FREMO:87 goods traffic
„Every business that is to operate efficiently and economically requires a planned design and appropriate order. This is particularly true of public transport companies. They cannot fully satisfy the needs of the public if they only produce good services economically and reliably, which would be sufficient for a factory, for example.
The performance of a good public transport company must also be punctuality in the first place. It requires a particularly high degree of planned order, meticulous precision and strict adherence to the rules of duty, and all the more so because the operation of public transport railways not only serves local needs but also fulfills tasks that connect countries.“ (Fahrdienst auf Betriebsstellen - Stufe III, Eisenbahn-Lehrbücherei der Deutschen Bundesbahn, Band 47, Starnberg 1952, p. 24)
This quote applies particularly to freight transport. How this was handled by the German Federal Railways and the Dutch State Railways in the 1950s and 1960s can be read in the section prototype. The following article deals with the implementation into the model on our modular arrangements.Adaption FREMO:87

Guide to select the proper freight wagons

Januar 1960, S. 3)
The guide was compiled on the basis of this advertising brochure of the Deutsche Bundesbahn published in 1960: (Unfortunately only in german language)
Literature on railway operations focus on freight traffic
The operation on the FREMO modular arrangements tries to map the railway operation of the prototype as accurately as possible. But where can the interested model railway enthusiast get the knowledge about the prototype? Read more (Unfortunately only in German language)
