One of the most beautiful and realistic East German model railroad layouts with steam locomotives

- This beautiful model train layout in 1/87 scale is a historically accurate replica of the Royal Saxon State Railways. The Royal Saxon State Railways were well known in German railway history for their large narrow-gauge railway network, which reached its greatest extent in the 1920s with a length of over 500 kilometres. Since narrow-gauge railways are usually built with tighter curves, smaller structure gauges, and lighter rails, they can be less costly to build, equip, and operate than standard-gauge railways.
Those lower-cost narrow-gauge railways were often used in mountainous terrain, where engineering savings can be substantial. In the state of Saxony in Germany, narrow-gauge railways were built to serve industries as well as sparsely populated communities where the traffic potential would not justify the cost of a standard-gauge line. Since 1881, narrow-gauge railways have been built in the state of Saxony in Germany to integrate more and more peripheral towns and villages into the railway network.
In 1911, the village of Jahnsbach near the Saxon city of Thum in the Ore Mountains was also connected to the railway. This small railway station had a platform, a waiting hall with luggage room, a goods shed and even a loading road. In addition to the main track, the track system consisted of two sidings. The railway line between the city of Thum and the village of Jahnsbach was one of the first narrow-gauge railways in Saxony to use rollbocks, sometimes called transporter trailers, allowing a standard gauge wagon to piggyback on a narrow-gauge line.
After World War II, the network of the Royal Saxon State Railways was taken over by the German Reich Railways (“Deutsche Reichsbahn”) in East Germany. For over 40 years, rail transport was characterised by steam trains and steam locomotives in East Germany. Finally, this period of East German railway traffic offers a rich repertoire for model railroading. This is why many railway modellers specialised in modelling these narrow-gauge railways. One of these modellers is Jens Petermann who started building the station of Jahnsbach with his team called “Bimmlbahner” in 2013.
Although passenger services were discontinued in September 1974 and freight services in January 1976 and the tracks in the village of Jahnsbach were dismantled, all the buildings have been preserved to this day, which made it much easier to build an authentic replica. Jens Petermann and his buddies have built a modular model railway layout on a frame made of multiplex panels which contains eight modules: Three modules for the station, two modules for the surrounding landscape, two modules for curves and, in the background, a large module for the fiddle yard.
The model railroad layout impresses with its very high level of detail. Everything is built in museum quality. Buildings have been measured in the original and were reproduced exactly using laser technology. What immediately catch your eye on the model train layout are these beautiful model trees! Jens Petermann has developed a talent for making beautiful miniature trees, almost small masterpieces, from twisted wire mesh. All these model trees are unique. Over 450 of his trees are set on the model rail layout.
Finally, the steam locomotives and rail cars are also made of extraordinary quality. Because each steam locomotive has individual characteristics in reality, no ready-to-run scale models (“out of the box”) are used on the model rail layout. The rolling stock has been weathered and modified exactly according to old photos. Modification includes, among other things, the application of new lettering, the installation of add-on parts, and color touch-ups with the aim of improving the appearance of model trains.

I totally agree with one of the commenters that model railroading is the "greatest hobby in the world". Indeed it is! And this video shows why model railroad hobby is so great...the scenery, the engines and rolling stock and human figures are fantastic. A lot of realism is displayed in the layout. The audio is very realistic and adds to the fun of watching the video. I enjoyed watching. 😊
I like it when there are "people" in the carriages, adds a little extra.
The greatest hobby in the world. 🏆
Museum quality is an understatement! The quality matches the best I have ever seen.
Your camera work, music and natural sounds are at their very best here, Pilentum!
Indeed! Cinematic quality.
Beautiful, I am watching this on a quiet cold early Sunday morning in March and the feeling of a village in the summer is now upon me. It’s amazing what a multimedia art form that model railroads are.
Most breathtaking gorgeous model railroad layout looking very realistic.
Wiedermal sehr gelungene Aufnahmen ! 👌 Nebenbahn-Atmosphäre zum genießen !
WOW!!! Absolutely beautiful layout. So well done.
Einfach großartig, was hier in diesem Maßstab geschaffen wurde!
Absolutly amazing, what has been cracted and built here.
Großes Kompliment an die Erbauer! Gruß ausm Stellwerk-Ost
Danke
So this is perhaps the most realistic display of model railroad and landscape beauty I've ever seen. And I'm very glad that the "cab ride" view wasn't fast, because I could enjoy the view of the surroundings. Well done! 👏👍🚉
Wow right of the hop what impressed me was the sound of the wheels grinding on rail, I was with CNR 35 years as loco engineer and the sound is perfect.
2000 habe ich in Jahnsbach bei Thum gewohnt und versucht die Spuren dieser Schmalspurbahn zu finden. Viel war damals leider nicht mehr übrig. Aus dem ehemaligen Bahndamm wurde ein Rad-/ Fußweg. Hier und da gab es Hinweisschilder oder Bildtafeln auf denen etwas zur Geschichte zu lesen war.....
Es ist ein Traum, diese Anlage realistisch gestaltet anschauen zu dürfen....
Vielen Dank an die Erbauer und die Filmer für diesen unvergleichlichen Anblick...!!!!!
Grüße Ronny
Vielen Dank für diesen guten Kommentar!
Top Video ! Merci beaucoup. ;)
Looks very well done :)
A beautiful layout.
Absolutely beautiful model 😍 Thanks for sharing!
Very nice... ❤❤❤
Красота!!!
Very lovely, well done young lady.
I'd love to see the a model synchronized with the real sound , over a stretch of track , like the video. An engineering challenge but I'm sure it can be done
Super model! Mersi Pilentum!
superbe
Great 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
❤❤❤
so kann den bahnenbauer viele trix ubernemen und im seien anlage im der praxis verwicklen und auch im wass kleinen raum zum beispiel n spur habe ich auch mit hilfe von hintergrunde alles vielen malen grosser lassen anschauen
👍👏😍😍
Wunderbare Anlage aber mal was anderes 7K haben doch Einheitspfeifen das bei der 7K im Video war doch ein Pfiffi wue er bei 4k verbaut wurde oder gab es 7k mit Pfiffis?
What is that type of coupling called?
It’s a “Scharfenbergkupplung”
@@debimmlbahner1029 thank you
But why is the engine reversed ?
Great landscaping but the out of focus hurts my eyes!
I know who have same waguen in Fontana California same color
What brand is the train?
BEMO (narrow-gauge).
The locomotives are Bemo, the wagons are from PMT technomodell
thank you@@debimmlbahner1029
👌👍👍👍
some of the people on the stations look very Laidback
They are really relaxed
💪👍👍👍
太完美了。。。。有中国的机车吗？
'Promo sm' 😞
No so realistic ,people don't board the train ,people don't move ,so static ! Sorry for the observation
Excellent observation apart from one thing, ITS A MODEL.
You Must be a joker in real life
Класс.
