[Anonymous]

I'm travelling to Stuttgart, Germany in the near future and would like to know if there are model railroading things to do or see in that area.

You did not specify the period, so here is some general info:
check out the website of the german prototype and model magazine Eisenbahm Kurier, click on events and choose modell. The items are from the whole of Germany if I am correct and neighboring countries like Switzerland and France. I am not familiar with place names around Stuttgart so you have tio check them yourself on a map of the region.
Alternatively just take a train into the region and enjoy the ride, lots of modern trains run by a variety of operators. Stuttgart hauptbahnhof should be fascinating as well.

another magazine is Miba:

It shows a large trainshow in Stuttgart in october (modellbau sud).
I hope this reaches you in time.
