This is № 502 of Pilentum's model railroad videos. In this cab ride video, we discover both the Swiss model railway layout and the Italian model railroad layout at the world’s largest model train exhibition, called “Miniatur Wunderland” in Hamburg, Germany. The camera train meets oncoming model trains and finally arrives at the large central station of the city of Rome, called “Stazione Ferroviaria Roma Termini”

That fascination becomes even greater when we hear the steam locomotive sound and when we see the smoke rising from the chimney or smokestack. Near a railway depot on the model railway layout of a German model building club, Pilentum filmed some great scale models.

For years, model railroading or railway modelling has been experiencing a magnificent expansion due to scale model cars that drive automatically on model rail layouts. The trucks we see in this video were built in HO scale. Currently, there are three well-known systems that are used on many European miniature worlds. The newest system is called “Viessmann CarMotion”, the worldwide known system is called “Faller Car System Digital” and the very individual system is called “DC-Car System” by Claus Ilchmann.

Rail transport modeling in Germany is closely associated with those steam locomotives and diesel locos of the former state railroad (German Federal Railway) from the 1960's. Therefore, there are many model railroading enthusiasts who recreate that romantic era. The rail diorama we see in this video follows this railway modelling philosophy and depicts a small station in Germany where a lot of freight traffic is handled.
