Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Third European Meeting in Fulda, Germany


Driven by the success of the last two years’ events, the 1/87 Vehicle Club’s German members are happy to announce the third meet outside of North America. It will take place from October 14 to 16, 2005, in Petersberg-Steinau, located on the outskirts of Fulda, Hesse, and not too far from Frankfurt/Main in central Germany. We invite model builders and collectors alike, whether they are club members or just interested in 1/87th scale vehicles, and whatever their particular field of interest in H0 scale models may be. The weekend will offer plenty of time for making new friends and “talking plastic” during and between the planned events:
