  • Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
  • In June we operated our first public FreeM009 meet up in Melbourne! With 32 modules which made about 40 meters of track!
    We had modules from all over Victoria and one all the way from South Australia and members of different clubs from Australian Model Railway Association - Victorian Branch, Sunbury Model Railway Club, Ballarat District Model Rail Club, NMRA - National Model Railroad Association, and the The 009 Society! As well as The Train Girl with her stand and module!
    We value your feedback, so please feel free to leave a comment, and if you haven't already, consider subscribing for regular updates. We'll return next month with more captivating news from the world of model railways in Australia.

    I genuinely think the whole freemo setup is crucial to the entire hobby, no matter what scale it is. Allowing people to do as they wish with no judgement. No matter who you are, what you like, you can just have fun, and that’s something I think people forget to do and take too seriously. We just all have to have fun. Great stuff will awesome video as always.

      I think it is one of the best ways forward because it reduces the barrier to entry, but also fosters the social aspect of the hobby. It allows for the flexibility that you can't get from more traditional club layouts and memberships.

    Will, great update on an exciting new initiative. It looks amazing, and sounds like it is getting a big take-up.
    Good luck with it all, and I will follow progress with keen interest.
    Thank you for the update, and sharing, cheers, and stay safe, Michael

    Woohoo, good on ya Will! A warm welcome to the BRMA, my friend! This year is ten years since joining the BRMA and I have to say it is the best group where one can learn a lot from and have some really awesome mates as well, some whom I call almost family to me. So, on that note, I look forward to catching up in Victoria in October for the convention!
    Keep well. Regards, Caleb

      Thanks Alan! We’re certainly keen to see where it goes!
      I’d still love to see Free-Mo Ho get off the ground but there was nothing but fighting and groups simple refusal to work together was pretty disappointing which is one reason we went down this path!

    Pretty fkd. A whole lot of benchwork, next to nil realistic scenery or self-bourne structure & a whole lota 'yes-mate' & photography that shows off someone else's skill at creating realistic models.
