On 16.09.23, the station in Peißenberg will open its doors to visitors on the occasion of the “Day of Railways”. Immerse yourself in the world of model railroads and marvel at the impressive 100 square meter model railway layout of the Pfaffenwinkel Model Railway Club.
Another highlight of the event is the art exhibition in the former waiting room and the dispatcher’s rooms. Here, Jennifer Scales presents her works, which capture the special beauty of rail travel with slow shutter speeds and targeted camera movements. Discover a previously unseen world of landscapes in motion – captured in impressionistic photographs.

The exhibition not only includes pictures taken along the local railroad line (Schongau-Augsburg), which might be familiar to commuters, but also images from trains all over Europe. Since 2021, the photographer has visited over 20 countries by train for her ongoing project “Travelscapes”, with the starting and ending point of the journey always being Peißenberg station.

Visitors can also get to know the station itself better: a member of the Model Railway Club will present the old signal box and give you exciting insights into the activities of a train dispatcher of the past.

Day of Rail 16.September 2023

5 pm – 8 pm

Bahnhof Peißenberg

In mid-September, there will be exciting events all about railroads all over Germany for the 2nd edition of “Rail Day”. There’s something for everyone, from railroad romance to art and culture to technology and a look behind the scenes. And in Peißenberg, it’s all in one event.

If the local train station is owned by the model train club, and the resident photo artist only shoots from trains, then a collaboration is almost bound to happen, right?

In any case, I’m really looking forward to the event. Here is the official announcement – more info will follow here or on Instagram.
I’m looking forward to seeing you guys!

On Rail Day in Peißenberg, you will experience a fascinating combination of technology and art. The Model Railway Club Pfaffenwinkel e.V. invites you to an extraordinary event in cooperation with the local photo artist Jennifer Scales.

Immerse yourself in the world of model trains and marvel at the impressive 100sqm model railroad layout, which depicts the rail traffic between Weilheim and Peißenberg in 1968 in great detail. The Model Railway Club is also celebrating its 40th anniversary with a special focus on train traffic from 40 years ago.

In addition to the fascinating model railroad landscape, an art exhibition awaits you in the former waiting room and dispatcher’s quarters. Here, Jennifer Scales presents her works, which use slow shutter speeds and purposeful camera movement to capture the special beauty of rail travel. Immerse yourself in a world of landscapes in motion and be awed by the impressionistic photographs.

The exhibition includes images taken along the route (Schongau-Augsburg) and therefore likely to be familiar to commuters, as well as train views from throughout Europe. Since 2021, the photographer has traveled to over 20 countries by train, with the starting and ending point of the journey always being Peißenberg station.

The station itself is also open for visitors to explore: a member of the Model Railway Club will present the old signal box and give you exciting insights into the activities of a train dispatcher of yesteryear.
