So my 12 year old kid loves #modeltrains to death: machines, tracks, landscapes, everything. Unfortunately, this is a hobby dominated by grumpy old men, some of whom don't react too cool towards a rainbow family. Are there any familys out there with #trainkids? #Berlin, Germany, wherever? I am thinking exchange of photos or small films, maybe sending stuff to and fro, meetings in Germany at some point. German, English works. Neurodivergent kids/parents welcome. #modellbahn #Modellbau
I can't answer your question really (I'm somewhat of a loner and trains are a thing I'm comparatively less into), but want to suggest another potential direction: there are people who are very much into rail signaling systems: simulating them, using them in model rail, restoring physical hardware, operating full country-sized simulated rail networks, ... I don't know whether that's less conservatively-grumpy area.
