkward (i.e. Not available RTR) diamond finished in the next couple of weeks, after which it should be plain sailing until I get to the water, but at least I can bring it with a dry lake bed!

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted February 9, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 9, 2015 Next question where are people staying? Nick mentioned another Premier In has opened in Lichfield, there's the one some of us used last year next to the power station with the coal trains to watch The slighty cheaper Holiday Inn Express on the M6 at Jcn 13 or there's a cheapest I've found a Travelodge in Rugeley itself. Anyone booked yet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glorious NSE Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Haven't talked to our guys yet, but I think we liked the power station premier inn last year. (Much better than the rather dingy travelodge!)Maybe i'll get a room on the coal train side this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glorious NSE Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I'm going to send an initial contact email out in the next day or two - it'll go to those who were on the contact list for last year plus anyone that's indicated an interest either here or on the freemo facebook group - let me know if anyone else wants to be included in that.Thanks!

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted February 9, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 9, 2015 Well as it sounds like at least three of us like the Premier Inn view I think I'll go for that Maybe we can congregate in Martins luxury view Suite for drinks before dinner?
