The National Model Railway Museum
In the National Model Railway Museum you can not only observe model railways, but you can also let them ride!
On the large LGB railway for example. Then there is also the Fleischmann railway, on which as much as seven trains are riding. And have you ever seen a train riding on its side? This is all possible in the National Model Railway Museum . Oh yes, we almost forgot the Steam engines. At one time they were just as popular as computers are now. There are four steam engines you can put in motion by yourself. And about the computer: on this computer you can play the Railway Quiz in order to test your knowledge about railways. Finally you can relax from all your efforts, while you take place in our authentic first class compartment
Especially the children will enjoy pushing the buttons and letting the trains ride.
And everyone knows the story of the father who buys his son a railway and then cannot stay away from it himself. Visit the National Model Railway Museum and you will understand why.
