Posted by one of the members of MEM forum I thought people here may enjoy the video. Nice that they have so many of the models running rather than just static as we seem to here.

Some very impressive work there … thanks for sharing it, Jason

Certainly makes the show a lot more interesting to see the exhibits running. Appeared to be quite a few youngsters there which can’t be bad.

Excellent. Thanks for posting and thanks to the cameraperson.

Yes, the (mostly?) German visitors seemed to be at least a generation younger than those on other similar videos I've seen from the UK and USA.

There were some fascinating models there. I wonder where the Germans get their supplies/drawings/kits etc from?

Edit: 'generation younger' – I've just watched some other YT videos on the show and see that there was a very wide cross section of modelling types eg RC construction vehicles, model railways, steam punk dragons etc…so there is maybe more to pull in the younger visitors?

There are a number of German ME suppliers, I've used these ones a bit for things like metric fixings, small MOD gears and the odd casting.

Knupfer

RCMachines

TS-Models The black engine with one end of the crank supported by the wall is one of their kits

VTH who publish MiM the equivalent to ME have a plans service

Leipzig is also a very nice town/city to visit. Big airport there and an impressive train terminus, Cathedral etc.
