8. Week: 18 December, 2000 ÷ 24 December, 2000
It'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! |
