HO-scale model |
|
Our first model for joint use was at an HO-scale. As many of the founders were HO- supporters this was just a logical sequence. This model was our first exhibition specimen in the GLASS PAVILION in Pirna in 1968. |
|
In 1981 we started a new project which measured 12 x 3m, for joint use, but has never been finished. Following the strong desire of the majority of the members, we started again a new model on a large scale for joint use in 1995. In April, the same year, planning started for 6 segments. Two main tracks independently functioning and towards opposite directions make out the picture of the HO- segment model. The model, measuring 12.6 x 1.3 metres with 180m entire length of rails and with 40 courses has been equipped with an overhead cable so that E-locomotives can be operated according to standards with an equipped pantograph. |
|
On this main trail 20 trains can be taken into operation simultaneously. The yard in the background, which has two rails and is fully automated, serves for a change in the order of trains and offers a welcome artificial break for the locomotives. Different signals are enabled to be shown on the trail block system. |
