As the trade fair company has now announced, the Intermodellbau trade fair will be postponed due to the current development of the Covid 19 pandemic and the associated official measures. The next edition of the world's largest trade fair for model making and model sports will take place from Wednesday, 17 to Saturday, 20 November 2021.

Shortly after the Second World War, people in Germany had other things to worry about than building model trains. With the Flying Hamburger on a self-built track system, there is a history that should not be completely lost. Especially since there were already functions built in that do not exist in gauge 1 to this day.

MBW has the first pictures of the production version of the Prussian G 8². The models are scheduled for delivery in March 2021. The photos are promising.

Frozen turnouts blocked rail traffic in Germany, where normal winter weather that didn't affect rail traffic in the past was immediately hyped up as "snow chaos". Elsewhere, people are simply pragmatic and have ideas. Even if they are not particularly environmentally friendly.
