Model railway days “between the years” at the railway museum
On 28 and 29 December 2024, the Darmstadt-Kranichstein Railway Museum will once again be holding its traditional Christmas Model Railway Days from 10 am to 5 pm. The focus will be on the exhibition and demonstration layouts as well as the museum’s numerous other models and showpieces.
