German Wonderland

[muggle not]

Model railroading gone wild !!!  What started as a hobby is now a multi-million Euro a year business.

If I ever visit Germany this will be on my bucket list.

 

UPDATE ON A GERMAN WONDERLAND

There have been little clips about this place for the past few years, it is  still not finished but is growing to that conclusion as they will soon run out of space.

A short review, it was started by two brothers as a place to show their hobby, it started growing  by leaps & bounds. 

Soon they were joined by other 'Model  Railroad Clubs' and other crafts-men. Some were electricians, model makers, carpenters, computer programmers. 

Their wives would stop by to see what they were doing and usually bring them a lunch.

One thing led to another; three of the ladies had worked at a bakery; several visitors would ask if they had a  snack bar.

The idea was planted: some of the carpenters came and  built a nice restaurant area for the bakery and a kitchen too. If the fresh coffee smell didn't get you, then the bakery definitely would. This was about five years ago.

One of the Breweries came and furnished all of the tables and chairs, serving counter, etc. Their latest  finished area is the airport. Planes look like they are flying and landing.
