The Meiningen steam shop in Germany

Have a look at this- it's in German until 9:48 then is in English so fast forward if you like. I was at the open house in September about 10 years ago and I must say it was the best day I've ever had since my divorce was final. One thing- you can walk around with a glass of beer in your hand, not a paper cup but a glass. How civilised. I sure as hell hope to get back there.

In German, but turn on subtitles if du kannst nicht Deutsch sprechen.

Here is another YT video of Meiningen- note the multi-gauge track.
