Are there only multiple unit trains on this line? I read recently that the number of locomotive hauled trains has greatly decreased in Germany.
I am also interested in having my computer control my trains. My plan is to get a Tower64 gadget from RRCirkits to handle all feedback from track...
My guess is that if you install the usual cork roadbed, the difference in height will not be much. To bridge that height difference, perhaps, you...
Very good post about a railway system that most people are not aware of very much.
That was fantastic. I am going to have send you a bill for time lost to looking at pictures instead of working :-)
Fantastic scenery. Its impossible to tell what scale it is from these photos.
I have used several curved Shinohara turnouts in my layout with no problem. I bought mine recently and was careful to get the DCC friendly...
For 16 years, I built up a collection of Marklin stuff - quite a bit of it in fact - and built several layouts. I never thought I would leave...

I think you will get bored running trains on this layout very quickly indeed. Even if your interest is landscaping, I don't really see many...
Very nice trip report. I have been to the National Railway Museum in York, England. Until now, that has always been my favorite railway museum. It...
Rereading your initial posting, I realize there is a significant difference in the way we use sensors: I use a sensor to tell me when a train...
If you have a choice, I would strongly suggest using the IS471 chip from Sharp. Take a look at an article I wrote on my web site about inexpensive...
I took a quick look at this document and it makes for fascinating reading. When you have such a large and complex system, the infrastructure is...
Ecos seems to be mainly popular in Europe (FYI: the Marklin Central Station is built on the same hardware plaform as the Ecos by ESU). One of its...
Great photo. As you says thats a pretty remarkable consist.
In my opinion, the Europeans (mainly the Germans) are much worse than the Americans when it comes to the question of too much track on layouts....
I just finished laying tracks on my new layout that I designed using 3rd Planit software. My initial idea to transfer the layout on to wood was to...
I took a look at the train movement diagrams and the whole operations plan (FREMO Himmelfahrtstreffen Cloppenburg 01.-04.05.2008) and all I can...
Wonderful pictures. Looks like everyone had a good time. I can see from the photos that there was some kind of operations (timetable and train...
