Hi All:
Now it makes more sense....9 months to get everything ready...and possibly using a CAD program to set it up.
Being an N-Trak modeler at our club, I think the FROMO or FREEMO is really a great layout technique and allows for a super interesting layout. Our problem would be a space problem, being in a building (even though we own it) we have a limited amount of space and have to give the major portion to the HO guys. So we try and work with three tracks and 2' deep modules to get plenty of scenry and still be able to have industries, yards, stations, and towns. Plus when we set-up it is usually at a show and we have a limited amount of time, 4-5 hours to get set-up and ready to roll and an equal amount of time to pack up and go. The other limiting show factor we encounter is we have to maxmimize our vendor space....which means we need to compress our layout space and do not enjoy the luxury of a really artistic FREMO style layout.
Anywat, Great Work by the FREMO guys.
