Yesterday we visited the railway museum in Bochum-Dahlhausen. There was also an exhibition for garden railway enthusiasts. Two large halls were empty and there were several layouts and stalls. It was a very good event for me. I was especially looking forward to the G-gauge road railway layout built by Jens Huschina from Berlin.
...

That's it for this morning. There will be lots more photos from the model railways this evening.
Great photos, of a splendid model - you deserved your ice cream after keeping Mike amused!

Now the other photos of the railway model layouts. Since only 30 photos are allowed in one thread here in the forum, I have to split the report into two parts, sorry for that.

full

Am Eingang fand Ebay Mike diese Playmobjl Anlage.

full


full

On the North Sea, he found this idyllic harbour with a light railway.

full

Even the stubborn East Frisians took the time to talk to Mike.

full

The hunters were very surprised that someone had come out of the forest.

full

The passage of the gravel train with the Harz camel was very dusty.

full

A Garrage for old cars.

full

There was also a small tourist tram line in the city centre.

full

A new advert on this loco and Mile fell in love
full

What was that? A train with Minons.

full

The bloke knows no fear, only curiosity.

full

A signal box from a goods wagon was restored.

full

He gained an overview from a storage shed with a railway siding.

full

Where is the black sheep?

full

Here he is at a winding tower. I was even more interested in the light railway.

full

To get into the engine shed, there is even a small turntable.

full

A Schoolbus on a promotional trip for a classic car rally.

full

Attracted by the noise of the diesel engine, he conquered this locomotive.

full

But what could be better than the sound of a steam tram?

full

He almost didn't notice the mail train.

full

The engine of a Goliath tricycle is repaired here using simple means.
full

He was innocent, Baloo the bear had stolen the bananas. Unfortunately, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

full

He was also taken with this railway caretaker's house. I think he even got a bottle of beer there. Cheers.

full

That's what he gets for it. Dirty shoes on a peat digger.

This was the first prank, but the second follows immediately........

Here we are in the second part of his visit.


full

Mike has a talent for finding cute girls. I then took a different route to be on the safe side.

full

Old dirty boy, he can't leave it alone.

full

On the way, he met these two gentlemen. They were working in their garden and playing with the garden railway.

full

When will the next passenger train arrive?

full

Ah, now I know where he is. On the island of Sylt. There were four of this Borgward train.

full

The trolley was prepared for the next journey.

full

These things would be easier for his old bones.

full

He used this rail bus for a joyride.

full

At the other end, he saw this workshop.

full

He was allowed to visit the workshop at his own risk.

full

I had a lot of trouble keeping track of Ebay Mike, as he was already back in the USA.

full

He did what he wanted. I didn't stand a chance.

full

And who is the big boy now?

full

He didn't feel so comfortable in the city.

full

He rummaged for railway literature in the bookshop.

full

What kind of thing is that?

full

This lorry was also so interesting.

full

The funny campers invited him in at the end.

full

He rummaged through the scrap metal for a small souvenir. Thank God they were all too heavy..

full

Did I already say that he knows no fear?

full

He doesn't seem to accept rules either.

full

He didn't even care about the skeleton of a cow under his support. He climbed onto the Trestle Bridge.

full

In fact, he came off the bridge without any injuries and found this old train in a siding.

full

The man from the country with the Union Jack next to a Union Pacific diesel locomotive.
full

A flick of the finger and he was somewhere else again.

full

The only one who didn't work: Ebay Mike.

full

The workers didn't have time for him, or didn't speak English.

That was his tour of the exhibition. During the course of the day, everyone was talking about Ebay Mike. He was allowed to enter all the model layouts. Nobody said no to him.
There is still an open enquiry. We are still waiting for an answer. I think he will leave Germany in about 10 days and then travel to Belgium to railaddict?
