Beautiful Weathered Industrial Model Railroad Layout Carolo Metal by Rik Martens in HO Scale

Published on November 13, 2024

Rik Martens is a well-known model maker in the European rail transport modeling community who specializes in construction of micro model train layouts, including in particular industrial model railway layouts. A gloomy and dark atmosphere as well as dirt, rust and grime on the buildings are a special feature of those industrial model railways.

The industrial model railroad layout in HO scale depicts a metal processing company named “Carolo Metal” in the suburbs of the Belgian city of Charleroi at the end of the 1970s. The company is located on the right rear part of the model train layout. On the left, behind the single-track railroad line, a brewery has settled. In the middle of the industrial diorama, workers’ houses are lined up along the road.
