Prague model trains

Thanks to this thread on airliners.net I found some interesting model railway related "sights" in Prague. One suggested accommodation was the Ibis Hotel Mala Strana. Close by is Railroad Kingdom. My Googling also found the Vytopna Restaurant in Prague where the drinks are served by model trains.

Another model railway exhibition for you, in Germany:

Not sure if Hamburg is on your proposed itinerary, but this is also impressive :)

Indeed the Prague model railway was inspired by the one in Hamburg according to their website. Hamburg is only an outside chance right now, but I'm trying to wangle a visit to somewhere in Germany!

Dresden is only a 2h train ride from Prague...

I was thinking of Cologne, which is close to Belgium - but my planning is currently an overnight train to Prague (departure options are Amsterdam or Zurich) and then fly from Prague to Paris. Have to get from London to the train departure point. Can go via Belgium and meet the train at Cologne, but this means a 10pm departure which is a bit late for a relaxing train ride. Oh well, some brilliant idea will come to me!

For some variety you could try the "Dutch Flyer" service, combining train and ferry, http://www.seat61.com/Netherlands.htm
Early start from London though. Join the night train in Amsterdam, or elsewhere en route (eg Rotterdam)...
