Du nouveau en Italie...

Quanti automotici ADe avete ?

[ETR301]

E molto bello ! mi piace molto la linea, e molto bella ! la casa cantonniera, il binario che si snoda tra gli alberi ... Mi piace questa bellissima clima ! siete il beetoven dai treni !

Grazie, e complimenti per il tuo italiano (adesso scrivo in inglese così anche gli altri capiscono )
Metric railways here in Sardegna are nice expecially thanks to the scenery; on website of Trenino Verde (the touristic train), http://www.treninoverde.com , you find some images and the trip catalogue to download.
About your question on ADe number, they are 20 (and 10 coaches without motor). They were acquired in 1958, and still today they are the main railcars of Sardegna metric railways.
Buona giornata, have a nice day!

Hello friends, the ADe has started its travels!.. At least, all the works on model have been completed, and the railcar is available for selling. From 16 december it'll be delivered according to booking or request order. If you like, you can have more infos and images on http://web.tiscali.it/seven_prog_mecc
Have a nice day

Good morning dear friends, I send you this mail to 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, at least I have news about ADe! 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,waiting for them, I had enough time 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 show an image, hoping it's enough well explained, but write me if you have questions o doubts.
Have a nice day!

very clever

[pk26]

Ce serait pas la norme NEM 651 pour les décodeurs 6 broches au lieu de la 652 ?

[ETR301]

Ops! Thanks for your note, I confirm you that plug is 6 pin, according to NEM651

[ETR301]

Hello dear friends, at least I can "announce" you that ADe kits are ready and available for delivery (let believe me, 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. I show below assembling scheme images of the railcar. Excuse me if images are small, it's maximum dimension possible on the forum. But, in this evening I'll publish them with bigger dimensions on Seven-Prog.Mecc website. In the meantime, if you have questions or curiousity, ask me without any problem.
Regards from Sardegna!

Dear Clement, dear Jean Michel, really thanks for your appreciation!
Below a photo of the railcars in Tortolì station (on Sardinia east cost, where the railway comes down from mountains and arrives to the sea).
Grazie

Hello, in the image below a first prototype of motorized chassis, made for a little production of trams that some friends are doing. Excuse me for little image dimensions, on http://web.tiscali.it/seven_prog_mecc website bigger images are available. 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
