Pre-war Märklin exhibition prolonged

The pre-war Märklin toy train exhibition in the OVM Doetinchem is a much larger success than predicted. At first the closing date was set at the end of February, then it was prolonged to the end of April and now they do not even want to call a closing date anymore. The museum attracts much more visitors than what was usual, and a large part of the visitors comes from other regions. Classic toy trains are popular indeed, much more than the railroad history of branch lines. I would be surprised to see some more toy trains in railroad musea. There is nothing better than the feel, rattle and smell of an old toy train running on its tracks.
