Nice to see many people are already that enthusiastic to visit Dortmund and useR! 2008 in August. Unfortunately, I have all my Dortmund sunset pictures stored in my machine at home, hence no way to share. ;-)

Best wishes,
Uwe

THIS is a sunset over Dortmund:

Deep in the west, where dust settles on the sun. Oh,
that's the neighbours.

LOL!  I think that is what it will look like from my hotel
room, which is near the Dortmund Hbf along Königswall.

Lots of train fans would pay extra for a hotel with such a view

At the peril of taking this thread further astray, I agree, having been one in my youth growing up in and around New York City in the 60's and 70's. My cousin had an extensive Lionel O gauge model set in his attic and I always aspired to having my own, though it never happened due to the lack of room.

I used to frequently travel into Manhattan via subway (lived in Queens at the time) and would spend hours at a model train hobby store in the mid-40's. Great place where you walked in downstairs below street level to find a wonderful collection of model trains and related items. I think I found it:

I fell in love with the Märklin brand German model trains (http://www.marklin.com/) and designed my "never to be" layout upon them.

Just found an article from 2003 that references it:

OK...enough reminiscing...back to work...  :-)

Marc
