H0 Model Railway – Faces with Character

It’s far too hot outside. All the more reason to head down into the cooler (but still warm) basement and let some trains run again. This time, among other things, there’s a premiere: for the first time, Fleischmann’s old "Modus" regional coaches make their way onto the layout. Alongside plenty of Class 218s, the slowly disappearing IC trains and the legendary 140 423, some real characters are gathering on the layout this time. Enjoy watching!
