Fleischmann HO Scale Model Railroads and Trains - Realistic Model Train Layout built by Artist Bernhard Stein

Published on December 23, 2023

In every country there are artists and masters in the field of model railroading who have the ability to depict nature, trains, buildings, landscapes and rail traffic as realistically as possible in the model. When these artists build model train layouts, these stand out with many details. In Germany, there was a model maker who was known throughout Europe. His name was Bernhard Stein, and this video presents one of his largest model railroad layouts in HO scale.

Bernhard Stein was a German model builder who died on September 5, 2002. In addition to his original profession as a church painter and restorer, he also worked as a journalist and photographer. However, he seems to have found his true destiny as a model railroader, as his model railway layouts and model train dioramas gave inspiration for many other railway modellers.

The model railway layout in this video has all the classic elements that make a model railroader’s heart beat faster, because Bernhard Stein has thought of everything: Long railroad lines, a large train station, a locomotive depot with engine shed, a branch line and lovingly arranged landscapes. The model railroad has a total track length of almost 360 meters and is built on 14 segments based on the model track system of the German company Fleischmann.

The segments arranged in an L-shape require a footprint of 4 x 11 x 11 meters. The size of the whole miniature world allows model railroad operations with prototypically long trains. Along the main railway lines, the model railway layout is equipped with a filigree overhead line (catenary) made by the German company Sommerfeldt. While steam trains and diesel trains are used on the branch line only, all types of trains run on the main lines. If you are interested in European model railroading, especially in German railway modelling, then the books written by Bernhard Stein are an infinitely large knowledge database.
