americaN module meeting October 2010

FREMO - Meeting in Zuidbroek, Nederland

It was a huge meeting. In two halls:

In the first hall, there were layouts of HO-Europe, with HOe and HOm. I heard the rumor that this was 1.200m of layout(?) Operators and modules came from Nederland, Norway, Sweden, Danmark, Chech Republik, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, maybe more.

In the second hall, there were

  • americaN (see below)
  • 3 US Divisions including Chicago, the entral meeting point
  • gauge 1 (yes: very large, and impressive)
  • gauge 0m (with some 0)

 

This is the layout plan of the large americaN - module setup:
