Today I made a short movie with my new Dapol Class 26 on the Isle of Skye Railway. Markus

Thank you for your answers, it's a very tight fit, but I managed to seperate the body from the chassis now, and my DCC Chip is fitted. Markus

My blue Class 26 arrived these week. And Yesterday I run it in on my test circuit. Today now I wanted to fit the DCC chip. But I can't manage to get the chassis out of the shell, I only managed to unclip the plastic floor of the loco. But the chassis stay in the loco. Did anyone disassembled his loco to fit a DCC chip and could help me? yours Markus

Tom, thank you for your answer. For purchasing Easitrac components, have I to be a member of the 2mm Society? Markus

Hello Tom, did you built your easytrac trackwork to 2mm FS standarts or did you built it with a gauge of 9mm? Markus

Hello Andrew, your progress looks great. Markus

Hello, a good friend told me that he had a mate who used blue poppy seed, and after some time it sprout. So he recommend not to use any organic stuff for ballasting. Markus

Thank you for your answer. On one of my modules I've got a quarry, which could receive explosives. The period is early 60s with steam and diesel engines, and late 60s/early 70s (pre TOPS). Markus

In my edition of the rulebook I could found Rule 240, It's the first edition and was issued to the first owner in December 1949. I've got a question regarding the Gunpowder Vans, how long are they in use? And could explosives also be send in normal Goods wagons? yours Markus

Your locos are smooth runners. Please keep us informed on the progress. Markus

Hello Andrew, you've got a very nice layout room. Good to see the progress on your layout. Markus

Today just a few other movies from the modular meeting. Markus

And here is a picture of a secret British Railways Prototype B) Markus

Yes, it looks great. My friend Matthias is building it. Markus

From 22nd until 24th the first Great-britN and HafenbahN modular modelrailway meeting was held in Lohr. Here are some movies and pictures I made during the meeting. The timeperiod set for the meeting was post 1985. Enjoy it. And some pictures Markus

Andy, very impressive pictures. Is it possible to show the track plan of your layout to us? Markus

Andrew, great looking layout. More pictures please. Markus

My Glen Bogle Viaduct module is now almost complete, maybe some small additions of some vegetation, and some figures. Here is the result. Markus

Hello David, I rode in Silberfish coaches during my schooldays behind a DB class 141 on my daily trip to school and back home. Markus

Hello, today I show you a movie I made during the FREMO meeting at Hanau. Markus

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. Markus

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. Markus

Andrew, your station throat looks very good. Markus

Today I could show you a track scheme which was made by a friend from our german forum. It shows the stations on our modular layout for the meeting. Markus

I usually use a track cleaner from www.schienenreiniger.de Sorry their website is only in german. I've got the small hand cleaner, and their cleanig fluid. These stuff saved us during the Intermodellbau 2009. I also use simple wood blocks for track cleaning, especially after painting tracks, but also between the operation. It won't harm the rail surface and is quite effective. Sometimes I use a track rubber. Markus
