The original Altezeitgruppe was founded to support modelling the DRG and the website can be found at www.altezeitgruppe.com. I founded the group in 1987 but in the mid 90s the name was re-cycled become 'Alte-Zeit-Gruppe' run by a Mr Shaw and his friends from the GRS. As a result of this we changed our name to Die Reichsbahn Gruppe as we wanted no comparison or connection with ourselves and the GRS and Mr Shaw's group but as we had developed our internet site we retained the URL address. The simple difference between the two groups is that we have evolved into an internet based group whilst neither the GRS or Shaw's Alte-Zeit-Gruppe. have any appreciable internet presence. With over 25,000 annual visitors, we have become one of the pre-eminent English language websites on the internet for modellers of German railways. In the past four years, we have picked up awards for the realism of our layout, exhibited and lectured across Europe, been featured in the major railway modelling magazines in Germany, selected NMRA webmaster's 'website of the month' and finally, have been accepted to take part in the World's Greatest Hobby program. Our layouts have been shown at major exhibitions for the past 20 years throughout Europe and have recently been featured in Continental Modeller Nov 04, Rail Magazine July/Aug 03 and Eisenbahn Journal May 04. I am suprised that Marc Immeker did not understand the true relationship between the GRS and Mr Shaw's group, we have just returned from our second visit to the Nederlands, this time for Rail2004. Next year we will be centre stage (again) at Intermodellbau'05 in Dortmund. Please come and visit a proper English language website for modellers of the Deutsche Reichsbahn at http://www.altezeitgruppe.com Tim Hale Founder of the original Altezeitgruppe
