Dortmund might not be best associated with arts and crafts, but the city has cultivated a strong and long-lived handicraft industry thanks to several high-profile trade events that visit the city on the regular.

The halls showcase the latest trends and innovations in railway modeling, plastic and cardboard modeling, remote-controlled vehicles, and aero-modeling. With a diverse range of offerings, including model-making materials, accessories, and tools, the expo garners praise from visitors. Editions regularly earn an overall 'good' rating from its visitors. The expo’s program is a highlight for visitors. Models are made to be enjoyed so that’s what the trade fair offers – demonstrations, exhibitions and action shows that captivated attendees of all ages. New additions to the program, such as the LEGO® fan exhibition and the IGEMA interactive area, have received widespread acclaim. Families and school classes find delight in the creative area organized by industry leaders like Faller and Märklin, which deliver hands-on experiences for enthusiasts of all ages. Traditional program highlights, including attractions in the water basin, RC car racing days, model railway demonstration layouts, and air displays, continue to draw crowds. The demos by working model makers and the steam model railway ride through the exhibition hall received particular praise, earning top ratings from attendees.
