<p>Good Evening!</p> <p>I am back from my trip to the Fremo HOn3 group meeting. I am still overwhelmed by the hospitality those guys gave me. I even got to operate one of the trains - with all the works, train order, car cards and switch list. They also answered the million questions I had. The layout was set up in a large room in the Hannover Streetcar Museum. Seeing all those old streetcar was a bonus to a great day! I too quite a few pictures, which I will upload tomorrow. I am doggone tired now and my feet and back are killing me!</p> <p>One of the members had acquired the modules the late Wolfgang Dudler built. It was sad to see them without him being around!</p> <p>Today´s conclusion is that I will build one or two modules to take to the occasional meetings, not as my "permanent" layout though. I will also convert my T-12 to DCC to be able to run it during the meetings, but that will be about all I´ll be doing in HOn3. All of the group members have separate layouts of their own - one of which cam be sen in this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjX1J6Fk8GM">video</a>.</p> <p>YGW - that incline is a little steep for a Shay to pull or push a string of cars uphill. It´s a 25% grade ...</p> <p>I am going to grab some food ang get a rest now!</p> <p>Have a happy one!</p>
