Hobby Model Expo 2025 in Milan: the Rail, Naval and Air model event

Hobby Model Expo 2025 in Milan. Italy's largest Model -Rail, -Naval and -Air show. HZERO in Florence is one of Europe's largest Model Railways.

Just a couple of days after our MRC participated in the Sarpsborg Culture Festival,  some of the members went on tour again. Each year members of our Model Railway Club visit a Model Railway Exhibition somewhere in Europe. We try to go to different ones, but sometimes we visits the same shows with some years between. The planning of our 'the next' excursion usually starts immediately after the previous one, and we try to find new shows we haven't visited before. This year we certainly found 'something new' as we decided to go to Milan, Italy, to visit the Model Hobby Show there; Hobby Model Expo 2025, which is announced as Model -Rail, -Naval and -Air show.

This was the hall of the traders covering all aspects of modelling, not only model railways. I was surprised by the number of stands trading in all different diicast cars in several scales:

This hall was dedicated to model railway layouts in a lot of different scales and sizes. There were many really large modular layouts:

And there were 2 smaller halls to cover all sorts of military modelling in all scales, dioramas, wargaming and radio controlled models. Here are some impressions. Naval modelling first, as I have an interest of that these days:

Not all the naval models was of the too serious kind or built by a prototype:

There were several really 'large scale' figures, but this was one of my favorite favourites:

1:6 scale figures and RC vehicles:

There were also 1:12 scale radio controlled tanks fighting by shooting IR at each other. A kind of wargaming?

There were several stalls selling miniatures for fantasy wargaming:

In the diorama section there were also a lot of different dioramas, but I found one of the exhibitors making 'What-if' dioramas very interesting:

The greatest 'What-if ' diorama of all. For most.
This small H0 model railway layout by Märklin was one of my favorites. I really like small layouts and this one shows what can be achieved in a small space with out looking 'overloaded':

This Italian 3D-printed Station kit in N-cale (1:160), we actually passed when we were visiting Florence described closer in the latter parts of this blogpost. Even the train was coincidentally the same:

As already mentioned, I'm a big fan of small and simple layouts. These 2 N-scale layouts really captured the 'essence of Italy':

This Italian N-scale layout was built to a very high standard and really impressed me. The operators were really friendly too:

This Frontier Fort was made to H0 (1:87) scale, but there was no trains on 'the layout'. It was very well detailed considered the scale:

There were also areas for RC constructors...

So, did I buy anything at this exhibition?
Well, I found these Strelets sets I've been looking for for a while, but hasn't ordered online due to high shipping rates to Norway. These were only about € 11.50. I do not plan to use them for wargaming, but how I'll use them will perhaps be a future blogpost:

I also bought a couple of really cheap G-scale Gondolas for only € 30, which are cheaper than a single similar H0 model in Norway. What I'll use them for will be posted in a future blogpost:

The diecast bi-plane is 1:100 scale, and will look good next to a 1:87 scale figure, as 1:72 scale planes looks way too big in this scale. The motorcycles was a bonus:

HZERO Miniature Train Museum 

As we already were in Milan, we were only some 2 hours away from Florence by train. So we decided to go to Florence as well to visit the one of Europe's largest Model Railways; HZERO Miniature Train Museum. The layout is located in an old movie theatre and the entrance is indistinctive. The layout itself is not built as a plain Italian layout but to a German/Swiss/Austrian/Italian-ish mix. -But to a high standard though.

I really like small cameos on the layouts. It looks like it is a 'dads job' to steer the car. I wonder if he was responsible to fill fuel as well?

The museum shop was located in the old foyer:

  1. Epic post. My favourites were the Marklin winter set up, the big rail bus and the museum at the end. Thanks for sharing all this.

    1. Thank you very much, Alan!
      The Märklin winter layout was not the biggest nor the most 'complicated' layout on the show, but yet it was one of the most interesting ones I think. Perhaps it was due ut it's small size, simplicity and the fact that it was not too overloaded with details.

      The museum at the end; HZERO actually started as a private layout by a local businessman, who later joined another local businessman to expand their layouts together on another location. Due to many visits by people who wanted to see their private layout, it was decided to rebuild it to fit the movie theatre and move it to central Florence to display it to the public. -As a gift to the city (!).
      I wonder which was the last movie whent the cinema closed in 2000?

    1. Thank you very much for your nice feedback Maudlin Jack. The model railway in Florence has a very anonymous facede towards the city, but the inside - Wow! It's not only the enormous model railway inside, but the way they've restored the 1938 movie theatre it self. Worth paying them a visit if you're in the city.

    1. Thank you! I'm delighted that you enjoyed the blog-post. This show was not the largest one we've been visiting, but it was very versatile regarding different modelling hobby categories and it's tempting to revisit it in the future. Italy is a beautiful country and well worth a visit. Milan is not very far from Switzerland, so during this tour we made a short trip into Switzerland as well. Geographically close, but 2 very different countries as soon as you cross the border. I think our destinations in Switzerland this time might be interesting enough and a subject for an own blogger-post.

  5. Hello Roger. Some lovely stuff on show, but my prize goes to the simple yet colourful Marklin Christmas train. Wonderfully festive, and the perfect addition to a traditional Christmas tree!

    1. Totally agree with you!
      That layout was not the largest or most complex one on the show, but defiantly one of my favorites! Perhaps just of it simplicity.
      Thanks for reading and commenting Michael.
