Although she was not originating from the train engineer's family, especially state officials associated with the train, but his love of this world thrive. There's always the curiosity to pursue the value of tradition in the train. From there, historical knowledge and human capabilities can be sorted one by one.
"Actually, I met (this hobby) by Uncle. He was indeed a heavy hobby collecting toy trains, "said the man was familiarly called Yopie. Through his uncle's hobby, Yopie admitted fascinated with the collection of model trains.
Previously, no Yopie occurred if there are producers in the world specially made replicas of real trains. The design is very similar to the original. Like the twin forms only. Even down to the detail that is very small.
"From the start I did like the train (the fire). But I did not think, if there are miniature really like the original. Usually it is called train-keretaan was carried away. Do not use rail and yes normal form, "the story of the early interest Yopie with this unique hobby.
Because fell in love at first sight, Yopie followed his uncle's footsteps. Since September 1993, he decided to pursue this hobby. From there he did great massage story behind making this train. Including the original railway history.
Now, Yopie has collected a locomotive (train head) of 17 men followed the car around 50. "Ah, my collection is not just how. There was a lot less. After all I (do) with my uncle said, "said the father of two children was lowered.
It Is
Unlike the Yopie, Antono Yuwono (40) admitted penchant for collecting miniature train just came to me. Flows are. He did not remember for sure, what made him in love chasing the mini train line.
"What I remember the first Bandung, there are shops whose name Sarinah Bandung. The store was large but only one floor only. In it, there is a train layout. Well, if you want to run the train, we must pay, "said the bespectacled man had started the story. Apparently, the toy train that has attracted the attention of young Antono. He was impressed with the toy train that moves on the rails. Sweet memories of long tails.
"What a coincidence, my son loved her little time to train. Yes, I bought a train at regular toy stores, "continued Antono. The effort to please the little disappointment was fruitful. Antono upset with the forms of this train. "Tracks just ordinary plastic. (Form) wheels, too casual. No one istimewalah. "In fact, he did not regard it as a replica rail genuine. There was no bearings or ballast in it.
From this series of disappointments, it Antono more curious. Parahyangan University architecture graduates are starting left-right questions. Try to find out any information about the true model trains. Finally, the search effort that reached the top. Walking in a popular mall in Jakarta, Antono find a hobby shop that sells a variety of model trains. What is clear, it's not a replica grade category mediocre. Dicinta top side dish arrived.
From there, Antono likes collecting miniature model trains. One by one, bought the train set. Nothing seemed already tens train filled the house. Then, satisfied him? "No, I keep this hobby seriously and not play games. Search information still do. The difference is, I find out the story behind the making of history in the train (the fire) and other relevant information, "said business development director of PT. Modernland it.
Learning History
Just so you know, Antono also fond of historical value in a train. For him, like a miniature train is not only seen from a unique design but also related to the history that accompanies.
According Antono, railways face is always adjusted to the ability and human knowledge in his time. That is why, the form of railway history always reflects the nuances, so have a different artistic value from time to time. "From there it was obvious how humans developed the technology. See the models train times before the First World War and after the Second World War, penampilanya very different, "said Antono.
In addition, the excavation of history is important impact in this hobby. Everything useful that we do not feel trapped in choosing a miniature. "Hobbies are the same as hobbies (collection) others, because if you want to be lived not inexhaustible. We might just buy a home, "he said, smiling Antono. So, that's why we must be clever in choosing. Do not let it be a collection of worthless goods.
Yopie any Antono agree with this. Extensive knowledge not only useful when selecting, but also affects the arrangement of the train on the tracks, assembling a miniature train should not carelessly. Must know the rules.
"Train (fire) is arranged according to their respective era. Proverbial, it locomotives Argo Bromo must pull passenger coaches. There's no history that was interesting loko Jabotabek train car, "explained Yopie.
Yopie words, people who are classified as a true collector, understands the rules. They were very careful in preparing a series of collections of model trains. Moreover, a miniature train manufacturers sometimes release a series of train separately. Could lokomotifnya first on the market, then followed by a carriage. Or vice versa.
Emperor Train
Of the many collections that, Yopie model trains Emperor Wilhelm II (1890 - 1905). Train replica of the German Empire in the 19th century to early 20th century that includes a special edition. The objects were made in limited quantities.
Märklin (read: Maerklin) the manufacturer, released in 1996. This is the second series.
"His first series, copied from the prototype used a train of King Ludwig II in the mid-19th century," said Antono who has this special train.
When the model trains of King Ludwig II superior in detail, the train German emperor is interesting because luxury. Look carefully at the contents of the miniature cars. Inside, carpets, sofas, tables, curtains and light wires following, which can be seen clearly. Similarly, a small room (WC) located in each car, it can also diintip freely. Absolutely luxurious.
In addition to prioritizing the interior details, design Märklin train is in accordance with the actual shape. Complete with a dark green color, color trends in accordance with the railways in those days that tend to dark.
According to Antono, Emperor Wilhelm II is very fond of traveling using personal train it. To the point, he called Reisekaiser. That is, the emperor who liked to travel. There are about 30 pieces of cars and locomotives owned by Wilhelm II's. One of them, locomotive named, Dampflok Class S10. Originally, this cab Schwartzkopf engines manufactured in 1911.
In addition to collecting model trains, Antono also built a railway urban landscape in one corner of his house. Complete with miniature buildings, warehouses, trees, equipment and image station people in the past.
As a result of the L-shaped miniature seemed more alive. Penchant for admiring the train is running can be met, as well as the history behind the train.
