Hey, I'm only being creative here!
A few days later, the Mayor was arrested. Accusations of bribery, corruption, and other unpleasant things had been going around for some time, and they'd now been thoroughly investigated. It is safe to say he won't have a public position again.
The King, who had in fact noticed a lot but had chosen not to bring it up over lunch, made sure the next Mayor was different. Unassuming. She talked. She listened. She visited the victims of the melee that were still in hospital, and she also visited their relatives and tried to see after their needs.
She promoted plans that benefitted the entire community instead of just certain groups. For instance, maintenance of tram stops had previously been focused on those stops that the former Mayor's friends happened to use. Now the new Mayor made sure the stops whose shelters leaked got priority, regardless of who used them.
Here she's being explained the situation by Ellie from Permanent Way, who impressed the Mayor with her knowledge of the system and her ability to explain it to the layperson.

Ebay Mike travelled with me to Hanover Wehmingen to the local tram museum. Unfortunately we didn't have time to visit the big original trams. We still had to do some work on the huge LGB model layout for the opening day on Sunday. A new bypass had to be fitted with overhead lines. The tracks were also lined with polystyrene. Lighting had to be repositioned. The 12V lamps were replaced by LEDs. In the evening we sat together and enjoyed a drink or two... uhh beers. Saturday was used for the remaining work and test drives.
The next day, Ebay Mike first visited a Dutch exhibition in the showroom.
Later he visited the steam tram at the steam depot.
He was even allowed on the locomotive.
He then visited a film set from araound 1907.
A Remscheid tram was parked a little way off for the film.
A Soling tram train from the 1920s was later to be incorporated into the film. Ebay Mike took the opportunity to flirt with the pretty conductor.
The tram could not run because of an accident on the side road. So Ebay Mike had to walk past the scene of the accident.
At the nearby fire station, Ebay asked Mike for the nearest tram stop.
He asked at the nearby fire station, which was still in the construction site area of the new part of the plant. This is partly being built with a three-rail track for metre and standard gauge.
The disruption did last longer. The nice employees of the work tran saw him waiting there. They spoke to him and then he was allowed to travel on the trailer at his own request.
They drove him to another depot. There Ebay Mike met a driving school tram. He looked at the vehicle and...
He was invited on a tour, before which he was allowed to have a look around the depot.
He was slowly getting hungry.
He also had a look round the depot for the work trams.
The overhead line was switched off in the depot especially for him and he climbed onto the tower tram.
He travelled on with the Aachen tram 1001.
This is a tram with a Westwaggon four-axle wagon, with a standard trailer behind it.
See next thread, please.

At the next stop he came across a tram fan. He was eager to film the trams.
He tried to call home, but nobody answered the phone.
He was starting to get hungry and headed for a snack bar. He ate something delicious, but couldn't say what it was.
While waiting for the next tram, he spoke to a young backpacker.
Then he saw the dispatcher's van. He asked the traffic warden why the trains were still running late.
The transport manager invited him to visit the main depot.
There were many trams there. He watched the trams coming in and out.
He then travelled to the next stop and studied the ticket machine there.
The long day on the tracks of the Lgb tramway system made him hungry again.
An elderly woman lived at the bus stop. She told him...
...that there was a Goliath tricycle behind the house.
See next thread, please.
With the Düwag eight-axle tram he travelled to the main street with the old houses.
He got off at the big roundabout and walked through the small park.
The trams can turn here from the circle in all directions.
He wandered along the road and watched the police officer operating a speed trap with interest. While Ebay Mike was standing there, the policeman caught two car drivers.
The Vespa rider was too slow for the camera.
The vintage Citroen was just standing there at the side of the road.
One of the houses has just been completely renovated.
He didn't want to say how he came across the roof truss.
This house is a bit disreputable. What is he doing there?
He came back to the roundabout. A few VW Bus friends met here and showed off their vehicles.
He couldn't resist the mobile cake stand.
He talked to the driver of the refuse lorry about the technology on the lorry.
On his way home, he passed through a small neighbourhood. A new wrought-iron gate had just been installed here.
A little further on, he felt at home. Why?
As he couldn't find a decent toilet at the time, he relieved himself in this porta-potty.
He came back to me. Then we drove back to Wuppertal on Monday. He wants to ride the suspension railway at the weekend.
That's all for now. Peter

