Very nice model!

[ETR301]

Good morning dear friends, I inform you about last news on ADe. There has been a little delay in delivery some components of railcar, so the all parts’ll be available next week. Models delivery will start on early January; first the kits, and then the complete model. Requests for the models have been higher then pieces availables, so a new amount of Ade has being produced to satisfy the bookings, and if someone wants, can add his booking to new list. Next days, on website will be added new photos, to can appreciate details of Ade, and a video to see the railcar while running (the model shown in photos on website is incomplete of various details and not well finished, is usefull just to have a general view of the Ade; final model has a definitely higher quality, as you’ll can see soon)). In the meantime, if you ought to have some questions, write me without any problem.
Then, works on our “Sardinia Modular Layout” go on; we are building new modules, and detailing the existing, and on march we’ll expose them during the “Verona Toys Fair”. If someone want to build a layout, we’ll be happy to add it with our when we’ll meet in Verona, or in other Fairs in Italy or round Europe.
Best regards from Sardegna, and a Great and Happy Christmas!

Hello dear friends, I inform you about last ADe news. Now, as I wrote in website too ( http://web.tiscali.it/seven_prog_mecc ), there was a delay of some suppliers in making available some components. So, in this time, I had possibility to improve some parts of railcar (mainly electric). I've studied a really small pcb, completely hidden under floor. This pcb has four microswitch, that allow to drive some functions in analogic (front and rear lights - white and red - and inside lights); then, by a 6 pin plug, it's possible to install a mini decoder like the Uhlenbrock 73410. I insert here an image to better show this little pcb, and ask me if you have questions.
Have a nice day!

Good evening friends, at least ADe kits are ready and available for delivery (most heavy part of the all work has been to try to limit suppliers delays! ). On http://web.tiscali.it/seven_prog_mecc news'll be soon available. In the meantime, I show you the images of railcar assembling scheme. If you have questions or curiousity, ask me about them.
Regards from Sardegna!

Hello, in the image below a first prototype of motorized chassis, made for a little production of trams that some friends are doing. As you can see, chassis material is plexiglass, cutted by laser, and the modular components of ADe mechanics are used to assemble it. I think it could be usefull to make little series of models among friends.
Then, last new, on 14 April the final model of ADe'll be presented in a meeting here in Sardegna, and it'll be possible to see it by video in internet.
See you soon!
Stefano

wow, looks nice...

Hello. As I wrote in previous message, ADe presentation'll be done during a Railway Fair here in Sardegna. So, this fair has been moved from 14 april to 27-28-29 april, and ADe presentation'll be done in those days too. But, while we wait to can see ADe in the fair, I'll show you something of her, in the meantime. So, in this video: http://vimeo.com/39684183 you can see the mechanic tests and, as you can see, ADe is able to travel up to 12% gradients, coupled with two dummy railcars.
To make tests more hard, the mechanics components haven't been lubricated, and they are silent in this conditions too (noise in the video is higher than real, because videocamera amplifies automatically low noises when videos are done in a silent place).
Then, about Sardegna Railway Fair, I'll send you photos and videos, hoping you'll like it.
Best regards from Sardegna!

Hello Thorsten, kits are now available and now I'm delivering them. First railcars have been taken from modellers here in Sardegna (because they were the first to know of the new model, and so the first to book it; now they are working on their railcars ), but now the all ADe railcar kits are ready, and so available for all modellers.
Regards from Sardegna!

Hello, I'm going on with metric railways program! Last days I've started production of the coach for the railcar ADe. I show you an image of RPe body prototype. These models'll be ready in july. On website http://web.tiscali.it/seven_prog_mecc all the infos, and a little present for those that are giving trust to my work.
Regards from a sunny Sardinia!

Bei der GSB ist mittlerweile ein exotischer Triebwagen aus Sardinien eingetroffen, welcher nach seiner Aufarbeitung und Neulackierung in der GSB-Werkstatt den Fuhrpark bereichern soll:



Nur muß dieses Projekt wegen Überlastung leider noch etwas nach hinten geschoben werden...

Hallo Matthias!

so ein ding ist bei mir auch angekommen - allerdings bin ich mit der Antreibs-Lösung eher unzufrieden...
muss erst fertig schnitzen und sehen, ob meine Adaptierung der beiliegenden Komponenten brauchbar ist.

Bin neugierig, wie es Dir dabei geht

Hallo Peter,

dann bitte ich um einen Erfahrungsbericht hier - bei mir wird es wohl noch etwas länger dauern... Und wenn Du eine gute Lösung bzw. Tips hast, muß man ja das Rad nicht neu erfinden...

Gruß Matthias

[fairlie009]

eh klar!

[ETR301]

Peter, Matthias, I'm trying to translate what you wrote, but translation is too bad and I don't manage to understand if you are finding difficulties in assembling (and, expecially, which difficulties). Please, before going on with work, translate me in english your messages, to avoid any error. Railcar can be assembled without problems, and we'll solve each of them, don't worry!

Hello Stefano,

Peter only wrote, that he istn't fully pleased with your drive mechanism concept and that he will try to change your drive mechanism or construct a different drive mechanism that is adapting your drive components.

Best regards,

Ingo.

Hello Stefano,

my only problem is time... So at the moment I can't start with the model...

Regards,

Matthias
