		americaN comes again with a completely new Fremo-module-arrangement, which shows a perfect mix of landscape and indusitries on completely new built modules. Bernd Schneider from Waiblingen has created with americaN an operation-based modulesystem in N-scale. Topic of americaN – single-track trails in North America.
On Code55-tracks, as minimum standard, digital operations with NMRA-DCC and Loconet take place. The design and construction of the N-scale parts can surely match with manyH0-modules.

The layout City Limits from the group "Rivet counting is fun!" shows in an impressive way, how interessing and different a city-layout can be. In the popular H0-Scale locomotives and wagons pass the urban scene by also using the streets. This "Streetrunning" arrangement are the men around Martin Stierlen and Elmar Haug who restaged the layout very well with a lot of small scenes.

John Vogelaar from Ryssen in the Netherlands takes the visitors with his 0n30-Railroad Cold Creek in the world of the logging railroad.

The layout shows on a small space, that good opportunities exist, to have a good traction mode.



Also Z-Scale will be present again by Jürgen Tuschik and Manfred Forst who use the advantage of this small scale very well. So they built a very generosity but lovely detailed layout. So you may be curious about slim switches and nice scenery at Flaggstone, Missouri.

From Belgium comes the American Railroad Association Ghent.

On their long New Ponca Yard H0- layout run long freight trains. At the same time they inspire with their switching.

The industriebuildings are all selfmade and certainly unique.

The second layout with a name of Disney's movie is Pocahontas Lumber build by Freddy Laheye from Belgium in 0n30 scale. The layout presents a small woodmaking village with a small trainstation, an open sawmill and a few houses. All houses have been builded with real wood.


On the large H0-layout Pocahontas Mining Company King Coal has the power. Build in an a typical American style – with a big background – the thickly forested hills and the coal transports make a very good impression. The operator around Jürgen Funck and Michael Fuchs even load their long trains with real model-coal. A very impressiv spectacle!

A waterfall with real water, fog effects, lightning and thunder promise to get real different impression of a layout.
