Our next "Trains and Cars" tour in 2016

our 50 / 50 concept

Picture
Due to popular request we now offer a very special new tour once a year only!

Many train fans seem to be automotive fans too, and had asked us if we could also include a visit to BMW, Volkswagen and Audi in addition to Mercedes and PORSCHE.
Well, instead of going away from our "train tour concept" and mixing everything together, we have been conducting one tour per year for the train and auto fans among you. 
50%
 of the time will still be dedicated to layouts, ICE rides, museums, etc., and 50% to German automakers.
