I received my Oct/Nov 2013 issue of the Eisenbahn-Romantik magazine and was surprised to find myself in this issue. This photo was taken at Internationale Modellbahnausstellung (IMA) in Köln-Deutz last year. Unfortunately I was wrongly identified as a Japanese railway fan …. sigh …
Here are the original photo and the autograph.

Hi jimmy at least you have the chance of visiting train shows in Germany and if time permits you can visit other train show in other parts of Europe as well.

Yea, I have visited any this year but will definitely head to Stuttgart for the final show for the year. I hv not thought of any European shows yet, but Eurospoor in Amsterdam/Utrecht comes to mind.
We will see next year.
