Freemo N group

Well the modules are coming along nicely. The Frames for (2) 5' modules, 1 corner and (2) 1' stub ends are built. I have the deck on a 5' and the 2 stub end. Track is 50% in on those modules. My layout is slowly being cannibalized, on the plus side the modules will fit back in place of the layout. I have for years wanted to have a home layout and a freemo-n modules, but lacked the time and energy to maintain both. I recently decided which one should go. The premise of the freemo-n modules is the same as the layout, just on a smaller scale. It is a small shortline the leases power from the Union Pacific, they also run a tourist railroad on the weekends. The railroad is based on the Yellowstone Branch of the Union Pacific. I am also helping a friend with his hobby store, so go Visit the DCC Shop at www.dccshop.com and tell him I sent you. He caries mostly DCC supplies and track, but he can order just about anything else you need. If you are interested in becoming a Member of our Freemo-N group, please drop me a line, and I will tell you where we are meeting, (my garage right now)
