Moin, hello This weekend I hat a little bit of traffic on some of my modules. Up to 6 kids running trains the same time. Text only in german - sorry. But the 64 pics are more important. .-) http://www.williwinsen.de/album/2007_09_29_Hamburgmuseum/html/default.html 2 of those pics as samples. Tschues / bye Harald
Thanks Dave I´ll try a short summary of the German text. The first long text discribes all the s..t, happening on Friday. Normally - the modul-layout should work friday evening. But someone in the museum smoked a pipe - and this meant fire-alarm. First we had to leave the museum - than police, fire brigade and technicans didn´t manage to switch off the fire alarm. Finally a standby duty technican arrived and managed to do it. Therefore on saturday morning - with the help of my wife and some fellows from the FREMO (my modelrailroad-club) we managed to install the modules in shortly 2 hours. Just in time for the first kids arriving. Operation is with 3 electrically separated tracks with 1 roco-dcc unit for each track. 2 trains on each track - more is not safe with the littles. The story of my POLB - Port Of Lynchbany-Bay railroad. The management of the POLB just acquired some used Bombardier coaches for a new commuter service. These will be patched for use by POLB. For the first testruns of this new service, they hired some CSX-engines. CSX has trackage-rights on the 3track harbour-belt. A type SantaFe steamer did some railfan-trips. 2 still unpatched bloody nose switchers, sometimes some RDCs and 2 older roadswitchers did their jobs also. For the GO train, I don´t find a modern loco :-( The railrunner loco had a wrong circuit-board - Athearn just sendet me a new board for free. Tschuess / bye Harald
I visited the website to view the pics- I don't understand German, but the looks on the faces of those children (and some of the adults) need no translation. Thanks for sharing with us:thumbs_up::thumbs_up:
Moin / hello I´ve added a translation - please see bottom of the page. tschuess / abrazos / bye Harald
I knew the GO train had plans to possibly expand to Ottawa from Toronto, but to see them running in Germany is quite a surprise...! Nice work! And it looks like the kids had fun too... Andrew
AMT in Montreal acquired 80 ex-GO cars from Toronto in 1994. Still in use and freaking out visitors from TO. Dave.

Great Photos. Were you inside or out? The photos make it appear your layout was outside the building. Jon
