<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Thank you very much for your comments.
Some additional information.
This exhibition is every year from 25th October to 7th November, specially for children (They have school holidays in this time). At the exhibition children have the free 'master-classes' where they learn how to make grass on the layouts, trees and houses, and etc.
For example in the first picture shown the layout made by students from Ekaterinburg (Siberia).
The largest layout is module type in HO. There are parts from Moscow, St.Petersburg, Belgorod, Kiev (Ukraine) and Minsk (Belorussia).
We have companies which are producing HO and TT modells of Russian Railways of I-IV epoches:
Modell-Express (HO & TT), Teplushka (HO - I and II epoches, goods wagons), Peresvet (HO & TT), modelldepo (HO & TT). All are small-lot production. Sorry, I don't show internet address because all of them are in Russia.
We have a lot of people who makes the modells themselves.
Sorry, the N is not very popular in Russia that is why i feeling so ...
But in the next to last picture you can see the modells in N.
We have some modell shops in Moscow and St.Petersburg (may be in other cities but i don't know).
I think that some of the modells it is possible to buy but i should to talk with the owners.
In this year should be modell railshows in Ramenskoe (it is near Moscow) and in Semfiropol (Ukraine). I will try to visit Ramenskoe and make the new pictures.
PS. Special thanks to person who inserted the pictures.
No problem Vladimir, hopefully I will be able to go on holiday to Russia at some point and have a look at some of these model shops.
WMD (weapons of mass destruction) is a term which means nuclear, chemical or biological weapon. It became popular in usage when the Bush regime lied about these as a pretext to invade Iraq.
