Søren's Model Railway Pages

In the autum of 2011 a friend of mine and I spent a day in the neighbourhood of Hamburg looking at trains. I have been in Hamburg several times and there are some very good trainspotting places. I must say though that the station Hamburg Harburg is my favourite. We were there for around two hours and saw around 50 trains (many of them regional trains of course).

I took a bunch of pictures and never really got around to do a post on them. I could say that I spent all that time working on the pictures, but the truth is more in the neighborhood of me forgetting all about them. Now! The wait is over!

Here are some of the highlights from that day.
