About this book

This is a short guide written to try to help newcomers, especially those with little or no German language skill, to get to grips with FREMO.

The first section focuses on FREMO and what you need to know about a FREMO meeting.

Subsequent sections look at prototype and model and show how prototype practice is reproduced or modified for the purposes of a FREMO meeting.

Appendices give more about DCC and on German railway terms, and provide a selection of the sources consulted when preparing the book.

To reflect the interests of the UK FREMO group, the books concentrates on standard gauge railway practice in Germany in the period 1965–75. A large proportion of the information is applicable to a wider time period and a greater geographical area.
