History of the Model railway from yesterday to the present days.
The model railway museum is a meeting place, where the railway-engines stand on their heads and run lying on their backs with the true sounds of whistling, puffing and blowing and with many surprises in store. You will be reminded of your childhood and forget your everyday worries when you see these steam-engines.
Answers to many questions
Do you know what a glass marble-race is and how it works? Or why the model-engine in the museum does not fall down from the ceiling? How many tons of coal does the fireman shovel into an engine's furnace? Or what is a reed-contact? Do you know the future of the Railway and Container-Transport or the speed of the modern fast trains of today?
