The miniature world of Model Trains brought to you by Katja Aksenenka
I love how each layout tells a unique story and combines design, craftsmanship, and imagination.
Katja Aksenenko is one of Catawiki’s in-house experts in model trains. With a decade of experience recreating historic layouts and locomotives, she carefully reviews every model and miniature against strict quality standards to ensure only the most detailed and authentic pieces make it to auction. From a young age, Katja was captivated by trains, especially old sleeper wagons and the intricate world of model railways. The cozy atmosphere fascinated her; the gentle rocking of the train, and the warm tea served in elegant glasses felt to her like stepping into another era. Over the years, that fascination has only grown. For the last 10 years, she’s been fulfilling her passion for Berlin’s rich railway and underground history, recreating their iconic trains and stations through model railways. Katja has worked with several reputable auction houses, including Sotheby’s and Grisebach in Berlin. As project manager, she has a diverse skillset which she credits for her attention to detail and deep understanding of the art and collectables market.
