Lectures and more
The Model Railway Forum presents a wide range of expertise and a broad spectrum of topics, offering something of interest for every visitor. This diversity enables participants to take home a knowledge advantage. As an additional highlight, episodes of the popular program Eisenbahn-Romantik will be shown.
Hands-on activities for everyone
At FASZINATION MODELLBAHN, visitors can also take part in the action themselves: at the Junior-College Europa, for example, children and young people are introduced to model railroads by building and playing independently at stations that build on each other in a sensible way. Under the guidance of experienced students from the Thomas Mann Gymnasium in Stutensee, they build their own small diorama and learn everything they need to know to creatively design their own layout – at eye level: from young people for young people. Meanwhile, parents can take a relaxed stroll through the halls. And at the end of the day, everyone can take their diorama home with them.
At the LEGO table with the track circle for the clamp building block cars, everyone can give free rein to their creativity and build the craziest vehicles. And with the wooden train set, exciting routes can be put together and played with extensively.
The play area invites children of all ages to linger and play with PIKO garden railroads and H0 model railroads. The clamp block cars in both track sizes provide creative driving fun and offer the ideal introduction to the fascinating world of model railroads. Children can also individually paint an H0 or garden railroad carriage at the PIKO stand.
Model railroad fun for children and young people
The non-profit association Eisenbahnfreunde Mannheim e.V. is committed to bringing children and young people closer to the subject of railroads. They will be presenting themselves at FASZINATION MODELLBAHN Mannheim and have some great offers up their sleeves. They will be presenting a Fischertechnik module in combination with a garden railroad, a nostalgic miniature carousel from 1956, glitter tattoos for children and a craft activity. For this special occasion, every child who visits the stand will receive a free children’s ticket for Germany’s largest reptile zoo, the Reptilium Landau.
