While checking on jhocks link to 1/87th Vehicles website, I decided to look more into the gallery.
I came across this gem: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.1-87vehicles.org/photo532/hobby_shop_marklin.php">http://www.1-87vehicles.org/photo532/ho ... arklin.php</a><!-- m -->
Im jealous. Some nice work there.
Wow! The interior work is amazing!
Oh yeah!
This remembers me to my own childhood in the 1960's when i pressed my nose flat onto the shop window looking to the stuff were the dreams are made of.
In Germany Märklin plays the role which Lionel has in the US.
The builder has a very nice work done to capture the spirit of the mid 1960's.
The colour code for boxes were:
light blue: Märklin rolling stock
red: Märklin acessories
green: Märklin 3-Rails
yellow: Faller kits of miniature houses, bottle brush trees and coloured sawdust

Maybe I'll just model the curtains in the "tour ship" closed. 
Want photos of the interior of the pantry on the
lower deck ?
No problem, my wife made some.
That is some fantastic modeling.
When I was a kid my Dad and I went to a hobby shop very similar to that..I recall the shop was small and the fella had to get your purchase from the back room since everything out front was for display.I can still recall the the guy was short ,wore a white shirt with neck tie and always had a cigar in his mouth.
Got just one problem with this shop, those kits the sell have got to be a bear to assemble.
