8 Week: 18 December, 2000 ÷ 24 December, 2000It's the season! We'll
work until December 23rd; after that we'll take a rest until January 1st, 2001. The first material orders are out to the various manufacturers
and suppliers. During the next days, hundreds of kits will arrive from Faller, Pola, Vollmer, Kibri, and Auhagen. 6 people will have
a lot to do for the next 8 months assembling all these kits. We use the days off to push the planning phase.. Gerhard Dauscher and Theo
Eichenseher form a Team to draw the second building phase. We still don't know yet which kind of wiring we'll use for 20,000 lighting fixtures
on the layout, and most important, how to document the wiring! Although the fixtures become relevant early March only, the planning has to be
finished in time. We also test the various possibilities to install head- and taillights into 3,000 cars! Das gab es mit Sicherheit
auch noch nie! Jedes Auto, welches auf der Straße ist, wird bei der Nachtsimulation leuchten! |
