🚂🇩🇪 So why did I travel to Stuttgart last weekend? I went to the IMA & Märklintage 2023 hat was held during three days in Göppingen, a nearby town. Among the different activities offered, it was possible to visit the #Marklin factory and learn how model trains are made!

🚧🇩🇪 During the IMA und Märklintage, it was also possible to pop into the facilities of the infrastructure construction company #LeonhardWeiss. Very interesting being able to take a close look at their new Siemens #Vectron locomotive and other machinery such as a tamper.

🛤️🇩🇪 A whole handball stadium was dedicated to narrow gauge train models, the dream of all those #LGB fans like me! There were different layouts and stands selling trains and accessories. In addition, the Preßnitztalbahn displayed a locomotive from its railway outside!

🚂🇩🇪 At Bahnhof #Göppingen, there was huge exhibition of trains from different eras and countries. It’s always impressive to see steam locomotives running! It was also a great opportunity to visit the cab of some trains and even get a ride on them. A wonder for any railfan!
