At the exhibition for model trains in Utrecht (On TraXS), the members of the model railroading club MOBOV presented their latest model railway layout in H0 scale. They found inspiration in their own Antwerp region with the National Company of Neighbourhood Railways (NMVB) connection from the city centre to the polder villages north of Antwerp.

In this video, Pilentum Television presents the superb model railroad layout built by Ignacio O'Callaghan, a steam locomotive and railway enthusiast from Barcelona in Spain. Ignacio constructed a miniature world in HO scale, which is 3.7 meters long and 1.2 meters wide. On this nearly five square meters, he has built a beautiful German model railway layout that impresses with its particularly excellent track plan and with its rich details.

This is № 572 of Pilentum's model railroad videos. This magnificent HO scale train layout was built by the members of the Club Ferroviaire de Franche-Comté (CFFC) and depicts the train station of La Praz (“Gare de la Praz”) located at the “Culoz-Modane Railway”, sometimes called “Ligne de la Maurienne”. In 1925 the railway was electrified with 1.5 kV DC, using a third rail. In 1976 the third rail was replaced by an overhead wire. This is why we see electric locomotives that run without pantographs. Furthermore, train traffic concerns exclusively the period from 1956 to 1973.
