A German-style model railway in 1:87 scale
The technology behind the model railway
Anyone serious about model railways knows that stability, flexibility, and expandability are essential. That is exactly where the Dinamo system excels. And just as importantly: the Dinamo control system essentially consists of only 3 different components to control your analog and digital trains as well as all accessories: the RM-C, TM44, and OC32. This keeps the system very straightforward.
Partly because of this, Dinamo easily grows along with your model building hobby: you simply add more of the same components. The name DINAMO stands for Digital Interface Network for Analog MOdel railways.
The term "Analog" here stems from the distant past, because in addition to the original analog concept, Dinamo now also supports the DCC protocol. This hybrid control makes Dinamo unique: you can run old analog locomotives alongside the latest digital models without any problems, right on the same track, mixed together.
No expensive or complicated conversions needed – just put your rolling stock on the rails and drive.

At Waldbrunn station, I’m going to use Viessmann semaphore and shunting signals. Now, they’re quite realistic as they are, but there’s still some room for improvement. During a visit to the German station of Meppen, just across the border near Emmen, I found a setup with 4 semaphore signals and
Noch has produced a whole range of fun and beautiful bridges made from lasercut cardboard. I think this truss bridge looks great as an entrance on the right side of the station. That’s why I chose the NOCH 67029. As mentioned, it’s a lasercut cardboard kit. I was actually quite
This time, I’ve hidden the wires I soldered in Part 1. As mentioned, I always solder the wires neatly to the sides. Today, I routed them downwards following a few simple steps: Quite boring, but that’s all there is to it. I did make another timelapse and took some good
