The 1928 Rheingold Train FFD 101/102 had from Zevenaar, near the Netherlands/Germany border, a class 18.4 or 18.5 (bay S3/6) which brought the train to and from Mannheim. From there to Basel Badischer Bahnhof in Switzerland and retour a class 18.3 (badische IV h) was used to power the train. If one of the class 18 failed, a class 38 (pr P8) or in later years a DRG class 01 was used as a replacement engine. The train stop running afer WW2 begins. After WW2 the old coaches from 1928 did not come back to service. The young Bundesbahn used blue coloured "Schürzenwagen".

If you like run model trains after timetable and rules, through matching scenery, valleys, tunnels and over bridges, than join Fremo. They have all standards you need - the only thing to you is start building modules and connect em!

If more than 30 Years of FREMO experience are nonsense, I must say you, that you don't know what you talking about!

Moin Clive, I think the 1st thought should be about the connection to exsiting module standards. Is there any chance that you visit a continental europe 00 meeting or not respectively did a existing continetal europe 00 module will be connectet at a UK meeting. The european Fremo have all what you need and more than 30 years experience with around 1500 members is a importance fact. Markus
