Because Märklin has copied many of the Danish steam and diesel locomotives in scale 1/87, Jens Krogsgaard - a Danish model maker - started building his fantastic HO scale layout which is called “Kælderkøbing Modeltogbane”. By the way, the Danish word “modeltogbane” or “modeljernbane” means model railway in British English or model railroad in American English.
