Coronavirus keeps German model trains chugging along
Mon, 21 December 2020
Gerhard Berndt’s model railway has been three decades in the making, but this year it’s really been full steam ahead for the 72-year-old Berliner.
The retired carpenter has had more time on his hands in 2020 because of coronavirus restrictions – and he has dedicated it to building up an intricate small-scale village in his living room.
“This stuff takes time. And I have used that in this corona situation,” said Berndt, who would otherwise be too busy jetting off to railway conventions to spend hours a day working on his hobby.
