About

Located in one of Germany's busiest transport hubs, this model railway is a hidden treasure for both train fans and curious visitors. Every train, house, and tiny figure is made to resemble real-life situations.

Visitors can expect to see tiny versions of German buildings, including traditional houses, busy town squares, and natural features. The creators paid special attention to the small details, depicting a bit of a bother going on in the town centre.

A standout aspect of the model railway is the ability to play with the trains yourself. The smooth coordination of multiple trains, moving cars, and even little animations within the buildings contributes to a lifelike atmosphere.

The model railway at Düsseldorf Central Station is a fantastic family-friendly activity. Its location is convenient, whether you're just passing through or making a special trip to see it. Young children will be captivated by the small, moving trains and the colorful, lively environment, while adults can appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship involved in creating such detailed displays. For train enthusiasts, it’s a perfect opportunity to see their passion come to life on a smaller, more interactive scale.
