This documentary is a self-financed passion project. If it gains some traction and viewer interest, we plan to add a fully dubbed German version in the future.
As independent filmmakers exploring a niche subject, we’re experimenting with direct distribution. If it works, we hope to produce more railway documentaries – engaging, cinematic, and accessible even to those new to the world of model railroading.
500 model railroaders. 14,000 square meters. Five days of miniature madness — and lots of coffee and cigarettes.
Step into the obsessive, passionate, and delightfully chaotic world of Europe’s largest model train gathering. In just 24 hours, hundreds of enthusiasts race to assemble a sprawling, ultra-detailed railway universe from over 200 modular pieces — and things don’t always go to plan.
From misfiring signals to meltdown moments with malfunctioning WiFi, Train Crazy follows the builders behind the scenes as they chase perfection in 1:87 scale. At once heartwarming, hilarious, and deeply human, this documentary is a love letter to collaboration, creativity, and the joy of making something bigger than yourself — even if it's tiny.
