The Model Railway System of Josué Droz, 1925-35Completely made by hand: An absolutely unique masterpiece of Swiss precision engineering. and a spectacular work of a lifetime! For centuries, La Chaux-de-Fonds in the Swiss Neuchâtel Jura has been regarded as an instrument-making center of excellence, producing precision engineering, clocks, toys and musical boxes of the highest quality, some of which are now exhibited in the famous horology museum in La Chaux-de-Fonds. The La Chaux-de-Fonds district is also the birthplace of the renowned horologist Pierre Jaquet-Droz, whose three `androids` can be seen in nearby Neuchâtel. It is not by chance, then, that the name of the maker of this unique model railway system now offered for sale, is Josué Droz, a citizen of La Chaux-de-Fonds. Although we do not know the precise family connection between the two Droz engineers, the spirit of the master is evident in this remarkable model railway! Born in 1895, Josué Droz began work on the construction of his scale model railway station installation modeled on the SBB - Schweizer Bundesbahn (Swiss Federal Railways) - when he was thirty. As a trained cabinet maker, he was familiar with precision modeling and devoted every free minute of his time to his meticulously-planned master work. It was not completed until 1936, eleven years and an unbelievable 18,000 man hours later. His complete railway station system, faithful to the original in even the smallest detail, remains absolutely unique throughout the world, surpassing the finest commercial brands in its precision and quality. Droz designed and built the system himself, sometimes in consultation with well-known Swiss engineers and specialists. The system is designed to a scale of 1:30 (48 mm gauge), thoroughly thought out and executed with outstanding skill and care, and lacks absolutely nothing when it comes to originality and accuracy of detail. Its overall size is an impressive 6 x 16 meters (96 sq. meters/approx. 1,000 sq feet)! In November 1936, whilst the effects of the world recession were still being felt, the complete system was exhibited for fourteen days by the municipal Documentation Office for Trade and Engineering, the first and only time that it has been seen by the public, in the old Apollo Cinema Theatre in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Since that time, the complete system has rested in sturdy custom-built upholstered wooden boxes, protected from humidity and cold, in the attic of its creator in No. 17 Rue de la Réformation, La Chaux-de-Fonds, until it was discovered by ATB and made known to the public. This important model railway represents the golden age ideal of a truly public transportation system which transformed the world during the first part of the 20th century. Words are not enough to describe the precision, accuracy, perseverance and patience, the great talent, which Josué Droz devoted to creating his masterpiece.

La Chaux-de-Fonds im Schweizerischen Neuchâteler Jura gilt seit Jahrhunderten als das feinmechanische Zentrum der Welt für absolute Präzisionsinstrumente - vor allem von Uhren, Spieldosen und Musikautomaten - in allerhöchster Qualität, was noch heute das berühmte Uhren-Museum in La Chaux-de-Fonds auf eindrucksvolle Weise repräsentiert. Mit dem Ort La Chaux-de-Fonds ist auch der Name Jaquet-Droz verbunden - der Erbauer der bis heute unerreichten Automaten. Seine Meisterwerke sind dort und im nahegelegenen Neuchâtel ausgestellt. Nicht von ungefähr steht der Name des Erbauers dieser einmaligen Modelleisenbahn-Anlage, Josué-Droz, als Bürger von La Chaux-de-Fonds, in enger Verbindung zu dieser Hochburg der feinmechanischen Präzisionswerke, obwohl wir bisher nicht konkret den Verwandtschaftsgrad zu Jaquet-Droz erfahren haben. Aber eines ist sicher, sein fachliches Wissen und sein handwerkliches Geschick hat der berühmte Automaten-Konstrukteur Jacques Droz seinen Nachfahren vererbt. 1925 begann Josué Droz als 30-jähriger mit dem Bau seiner maßstabsgetreuen Bahnhofsanlage der SBB - Schweizer Bundesbahn. Als gelernter Tischler war ihm präzises Modellieren vertraut. So widmete Josué Droz jede freie Minute seinem akribisch geplanten Meisterwerk, das er erst 1936, also schließlich erst nach elf Jahren und unglaublichen 18.000 Arbeitsstunden, fertigstellen konnte. Originalgetreu bis ins kleinste Detail hat Josué Droz eine komplette Eisenbahnanlage konstruiert, die weltweit bis heute absolut einmalig ist und die jedes Markenprodukt in Qualität und Präzision übertrifft. Man kann sie nicht mit Worten beschreiben, man muß sie gesehen haben, um zu begreifen, mit welcher Präzision und Detailliebe, mit welcher Ausdauer und Geduld und mit welch großem Talent Josué Droz dieses Meisterwerk geschaffen hat. Droz` Modellanlage ist im Maßstab 1:30 (Spurweite 48 mm) konzipiert, bis ins einzelne Detail durchdacht und sorgfältig von Hand gefertigt. Die Gesamtmaße der Anlage betragen überwältigende 96 qm (6 x 16 m)! Namhafte Schweizer Techniker und Spezialisten berieten ihn, den geschickten und genialen Modellbauer. Im November 1936, noch unter dem Einfluß der Weltwirtschaftskrise, wurde die Anlage erstmals - und einmalig (!) - für 14 Tage im alten Apollo-Kino in La Chaux-de-Fonds von der städtischen Dokumentationsstelle für Technik und Gewerbe ausgestellt. Bis 2002 ruhte die gesamte Anlage in stabilen, maßgeschneiderten und gepolsterten Holzkisten - optimal gegen Feuchtigkeit und Kälte geschützt - auf dem Dachboden seines Schöpfers in der Rue de la Réformation No. 17 im Schweizerischen La Chaux-de-Fonds, bis sie von ATB entdeckt und der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht wurde. Die gesamte Anlage spiegelt die unvergessene Epoche der seinerzeit überaus fortschrittlichen Errungenschaft der unbegrenzten Fortbewegung der 20er Jahre: eine beeindruckende Erfindung und Einrichtung, die bis heute ihre Nutzbarkeit bewiesen und erhalten hat.
