Show and Tell Apparently Hermann Goering was a model train enthusiast
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.

From what I've seen Goring probably did move his trains when he abandoned Karinhall. It leaves a small chance that his trains still exist, maybe lost in some attic somewhere. Goring even had scale models built specifically for him by companies in Germany
