    Hi guys, I just happened to get to this small event with a weird name (it was because it was held in the John Deere factory in Mannheim).

    It was small, but there were two notable models on display.

    The first is a complete self built reproduction of an iconic tram from Rome (my hometown, and my favourite tram at that). Very peculiar to find a German guy getting all the effort for an Italian tram.
    These trams are still running after more than 70 years of service. More info, in Italian here

    The second, and very unusual is a TTe (that is 1:120 scale reproducing a 2 feet something narrow gauge using possibly Z scale tracks) with a working ferry.
    This reproduces a North Germany setting (North or Baltic coast)



    all very different from what you are used to see in North America.
    Happy vision.
