Summary: The architecture of model railway systems in the German post-war economic boom was surprisingly modern. New stood next to old, high-rises and half-timbered buildings coexisted peacefully. Still today the famous "Villa in Tessin," high-rises, gas stations, and train and administrative buildings of the post-war period connect generations throughout Germany.
