Time for the Easter train.
As usual we have charged for a nice excursion for the whole family. Lots to see and do and suitable for all ages. And the small family wallet.
Competition for everyone
Find chickens and win the giant Easter egg with candy! This year donated by our sponsor City-Gross. This is our fun competition theme both on Wednesday and on Easter Eve itself. Always appreciated.
A “real” Easter whitch.
Monika Lindell reappears after transforming herself from Santa Claus into a real Easter bunny, who walks around sweeping… and in her basket she has Easter eggs for the smallest children.
Relax for a while
Millans Kafé is loaded with homemade love and the Stationmaster’s roasted Luxus Waffle. As we have been waiting 🙂
The bargain corner is loaded with bargains and much more. Locomotives, carriages and tracks are freshly painted and nice and the SAGA Cinema shows old films about, among other things, the Karlshamn-Vislanda-Bolmen-Halmstad Railway (Bolmenbanan) and Stinsen at Lyckås with Edward Persson in the lead role.
Fine exhibitions
You can once again enjoy Camilla Odgaard’s fine dollhouses, which is located on the premises. In addition, Camilla has built her Troll Forest with her own handmade trolls with great personality and the story of the troll Blåfot.
Willy Berg’s small car models and Nils-Inge Gustavsson’s fine models of old gas stations can be found in the “Car Nostalgia” room. Then we have Jonas Richthoff’s historical displays with a rhapsody of tin soldiers and not least the Battle of Narva. Last summer’s new displays are still there with the Battle of Troy, the Olympics and Columbus discovering America. A real history lesson. And a lot more.
The finest eggs in Småland
You can tell right away that this is an artist who has been on the move. Monika loves to make her porcelain eggs lively, exciting and sometimes a little mysterious. This Easter she has a whole exhibition for you to enjoy. But look, she is sitting in her red cottage and looking out from behind the door. Go ahead 🙂 a little chocolate caramel might taste…
Little Småland – a fantastic miniature world and history book
Our wonderful miniature world and history book of southwestern Småland continues to grow and you can enjoy an incredibly detailed and imaginative landscape. Bökö station with its beautiful surroundings in front of Transjön and the stinsen who is out fishing.
Lidhult with about thirty model houses in exact copies of the 40s and 50s. And in the town there are lots of small episodes that are worth discovering. Here come cyclists and cars driving off the road. A wedding couple on a Vespa and over there the coffin slips out of the car. The Lidhultsån is flowing at full speed and the mill is running.
The trains roll around at a leisurely pace and show the whole history with steam locomotives from 1880 to the last rail buses in the 60s. Åsen station and community are further away with its track that leisurely goes down to the southern tip of Unnen. Next door you will find the steamboat Vega which lies bobbing at the pier at Unnen station, and a little further in you can see how logs are taken up for Unnen’s large sawmill which was demolished in the 1940s.
Now the journey continues over the mottled bottom of Madsjön that emerged after the drainage in previous years. Small hills turn into water mirrors and rills. Pine trees stick up a little here and there.
Byholma is our big project right now. Lots of exciting things are happening here on all levels. Here you can experience lots of new thinking and innovations. Several thousand hours have already been spent and you sometimes wonder if our model builders are a little crazy…
The land Somewhere
The land Somewhere is a little gem measuring 15 x 5 meters. Dr. Schultze’s life’s work and old private model railway are a fantastic journey back to the model building of the 50s and 60s. It was this model that the association rebuilt between 2000 and 2012 and 15,000 hours of volunteer work.
Here you will also find the story of the jovial and at the same time resourceful doctor from Copenhagen. The exhibition is interesting reading for those interested.
Creator’s Corner
All small tracks are tuned so that children can drive themselves and have real fun. The world-famous Hare & Tortoise is on and it’s just a matter of competing to see who is the fastest of the two animals. :-). The popular Robot Track has been refreshed and is nice. Just challenge your dad and mom, or your friend. If you’d rather do some crafting, or build with Lego, that’s fine.
Lecture
The story of the Bolmenbanan. Ronny Nilsson, our expert on the Bolmenbanan (and much more) talks about the fantastic construction of the Halmstad-Bolmen Railway in the late 19th century.
