Jack_Dunboyne

Some of you might remember my older son Adam who did attempt most of the show for the last 9 years, since he was 6 months old. 

As he got his first train set, he decided to build his first layout. 

Some first jobs done

Hello Jack ,

just took a loot and the box is code 100 but its all code 75 in there so I don't have any I'm afraid. sorry to get your hopes up.

 

No worries! I did order some in Poland. I should have it just after New Year. No rush

I presume you are in Dunboyne Jack, I have a good few flexi track 100 plus points spare but they will be destroyed in the post?

 

looks nice BTW

 

I usually order my flexes from Poland or UK, If put them together and wrap in thick carboard, they will be ok  Anpost will charge 9€ for next day delivery  If you have some spare, I will buy off some  If you could send me the list to PM of what you can sell it would be great.

4 modules fixed together. That's my battlefield for the next 2-3 months

I have small issue with the track. I cannot find PECO flex tracks (sl-100, code100) anywhere. Maybe someone have some spare to sale ? I need 4 of them.

WOW!! Was considering that myself, with an opportunity presented by a recent house move, but went for the attic instead, due to prior claims on garden space by the Dept. of Domestic Matters following a prior, and successful application to the DoDM by Mr. Dog to have use of the space......

Looks amazing - what size is it?

5x3 m. It's perfect for modular stuff

So I moved in Now waiting for the electrician and I'm fully set

Cabin log should be ready today  I'm moving in on Monday.

Bus stop before painting. 

New boxes are here

If someone wants to join me and Walter to build some FREMO, send me PM. 

Platform under construction. Approx. 1200 pcs per platform. That will take a while

It's time to prepare garages + some new tracks

The project is on hold for 2 weeks. New buildings and accessories are on the way and I should have it within a week or two (f"$%n covid).

There also will some interesting news regarding new flat packed modules soon.  stay tuned

Is TT gauge as popular in Poland as it is in the former GDR? I live outside Berlin in what was the former GDR. Half the stuff in my local model shop is TT but over the "border" in the former West Berlin you don't see nearly as much, even 30 years after reunification it's still N and H0 there!

TT is still more popular that N. 

Lunch time project

In the meantime - Old School public toilet - under construction

I like the idea of a modular system, but you'd probably want a modelling community in your area to make it feasable.

It's not nececery. The beauty of that is that you can build whatever you want and put that together whatever you want. For example I have a space 5x3 meters. I will fix there 2 end stations + nice peace of curved and straight tracks. if you have enough space you can make it as a round layout, if you are limited in space, you can do end to end one.
The most important is that you do not need a massive space to build it. You can see on my photos, that I'm usually work on single module at the time. 
They are easy to store and you can put them together when you want. Imagine the track from the living room, passing trough the kitchen, then to the hall, ending in the porch  

I think it's ideal when you want to start the hobby.

Meetings in bigger groups is the game changer at some point that's for sure, but it's not essential.

I assume that the scored lines are your guide for the point where the track enters and leaves, to ensure compatibility with your friend's modules?

Correct. 

I got price confirmation. The one you can see on my photos are 29 euro each. Legs not included. I'm preparing a full list of modules available. There is approx 25 different one right now. 

The tracks are here

Nice one, Something Different for a change, Always fancied the Polish stuff after seeing it in operation at the Dortmund show. Mind you I fancied everything else there too!

Is it just to Tracks or can you add a siding in as well?

How much are the 2 boards?

Any Locos on the Scene yet?

 

- you can add a siding if you wish. It all depends on used boards.

- the prices, again, depends on boards. The range is from 25 to 45 Euro. I will have a full pricelist within few days. You have to add a delivery cost - 25 Euro.

- As per locos - I'm waiting for a Santa  2 ordered so far

Still no tracks in my mail box

Some green updates.
