Model shops in Berlin? Recommendations?

[jonhall]

 

A quick Google suggests there are a fair selection of model railway shops in the Berlin area, but which are worth a visit? any recommendations?

 

Thanks

and probably worth adding that I'm mostly window shopping, although anywhere with an interesting collection of secondhand would also be my sort of shop. Unless I can pick up the Stefan Carstens book I want in Dresden next weekend then Lokreport is on the agenda already.

 

Thanks

If you are interested in visiting a giant second-hand model emporium with some new stuff mixed in - admittedly not always cheap - then you need Michas Bahnhof in the Nürnberger Straße. It's just round the corner from KaDeWe near to the U-Bahnhof Augsburger Straße on the U3 line. I visit Micha nearly always when in Berlin!

Oddly, there is a model railway shop in Munich Airport. Apparently, Americans fly in, pick up a load of Märklin stuff and fly out again without leaving the airport. I don't know if there is similar at a Berlin airport.

Sadly, Willy Brandt Airport does not have a model shop! Schön wär's!

Been to both Modelbahnenen am Mierendorfplatz which is very easy to find being near the centre and Modelbahn Pietsch which is a bit further out  were  very good. Visited September 2019.

To close the loop, I visited Michas Bahnhof at Rekoboys recommendation, and that was exactly the sort of shop I like, from there I walked to https://turberg.de/ which have two neighboring shops, one cars, buses and plastic kits, and the other trains, in both all the stock was new, and they seemed to have a good range, although I can't comment on prices.  Then I walked to LokoMotive, bought the books I was looking for, but didn't feel terribly welcome - slightly felt I was disturbing their solitude!
