Tilman - Trainpages
I used to have Märklin model railroad as a young boy. I remember very well when my parents took me to a toy-shop in the German town of Braunschweig where I was given parts to it. The H0 Märklin trains are nice to play with as a kid (pretty solid) but if you want to build up more detailed landscape I do not like them.
I was
caught by trains as a young boy. Trough my father but also when we
visited my grandparents in Braunschweig. I got a simple camera by a
friendly woman living in the house of my grandmother. Allthough a simple
camer.See the nice pictures I took at that
time.
Here a homepage in
the german language covering the Gliesmarode area.
I
still active as a railwayfan in various areas.
In full scale railroading on Uppssala
Lenna järnväg and Gotlandstaget.
Some
pictures from my activites.
The
local railwaystation Kungsängen
The
station was built 1876 and its main purpose was to be a meeting point
for the iron-transportations from Bergslagen. Here
you have some documentation from the station.
With model railroading. Mainly with building and operating modules within the team MMM (Mälare ModulMöte)
The modules
projects are:
Gliesmarode. A
4 meter module (4 x 1m sections)
Z-scale modules together with my friend Anders Delstam.
Right now I´m working on gathering information and material to build a couple of modules for H0n3 narrow track modules. The reference are the 891mm tracks in Uppsala and Gotland.. are you surprised... ;-)

My other railway
- "hometown" is Gotland and in a way Klintehamn.
It
all started for me with being active at the
museum in Dalhem Gotland. Starting about 1976.
I´m active as a trainleader. 2008 I passed my exam.
Aug 6 2008 I finally had a oportunity to join for a day in the traffic on Gotland.
My brother in law
did shoot a video that you can look at below.
