Minibahn adventure in Emden: The last trip of the 2024 season!
Emden, Deutschland - Last weekend, many supporters of the mini railway were happy about a special event in Emden. As usual, the traditional Emder model vapor fans club organized its annual evaporating, which pragmatists can interpret as an unmistakable sign of the upcoming end of the 2024 season.
The Minibahner from different federal states, including Schleswig-Holstein and North Rhine-Westphalia, and from neighboring countries, contributed to the festive atmosphere. This not only expanded the fleet, but also offered an exciting variety that captivated the visitors.
insights into history
The presentation of a model edition of a German Feldbahnlok, which was built by Thomas Adler from Leverkusen, was particularly remarkable. As chairman of the steam railway club Germany, he was based on a historical model from 1944. The model tells a fascinating story, because the original locomotive was never used during the Second World War and was only used on narrow -gauge routes in Austria after the war."This locomotive has an eventful past," says Adler about his work, which is not only a technical but also a historical artifact. The remaining of the locomotive changed when it was brought back to Germany by a manufacturer from Bielefeld, called Walter Seidensticker. Seidensticker, known for its quality shirts, gave the locomotive a striking paint that became his trademark. "I took over the classic colors to give my locomotive a piece of their story," Adler explained to the interested guests.
For the Emden model vapor fans, a time of intensive maintenance and maintenance of the locomotives begins with the evaporation. This phase is necessary to keep the vehicles in perfect condition and prepare for future missions.
However, there are also bright spots: On the 2nd Advent, the club will show presence again at the winter steam market. "The winter steam market is small, but very familiar," says Reyk Gründig, the second chairman of the association. The positive feedback from the previous visitors make the anticipation for this event even greater.
The event in Emden is more than just a nostalgic event; It also offers a platform for exchange among model builders and steam railway enthusiasts. The community grows every year and interest in this special type of model building is kept alive. The history of the mini railway continues to be told and enriched with every new model that is added.
