Next weekend, the 13-14 March, is the Z scale meet in Altenbeken. This bi-anual meet was formerly Geseke (neighboring city) but due to personnel changes, the space was no longer available to moved to Altenbeken. http://www.z-friends-europe.de/downloads/altenbeken2010/Flyer%20ZFE%20Altenbeken%20Interaktiv_Print.pdf (sorry, in German, the English link is down). http://www.z-friends-europe.de/ I will travel Wednesday to meet up with Dave George (a.k.a. Mr. Dave) of the GOlden Blackhawk Central travelling Z scale road show (only in the U.S. http://misterdavezscale.blogspot.com/) and Larry Dornsbach. Thursday and Friday, we'll run trains at the OWL group, a US Z scale layout. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pFuM0v1hdc Hoowaa ! Running trains. .
Lot of great super detail parts. Every one works on details, trying to cram as much great, realistic stuff in the typical Marklin-like size (like apartment size 2x3 layouts). Big show layouts with many more of single track mid lines (like Wash DC Wiz KidZ). Amazing stuff.
Quiet a nice video made by a Z-Friend-Europe member Karl-Heinz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP75ldFTQzo
wow so many micro trains I think I just wet myself! I wish they would have these over by where I live, damn looks like i'll be attending the first annual Z get together out west. Can not wait. Oh and guys I finally picked out my track plan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I´ll bring some pics later, but didn´t have the time to make many, I had to run trains (which isn´t the worst). It was a great weekend, I was very glad to meet you Jeff, Mr. Dave and Larry. See you in 2012. Mattias
