I used to have Märklin model railroad as a young boy. I remember very well when my parents took me to a toy-shop in the German town of Braunschweig where I was given Märklin parts.. The H0 Märklin trains are nice to play with as a kid (pretty solid) . Sold all of that ANd now I´m on H0 2 track digital controlled. .
I was
caught by trains as a young boy. Trough my father but also when we visited
my grandparents in Braunschweig. I got a simple camera by a friendly woman
living in the house of my grandmother. Allthough a simple camera I managed
to shoot a number of nice pics - See the pictures
I took at that time.
Here a homepage in
the german language covering the Gliesmarode area, where i did my shots..
I´m
still active as a railwayfan in various areas.
In full scale railroading
on Uppssala Lenna järnväg
and Gotlandstaget.
I have passed training and tests to be a on board responsible
for trainmovements. In Swedish it is called "tågbefälhavare"
- A title that could be compared to a captain on a ship. During 2012 -
2013 I´m doing trainin and certification to be a dispatcher/stationmaster.
A lot of responsibility. I love to challenged myself and be challenged.
The
local railwaystation Kungsängen
The
station was built 1876 and its main purpose was to be a meeting point
for the iron-transportations from Bergslagen. Here
you have some documentation from the station.
With model railroading. Mainly with building and operating modules within the team MMM (Mälare ModulMöte)
The modules
projects are:
Gliesmarode. A
4 meter module (4 x 1m sections)
Z-scale modules together with my friend Anders Delstam.
Right now I´m working on gathering information and material to build a couple of modules for H0n3 narrow track modules. The reference are the 891mm tracks in Uppsala and Gotland.. are you surprised... ;-)

You never know, there might come a huge loco to catch in the celeoloid.

My other railway
- "hometown" is Gotland and in a way Klintehamn.
It
all started for me with being active at the
museum in Dalhem Gotland. Starting about 1976.
I´m active as a trainleader. 2008 I passed my exam.
Aug 6 2008 I finally had a oportunity to join for a day in the traffic on Gotland.
My brother in law
did shoot a video that you can look at below.
Here you have a more recent video - Done Aug 12, 2010
Here is another, longer video done 2008 by Johan Olsson from the same track..