Part I
Ok Mini Mike was surprised. I wanted to deliver Lgb trams. They were just spare parts that I no longer need, but you could make two complete cars out of them. I also had a trailer that I was supposed to deliver as well. As the recipient doesn't live far from me, I drove there on Tuesday, 7 May 2024. He invited me. I knew that he had several LGB trams and that they had different adverts.
Peter Hegemeister lives in NRW and has an LGB layout under the roof in his house, and when I arrived in the attic, I was shocked. There were more than 60 LGB trams on the tracks. All of them are digitised and all of them are equipped with various movements. Mini Mike was also overwhelmed by the sight.
Peter Hegemeister applied these adverts to the trams, and he was able to buy some of the trams like this. But see for yourself:
First of all, this steam locomotive. It was created from two Stainz locomotives and weighs 7.5 kilograms. It is used as an emergency locomotive when a tram stops.
A small diorama with a discarded passenger car as an emergency shelter, as used in Germany after the war.
A goods wagon painted with an airbrush.
Mike ion Front of a Krupp Titan lorry.
A collection of locos. And Mini Mike is chatting with a young lady.
He was not too cowardly to travel in a hot air balloon. In Germany we say "fahren" driving not flying.
And again: ladies, ladies, ladies...
Because we're talking about the ladies. Mike was seen in the red light district.
The postman didn't have any letters for him either. He almost overlooked the cute animals in the shop.
Wewll known people. Unfortunately, I can't think of the name right now.
Let's start with the trams. Mini Mike first got an overview of the more 66 than trams.
Unfortunately it is not possible to show all trams.
1st. water tram from Mainz.
Railgrinder tram from (? Dresden.)
Hinged lid freight car.
A tram driving school.

Then we went back and once again to our workshop, where Mini Mike had another look at the school project of a 6th grade class. My dream room in a shoebox,
The shoebox from me shows my dream room, a model railway room with a real tram, a bar in it. In front of it a large model railway.
In the evening, he visited the Wuppertal suspension railway. Unfortunately, the photos are difficult to take. I'll have to try again.
I hope I don't bore you with the many, many pictures.

I work as an inclusion assistant in a school. In art lessons, the children had the task of depicting their dream room in a shoebox.
The children allowed him to visit their rooms. Unfortunately, I wasn't allowed to take photos of the children.
I am posting these pictures in the hope that you will allow them, because I think that the children might also enjoy modelling.
Guess who made the rooms with the football motifs and who made the rooms nice and cosy? As you can see, some of the rooms turned out very, very nice. The children were proud that I took photos of the rooms to show them on the internet.
I also had a lot of fun with this task. But of course I don't want to compare myself with the children. Nevertheless, I'll show you my room too. It's a railway room with a real tram in the room.
Tomorrow there will be pictures from the Dahlhausen railway museum. There was a garden railway event there.
That's it for today for now.

Yesterday we visited the railway museum in Bochum-Dahlhausen. There was also an exhibition for garden railway enthusiasts. Two large halls were empty and there were several layouts and stalls. It was a very good event for me. I was especially looking forward to the G-gauge road railway layout built by Jens Huschina from Berlin.
Here are the pictures of the tram. The pictures of the railway will follow this evening.
At the Depot.
Last generation? Has he stuck something to himself with superglue? Oh no!
He went inside and enjoyed a huge ice cream.....
That big! An After Eight ice cream with lots of cream and a cup of cappuccino,
I don't know wherer Ebay Mike ist????
Behind the depot he found this wreck, soon to be scrapped.
Before I forget, on the layout with the many, many advertising trams, he found these funny guys.
That's it for this morning. There will be lots more photos from the model railways this evening.
