All-

Check out an N-Scale German club that operates American prototype fine-scale modules built to the FREEMON (N-scale FREEMO) standards. Pretty amazing modeling. One feature you notice right away is point-to-point from staging with prototype-based track arrangements and usually single-track main with DCC.

Here are some of their modules...

Go to their home link for the standards if you want to see them.

They had a show recently, "20 years of N scale modular railroading at the FREMO". Here is a link. Most text is in German, but you can get the gist of it.

They were in the last issue of N-Scale Railroading, showing how they dispatch their layouts from miles away using special radios connected to the Internet.

One of their members contacted me and asked if anybody I know might be interested in dispatching some during their next show via their system as they operate in Germany!

Anybody that wants more info, e-mail me and I'll put you in touch with him.

They are wanting to operate in English to be more prototypical!

The world is getting smaller all the time... :eek:

Hope you enjoy,
