Today is International Model Railroading Day so perhaps we should all be making an effort to run some trains or do some work on our layouts.

I opened up my layout draft in Scarm, made a couple of slight changes, and imagined how it will look once I get started building it. Does that count? Laugh

It was initiated by a German and most events are in Germany.
But Germany+Austria or Germany+Switzerland already make it International ...
Are there any events outside Germany?

It's always December 2nd and the following weekend. It started in 2015.
Regards
Tom

Some clubs here opened their layouts to the public, and a few dealers offered discounts, but otherwise it's more or less a day that passes unnoticed.

I've looked at my DRG sleeping carriage today and I said, damm, the interior light doesn't work properly, so I have to fix the electrical coupling and than set up a train consist with my Märklin classic BR E 1835 but hang on, I can't run trains because I've got all newspaper over a section of the layout (trying to get some roof insulation in the garage) but the video will come one day and hopefully before Christmas.

I see that Marklin have announced 20% discount on start sets bought at the Marklineum for the day. Probably cheaper to get a set from ones usual dealer though.
