Incredibly detailed model railroad layout of a miniature chemical plant in Z scale

This is № 577 of Pilentum's model railroad videos. In this video, we discover an incredibly detailed model train diorama in Z scale depicting not only a chemical plant, but also the related infrastructure. On a size of 1.6 meter in width and 0.6 meter in depth (63" x 24"), there are literally hundreds of details to discover on every square centimeter. A special feature of this ingenious miniature railroad are the many small vehicles and large trucks, which are moved by a magnetic drive system.

One of the most authentic model railroads of an East German chemical plant with industrial railways

This is № 554 of Pilentum's model railroad videos. Olaf Brabandt is a German model railroader who builds run-down, abandoned and dirty industrial sites, for example steelworks, coal plants, refineries and chemical plants. In the last seven years, he built a model railroad layout in HO scale representing a part of the typical large-scale industry of the former GDR. It is an industrial yard built with a high level of detail: Patina, dirt, dust and grime are everywhere. Buildings, locomotives and freight cars are also carefully weathered.
