Randy,
My father spoke German but didn't teach me. So when I became interested in
Euro Z, I started to study it. Meine Deutsch Sprache ein kliene schlecht
ist. Aber Ich bin Spass haben.
Gruss,

Hi Ysbrand,
Nur ein bissen. I had 4 years of Deutsch in high school 20 years ago and
never really used it. I've forgotten most of it but can still pick up a
little bit here and there. I don't understand most of the technical railway
terminology and have given up on trying to use translators since as you said,
they don't work that well.
I've been considering learning Deutsch again since I started up with Z scale
about 3 years ago, but my wife is half-Hungarian so I need to learn Hungarian
as well.
And, yes, my ancestors came from the Emden area three generations ago.
Thanks,
Randy Smidt

Verstehst du Deutsch en Nederlands. Do you understand German and Dutch?
Babelfish won't help you out with this kind of specialists documents.

As Bill said, Absolutely interested in European modules. I would like to
see info on the various standards used there as well.

Hello group,
Just let me know if there's interest in the Z-Bend group of seeing pictures
of the European Z-Scale Modules that will be shown at the Z Weekend in
Geseke, Germany, March 18-19. The modules are based on System J?rger, with a
depth of 40 cm. The smaller size of these modules compared to Z-Bend better
fits our smaller European homes than the very large American Z-Bend Modules.
For example, I couldn't get your modules down the stairs or by the way into
my European car.
And because even a depth of 40 cm is too big for many people here in Europe,
we are now also working on a 30 cm deep, single track branch line module
standard.
Just let me know if you are interested in photo's of our European modules,
and I will upload them after the show in Geseke at Yahoo.
Best,
Ysbrand

Subject: [Z-Bend_Track] Welcome to the Z-Bend Track, newcomers
If you haven't noticed, we've gained a number of new Z scalers on this list
in the last couple of weeks.
Welcome all.
The hope of this list is for the sharing of issues unique to modular Z
scale,
and in particular Z-Bend Track modules. Please look in the files area for a
few ideas, and feel free to add articles about things you may have learned
or
developed.
If its not there, ask. Several of us are capable and willing to put
together
a "white paper" about a wide variety of modular topics.
This list is NOT meant to detract from the general purpose Z_Scale list at
Yahoo. If you have items/information which are valued to ALL Z-Scalers,
then it
probably belongs on the Z_Scale list or the Z-DCC lists. I sure don't want
this list to ever, ever get up 1,000+ emails a month. Wow.
Nor is this list meant to detract from "regional" lists where local groups
of
modelers swap meeting dates, whos-bringing-what to the next show, etc. I
leave those groups to define what is "good" all by themselves and don't ever
interfere with their "natural" development.
Again, I hope that this list will be a reference place: a repository of
files
and photos of things that work in ZBT modules, and a place to share
solutions
unique to ZBT modules.
Welcome all, and keep those questions, files and solutions coming.
*** And most important: Build a module and use it a home !!! Have fun. ***
