On the evening of July 2nd a strong thunderstorm raged over Rathen. A lightning strike in the neighborhood ensured that no telephone and internet were available for 5 days and our system was almost half down. After a day of repair work with some material expenditure, we succeeded in re-establishing train operations except for one railway line.
Despite the system being completely switched off, 4 control centers, 2 boosters, 3 computers, 2 interfaces and other smaller components unfortunately did not survive the lightning strike.
As in the previous year, the PIKO company used our system to record their models for the new 2010 catalog.
In addition to many tried-and-tested items, current pre-series models were also to be admired, which will be on the market in the next few months. As usual, PIKO is right on schedule and the new products are looking really good!

At Pentecost, over 2000 guests visited the Railway Worlds with SUPER weather.
The "MEC Pirna" thanked Lothar and Margot Hanisch and the entire team of the Eisenbahnwelten in the health resort Rathen for the support in the preparation and for the provision of LGB material for the MDR program "Mach dich ran".

After LGB had already filed for bankruptcy twice in 2006 and was then taken over by Märklin, Märklin / LGB has now filed for bankruptcy again. The personal conversation with the LGB division manager at the toy fair was frustrating, LGB cannot supply any spare parts. Still a ray of hope for us, the PIKO company is expanding its G gauge range.
