that was a lot of great information. anyone that wants to get started in free mow, just has to watch this video, height and width is given. and a look at what some people have done with theirs. very nice TY TSG.
Very, very enjoyable! A wide variety of interests in the hobby coming together to create a spectacular display. So much flexibility with this concept. I really liked this video John.
I thought FreeMo was born in Europe. The late great Wolfgang Duddler was from and in Germany and involved in FreeMo..Maybe what I saw (and this has got to be 5 yrs ago) was that Duddler was in the US..But I really don't think so. Coincidentally and ironically, 25+ yrs ago I was a member of the Belmont Shore MRRC in San Pedro, Ca, which created the very first modular MRRing with NTrak !!! I myself never cared for it, tho....M
I love this layout. If you could, please interview Ed again when he comes back because I’m starting to believe (unfortunately) that the reports of 3985 never coming back again are true.
It was explained by Chris at the start of this layout tour. If you missed that part, you could watch again or just do an online search. Google is your friend! Let us know what you find out. :)
Hello Charlie, Free-Mo is based on "the Friendship of European railway modellers (FReundeskreis Europäischer MOdellbahner, FREMO)" and is a modular rail transport modelling standard originating in Germany in the early 1980s. In 1995, the North American Free-mo standards were based on those of FREMO, with a number of changes made to make it more compatible with North American standards and measuring systems. It allows modellers to take active part in creating and operating large layouts even if one doesn't have much room at home. In this way you can build just a section of a large layout and be an active part of it. Pure Synergy. :-)
Thank you. I knew if I kept viewing these videos, someone would define Free-Mo.
Very cool. Love to see the passion in the host and interviewees.
wow I drive by that cement module on my way home from work. Awesome!
very well put together, from intro to knowledge needed for advanced builders. good job
Nice video..John! Awesome job narrating..Chris! "Best Hobby In The World" MoPac Jack Model Railroading Is Fun!
Thanks TSG and all the Free-Mo participants.
That was a real privilege to see all the modules and the folks that created them... there is a lot of passion going on!
Incredible!
Wow! Free-Mo. Great concept!

Very nice layout modules, would like to pay a visit soon
Very cool layout.
Wow this looks good for a modular layout!
Fabulous video! I’m thinking about going modular rather than permanent home layout that way my kids can take it with them. 😉
That was awesome. I hope you get a chance to do a video on the Silicon Valley Free MoN guys. Rick does some beautiful work.
I wanna go to a place there so bad

Where can I find that signal system?
I love this layout. If you could, please interview Ed again when he comes back because I’m starting to believe (unfortunately) that the reports of 3985 never coming back again are true.
Hi, please explain what Free Mo means and what is it?
