Christmas model railway days 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. The focus will be on the “Lehrstellwerk” and “Darmstädter Hauptbahnhof 1846” exhibition and demonstration layouts as well as the museum’s numerous other models and showpieces. There will also be a small model railway exchange organised by our model building group. The large uniform exhibition and the superstructure exhibition will also be open. The event takes place in the heated museum building. There, the cafeteria invites you to a cosy get-together in a historical ambience. Due to the winter break in the open-air grounds and engine shed, it is not possible to view the original vehicles.
Admission is free, but donations are welcome.
The volunteer members of the association look forward to welcoming many visitors!
