Thanks for showing your pictures Baykal. Good to see an excellent British made layout over there too. I love that one with the sailing boats too.
Dortmund Intermodellbau..Aftermath
28
Hi Guys,
Back from Dortmund, the Mecca of all modelrail fairs.
It was truely an experience of a lifetime. Quite different from Nurnberg, larger in scale, sensational layouts, Seminars, workshops, new products and lots of modellbahn shops which sell all sorts of models and accesorries, quite bad actually for the wallet.
The fourth day we had a chance to visit the Eisenbahnn Museum at Dahlhausen , got a chance to ride a V200 in era 2 coaches and see a running steamer Br65
which was the highlight of the trip.(photo's will follow in another thread)
But first the show. Anyone interested of more detailed photo's of the stunning layouts can visit:
http://www.moba-online.de/imb2008/indx.htm
and can click on the Berichte's, my photos are not as good as Dougs, I used a Sony T3 and some are flue due to a lot of shouldering done and of backpackers.
A lot of hall's for the interests of everyone in all line of Hobbies.
For the airplane enthusiasts

all in huge hall's. Model rails was in Hall 6&8

The first thing that struck me when entering hall 6 was the MicroMetakit stand, They have produced some HO American outline diesels.Guess they are aiming for their hearts and wallets.

Oh how I was looking forward to buy the new Trix SNCF 150X but Trix guys told me that I had to wait till May and that only the Maerklin one is out in the shops. Therefore I just had to stare at it at their stand.

I have always wondered how the shadow stations worked on simple one mainline straight layouts. Two very fine examples:

As for the layouts my true winner was the Modellbahnfreunde Maifelt groups layot. Lovely Loco sheds and loco facillities

Grafenwelde from Tim Hale UK, shows you a minimal layout but with astonishing realism.

Tim Hale is a name I'm sure I've seen metioned before on the forum, a very nice little layout. If you're a member of MRF take a bow!

I was thinking along the lines of dieing of boredom while waiting for something to happen!
Overall looks like a good all round modelling show - not just raiways but a bit (lot?) of everything.
