    Two weeks ago I attended the modelrailway days with some friends from FREMO with some of our modules.
    We operated it according to a timetable. Here are some pictures, and a short movie.

    Hello,
     
    here are some pictures I took during my attendance at the FREMO N scale modular meeting in Hanau from 2nd until 5th of June. Unfortunatly I only could attend it on thursday and friday.
    I hope you enjoy the pictures.
    The time period was set to the early 1980s. We've got two double track mainlines. which crossed at Karlsruhe Durlach (these is a scale model of the real railway station) On one mainline we've run for the first
    time electrice locomotives. Then we've got two branchlines. On these two branches most of our freight traffic was handled.

    Glenbogle Viaduct

    By McRuss,

    With only about 2 Month until our Great-britN meeting, I started with the construction of the firt of the tree required modules. I called it Glenbogle Viaduct.
    For the viaduct I used a Scalescenes kit. After the viaduct was built, I started the construction of the module.

    Last weekend the FREMO regional group Frankfurt attended at a regional trainshow.
    Especially the children liked our modular layout because they could operate trains. Here are some pictures.

    As some of you know the Isle of Skye modular N scale layout was exhibited at the Irvine show 2012 held by the Kilmarnock & District Model Railway Club.
    We are now back from Irvine. We had a great week there. Bill and the members of the Kilmarnock & District Model Railway Club are very hospitaly and give us a great time.
    We enjoyed the Irvine 2012 show.
    Pictures I made during the week could be found here. https://picasaweb.go...CLz7y7PwrtXklQE
    And here are two videos I made. The first is from the trip to Scotland and the second is from the exhibition.

    Hello,
     
    last weekend I attended the FREMO regional meeting at Hanau near Frankfurt. There we assembled a quite large modular layout in N scale, with timetable operation.
    The layout featuered a two track main line from fiddle yard Schattenbach through Karlsruhe Durlach, to Abzweig Hohenrein, there the two track main changed to an single line
    main, from there it enters the second fiddle yard Frankental. From Frankental two branchlines emerges. One goes to the Industrial and harbour district, and the second was a branchline
    wich goes to the CSSR, cross the Iron Curtain. From Hohenrein, another branchline reached Tettnang. From Karlsruhe Durlach, there was a single track mainline to France.
    The timeperiod was the late 1970s to mid 1980s. We've got trains from DB, SNCF, CSD and the private industrial railway which served the industrial district.
    At Karlsruhe Durlach and Rittershause (on the french line) there we changed locos between DB and SNCF. At Frankental locos were changed between DB and CSD.
    Here is a film I made during the meeting.

    By McRuss,

    Last weekend, we held the second Great-britN meeting at Lohr.
    We had modules for a scottish branchline and a busy singletrack mainline terminating at Penzance.
    Here you could see my pictures from the meeting.

    It's been now some time after the Great-britN modular meeting.
    Since then I decided to scrap my Borve modules, which where a junction station.
    So because our group lost a junction, I decided to build a simple junction module.
    Here is the actual result.

    I spent the last two weeks on holiday in the northern Harz Mountains in eastern Germany.
    Due to severe cold I suffered in the first week I couldn't spent as much time as planned on
    riding trains on the Harzer Schmallspurbahnen (Harz Narrow Gauge Railway"
    But last thursday I was able to ride on the Selketalbahn from Stiege (with turning loop) to Eisfelder Talmühle
    (where the Selketalbahn joins the Harz Querbahn from Nordhausen to Wernigerode"
    During the summertimbetabel some trains on the Selketalbahn which runs usually with a diesel railcar are
    exchanged with steam loco hauled trains. These happens from thursday to saturday.
    I made a short film of my train ride.

    Here are some pictures from the modelrailway exhibition, that we attended last weekend
    at Frankfurt.
    First some pictures from our modular layout.
     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     
    Now some pictures of the H0 layout owned by the modelrailway Club of Griesheim, which held the exhibiton.

    I had no chance to make more pictures from all layouts, because we needed all hands, as we gave the children the possibility to
    run trains on our layout.

    Silvester Layout

    By McRuss,

    Yesterday I attended the so called Silvester Layout from a friend of mine.
    Every Year between Christmas and the first or second weekend in January he
    held operating sessions with a modular layout at his home.
    Here are some pictures and a film I made from yesterday.

    Silvester Layout 2014

    By McRuss,

    Early these month I visited a friend. He held his anual Silvester layout operating sessions.
    These took place in the weeks after christmas.
    His layout is a combination of a layout with the addition of FREMO N-RE modules.
    Here is a short movie made by me.

    Today I received two parcels with new motive power. In the first parcel was a GraFar Class 20 which a friend of mine (MacRat) resprayed in the green livery and numbered it D8032.
    In the other was the Class 27 Body shell from Its N Gauge, which will run on a GraFar Class 33 Chassis.
    Here some pictures.

    Bridging the gap

    By McRuss,

    Today my Borve modules get their legs. And I placed the modules in my hallway.
    Then I assembled my other modules in my railway room.
    Now I could measure the distance between Borve and my layout for building the
    missing module.
