N-gauge

On a Saturday just before Christmas, the air in the Kietz is as cold as a knife. Breathe in and you feel like you have swallowed a fistful of snow. In the window of Liesert’s Falckensteinecke a small model trainset. A snowbound landscape that twinkles with lights. Glitter and plastic, aerosol snow – the simple components of happiness, N-gauge.
