Friends of American Railways are coming to the Railway Model and Model Exhibition - four friends Erik, Marko, Ludvik and Bogdan, passionate modellers, lovers of American model railways!
The idea of a new modular railway model came about after Erik announced the creation of a diorama from the movie 'The fugitive'.. Bogdan followed up on the idea with the remark that the new model should be made from the remains of the old model. The remaining friends joined in creating a new model so that everyone took care of the content of their module, which were eventually connected to each other by a functional railway line, roads, hills.
The idea then resulted in a new railway route, which they named "Greece River Junction".
The modular model consists of 10 modules of different sizes in the H0 system that can be assembled or disassembled in a relatively short time and is therefore more than suitable for exhibitions. The length of the model is 7.5 meters, and the depth is up to 1.3 meters. The railway tracks are at a height of 1 meter, which also allows children to easily see the entire model and the running of the trains.
Various time periods are presented in terms of content, from the end of the 19th century (wooden sawmill, wooden permanent bridge) to modern times (nuclear power plant, gas station).
The model has a very diverse representation of nature - hills with steep rocks, forests, grasslands and meadows, semi-deserts, waterfalls and rivers, rough seas, bridges and tunnels.
The model presents four different techniques of modeling, building and making objects and rocks, painting, recreating, imitating nature and landscape.
Along with excellent modeling and attention to detail, the mockup is also electronically perfected. Train control is digital (DCC), and 25 meters of rails and several switches are used. Many light effects (more than 250 LED bulbs in total) were installed in the nuclear power plant, railway signals, lighthouse, gas station.
It took 2 months to make the middle five modules, and an additional 2 months for the two modules at both ends. The nuclear power plant was built for more than 6 months.

That impressive layout was the first right next to the entrance
