The model railway club I'm a member of in Norway usually goes on an annual trip abroad to visit some of the big model railway exhibitions on the Continent. This year we went to the hometown of Märklin, Göppingen in Germany to visit the combined 38th Internationale Modellbahn Ausstellung and the 13th Märklin days. As the name suggests it's mostly trains. - So perhaps not so much for wargamers, but slightly more for military modellers. Here are some impressions.
First some from the mandatory stop at the World's largest model railway layout at Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg. These models are made to 1:87th scale.
It's difficult to get an overview and impression of the total layout due to it's enormous size, but here are some photos of a H0 scaled 'model of the model' of one of the floors:
Here are some non railway impressions from Göppingen (click on images for larger pictures):

| The bridge over River Kwai was made to Z-scale/ 1:220 |

| These wagon-loads were made to G-scale in approx 1:29th scale, and FDM 3D-printed Model railroaders are not exactly without humor or not updated on the current situation either:    Off course I bought some stuff at the exhibition as well, which will keep me busy throughout the winter. Perhaps some of these projects reach this blog with a blogpost as well.  |
