THIS is a sunset over Dortmund:

Deep in the west, where dust settles on the sun. Oh,
that's the neighbours.
LOL! I think that is what it will look like from my hotel
room, which
is near the Dortmund Hbf along Königswall.

Lots of train fans would pay extra for a hotel with such a view
At the peril of taking this thread further astray, I agree, having been
one in my youth growing up in and around New York City in the 60's and
70's. My cousin had an extensive Lionel O gauge model set in his attic
and I always aspired to having my own, though it never happened due to
the lack of room.
I used to frequently travel into Manhattan via subway (lived in Queens
at the time) and would spend hours at a model train hobby store in the
mid-40's. Great place where you walked in downstairs below street level
to find a wonderful collection of model trains and related items. I
think I found it:

I fell in love with the Märklin brand German model trains
(http://www.marklin.com/) and designed my "never to be" layout upon them.
Just found an article from 2003 that references it:

OK...enough reminiscing...back to work... :-)
Regards,
Marc
