In this video Dutch model railroader Paul Roodbol is presenting his extremely detailed model railway layout named “Berkeldam” in HO scale. The model train layout is approximately 2.5 x 0.6 meters in size and depicts the Dutch railway history around 1960.

Whatever the correct term may be, the German model railroader Heiko Wendler constructed a highly detailed model railroad layout depicting a quarry where ore is loaded onto trains. The model rail layout has a width of 130 cm and a depth of 30 cm.

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.

The model train layout depicts an original section of the double-tracked line between the level crossing “Boltolph’s Bridge Crossing” and the bridge named “New Cut Sewer” crossing the drainage canal.

The period of East German railway traffic offers a rich repertoire for model railroading. This is why Jens Petermann started building the station of Jahnsbach with his team called “Bimmlbahner” in 2013. The rolling stock has been weathered and modified exactly according to old photos.

In rural regions, especially in the state of Saxony, narrow gauge steam engines were in use, for example on the “Pressnitz Valley Railway”.

In rural regions in particular, there were narrow-gauge railways and small branch lines that were operated exclusively with steam locomotives. This period of East German railway traffic offers a rich repertoire for railway modelling. Franz Rittig is a well-known railway modeller who depicts the railway infrastructure of the North German region Mecklenburg in his model railways. His latest model railway in 1/87 scale consists of two dioramas on an area of 2.7 m x 0.4 m x 0.5 m depicting the train station of Friedrichsruhe and Alt Warnow.

In this border region, small narrow-gauge trains are mainly used to transport passengers and freight between small towns and villages in the Alps. The landscape design on the model train layout in 1/87 scale is overwhelming because narrow-gauge railways have to climb high mountains and pass through deep valleys.
