FREMO in Finland
The first Finnish FREMO modules (yet using German prototype) were constructied in 1988, but FREMO did not catch the interest of modellers. The second wave started in 2001 when Johannis Likos showed his greek FREMO modules at Lahti exhibition. Later in 2004 Martin Janda from Zababov club studied at Helsinki University of Technology and introduced the FREMO concept to Tapiola club members. The most significant start took place under the leadership of Kari Hovinmaa and Johannis Likos, a small group of individual enthusiast from Tapiola club, got together and started the FREMO module construction. Today (end of 2013) we have 60 FREMO modules, including five stations, two fiddle yards and more are under construction ranging geographically from Helsinki to Oulu in the northern part of Finland.
FREMO-FIN Website
Here we describe in finnish what FREMO-FIN is all about: At the beginning a rather limited sub-section of original FREMO, localised to finnish environment.
We try to describe the basic features of module building and try to give help in bulding a FREMO module.
