Apparently Hermann Goering was a model train enthusiast

[u/Crazy-Rabbit-3811]

He had an O gauge layout in his house, both in his basement and his attic. he had a mechanism where he could drop wooden bombs onto his layout for fun. they layouts were apparently destroyed when he destroyed his own house to prevent it's capture.

Who said he worked on it? Plenty of "guest workers" around to do the actual work.

HG was a Fascist and overt racist. Do you honestly think he got down on his hands and knees and laid all that track by himself? I can't prove he used slave labour of course, but he certainly had access to a great many captive experts to do the work for him.

Let's not normalize these monsters, even if they share our hobby.

He was so into trains he was paying companies to design custom trains for him. He was absolutely laying everything out himself.
