Have a model railway built
Building a beautiful model railway is a formidable job. A realistic design, stable substructure, trouble-free technology and an enchanting landscape take a lot of time, especially if you rely on limited free time. Not everyone has the patience, inclination or equipment for it.
You can have us build your dream model railway. We arrange the entire process, from design to a working model railway at home. If necessary, we will furnish the entire space for you. You can also opt for partial track construction: we do part and you complete the track yourself.
We work in all common scales, such as G, track 1, track 0, H0, TT, N and Z. And we can handle all well-known brands. For example Fleischmann, KM-1, Märklin, Minitrix, Peco, Piko, Roco and Trix. Of course with the latest digital technology from ESU, Lenz, Uhlenbrock and YaMoRC.
Advice, design and subprojects
Have you already started making plans or building something? We are also happy to help you with a part of your project. For example, with making a realistic design, advice on how to best approach something, help with problems or building pieces of scenery that you place on your existing model railway.
Strictly personal
A model railway is very personal. Some people love big steam trains, others Swiss narrow gauge or modern trains. For us, a model railway always starts with a conversation. We would like to know what you dream of and where the magic lies for you. Of course we will also address available space and budget.
Our approach
We approach building a layout in steps with clear deliverables per step.
1. Intake session and research
2. Design and visualization with a.o. AI
3. Substantiation and integration
4. Rail construction and technology
5. Basics of the landscape
6. Background design with photos and AI
7. Finishing and detailing
8. On-site installation
9. Maintenance, updates, upgrades
Visualization
In the design phase we capture the feeling and key scenes with AI, photos and mood boards.
Briefly about costs
“How much does something like this cost?” Unfortunately, you cannot simply give an answer to that. Model making is very labor intensive. Building models from the ground up takes time. Size, scale, theme, era and desired level of detail determine how much work a model railway is. In short, you can only answer this question if you know what you are going to do.
For example... a model railway in the very common H0 scale, set in postwar Germany can be built fairly quickly thanks to many available items. A Dutch model railway in gauge 1 at the beginning of the twentieth century takes much more time. You'll have to design and make everything yourself.
Practical issues
A model railway doesn't have to be big. Small layouts can also be great fun. We are happy to leave any construction, conversion or weathering of rolling stock to specialists. We like to work with partners for the best results for the wooden frames and the installation of digital technology.
We build model railways as modularly as possible. This way we keep the track transportable. From our workshop to your home and from your home to a future new space. When designing, we pay extra attention to how accessible all parts of the model railway are. Even if you may become less mobile at some point in your life.
