Well, the view of the locomotive maintenance work area was interesting while it lasted. Tools, grease and dirt, loco parts, coffee/tea, lots of clutter. I'm sure like many of our work tables. |

I will repeat once again post on maintenance without mentioning friend who is working on it  A layout is constantly over 100 locomotives (up to 150) and around 1,000 wagons. Program management (Win-Digiped) measured while driving each locomotive and when assembled 40 hours warning that it is time for service.  Always has and contingencies with failures so that the desk too expensive and models  When the wagon is lubricated axle and possibly changing buckles and installed lighting (for those who do not)  Installation example of miniature LED lights to table lamps wagon restaurants  Additionally placed small figures of passengers  Video of installing lights in the coach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJgl8p8auu4&t=258sOn the smaller layouts that times go months and years until expensive 40 hours of driving on such a large layout of daily work and lots of stripes (over 1, ooo meters) locomotives device schedule in 3-4 weeks!

They are elements of the road on a large layout which will have a length of about 300 meters  Each item will have its own power supply for wireless transmission because it is impossible to make such a big circle  Each part must have the same frequency and should be brought into line capacitors  Built for the trial and the part where the trucks themselves to enter the carriages  The composition will be with more wagons and trucks will go alone to the last free space  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS7ffxyIeBkThis is already half finished part which will go to the layout  Micro switch at the end of the ramp stops train

A little look at what lies behind and below the mountain  According to the main station   One ruin is ready for installation on the layout  I shot all the old photos so I'm going back to this year where I stopped The small layout for road traffic has got its underground wireless power   Sensors are placed on the surface and the surface of the road is smooth   New road routes for the big layout are being created in the workshop

I'm really intrigued by the wireless power solution for the DCCar system.. is/will the way that solution works be published in some form? IE with what controllers the under-road conductors are powered, how to wind the under-vehicle pickups, etc?
I'd be interested in experimenting with that for my home layout (rather than batteries). |

I was in Zagreb for work wednesday and after I got back to the hotel tuesday evenig I googled for "Marklin shops in Zagreb" and the site of this layout came up as a result. After I finished my meeting I asked the taxi driver to take me to this address, in the center of town too.
I entered the place where the layout is and I discovered that the layout is undergoing a big maintenance schedule.
No trains runnning as of today, lots of works in progress but nonetheless the person I spoke with for an hour was very kind and avaiable to describe the technology behind it.
The layout had a Faller system for cars that they are now going to replace, they will be using cars powered by an induction system, so no more battries on board of cars, trucks and the lot.
I asked him what they thought of the Marklin's electrical motors for switches and he told me that to have reliability they had to "invent" something else and he showed me the new motors.
Mainly the base is made of perspex where they have cut out the room for a small servo, like the ones used on model airplanes, it is shaped so that it can fit under the board and they do not have to dig up the whole section if it should ever fail. I thought it was a work of genius.
Anyway the layout should be open with trains runnig before Christmas, so he told me.
If you are in the city and want to go and have an interesting chat it is worthwhile, plus Zagreb' city center is very nice.
I did not visit the adiacent shop as I did not want to spend any money, yet.
Ciao
Marco

In the summer, visitors were mostly tourists from all over the world, some stayed the whole day!  Group of tourists from India, enthusiasts of the railroad, which travels around the world and visit model railways, were in Zagreb with only one goal – to visit Backo Mini Express in Zagreb at Gundulićeva 4. In fact, located at this address since 2015. is the largest scale model railway in the Southeast Europe. Since its opening until today, it never ceases to attract the attention of visitors of all ages and nations. This is particularly felt during the summer, when there are many tourists in Zagreb, of which a large part comes to visit Backo Mini Express. Global interest in this little oasis of great creativity and manual labor, was registered this summer by tourists from around the world. Among them were tourists from India who found news about the largest scale model of the South-East Europe on the internet and decided to visit it this summer. Guests from India, as they admitted it themselves, came to Zagreb just for our model. When they arrived, they stayed with our trains for three hours. Almost everything in our area interested them, and they pointed out that they are travelling the world visiting model railways like ours. However, the Croatian model, as they say, is the most beautiful they had ever seen – said Antun Urbić Backo, creator and owner of the largest scale model project of the South-East Europe. As the development of models Backo Mini Express continues, already this autumn, visitors can expect numerous innovations, and Indian tourists announced that they are surely comming to Zagreb again to see what was added in the meantime.  A truck loading / unloading ramp was installed    The basements of the rooms are almost finished

Behind the Main Station are preparing numerous roads that will pass through the city  Parts of the city and roads are being completed in the basement   The descent into the basement is a bit decorated  Firefighters will fire here for intervention  The pines on Tomislavov Square received jewelry   Entrance to the underpass below the station   There are numerous kiosks on the tram stop

Thank you for your correction, as I'm not very skilled in English, I use Google translate that sometimes plays
