Beautiful model train layout of steam trains and steam locomotives used by German Reich Railways

After World War II, there were two railway companies in Germany: The German Federal Railway (“Deutsche Bundesbahn”) in West Germany and the German Reich Railways (“Deutsche Reichsbahn”) in East Germany. Both companies remained separate throughout the Cold War era division of Germany. After the fall of the Berlin Wall and German reunification, Deutsche Bundesbahn and Deutsche Reichsbahn were merged to form one company, namely “Deutsche Bahn AG”, the national railway company of Germany.
For over 40 years, rail transport in East Germany was characterised by trains operated by the Deutsche Reichsbahn. These were mainly steam trains and diesel trains. 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 model railroading and railway modelling. This is why there are railway enthusiasts in Germany who have specialised in modelling of former, now forgotten, historic railway lines.
Franz Rittig is a well-known model railroader who depicts East German landscapes and railway infrastructures of the North German region Mecklenburg in his model train layouts. His latest model railroad layout in HO scale consists of two dioramas that are connected to each other. The left-hand diorama depicts the train station of Friedrichsruhe and the right-hand diorama depicts the train station of Alt Warnow. Both dioramas are built on an area of 2.7 m x 0.4 m x 0.5 m and result in a very beautiful shelf layout.

Очень профессиональная работа. Не зря д-ра Франца Риттига в Германии называют перфекционистом - он стремится сделать всё идеально. В этом видео гармонично сочетаются сюжет, воплощенный в прекрасную диораму, спокойная музыка, звуки локомотивов, пение птиц, замечательные сценки из повседневной жизни и многое другое. Надо быть одновременно и художником и моделистом, чтобы создать такую красивую диораму. Спасибо за видео.

My father used to collect trains and make dioramas. This video brings me many memories.

Nie tylko piękne, ale i fascynujące. 👍 Nostalgiczna muzyka przenosi widzą wprost do tamtej epoki, dzięki czemu można poczuć prawdziwy klimat minionych, choć wciąż żywych w pamięci lat, lat kiedy to kolej była pod parą... lat gdy piękna była nie tylko kolej, ale i cały świat. (h).

It's so lovely to be transported to another place and time. Beautiful. 😊

Konnte gar nicht glauben, dass das HO ist. Exzellent!

model railroading is timeless

[@andyfiala7500]

Like in reality! Perfect! Realistic, synchronized train sounds, perfect camera work and pleasant background music. Very successful!🚉👏👍

Magnifique, la végétation est très réaliste.

[@AndrewSzekely]

awesome layouts and exquisite detail, looking fwd to seeing mounted miniature cameras inside the locomotives and passenger cars to simulate pov

Excellent work. This guy has some impressive skills. Truly this display is a work of art. Thanks for sharing.

Great sounds too with a subwoofer! :)

The detail in this layout is just stunning! That's definitely a labor of love. Craftsman for sure. Thank you for sharing. Shalom

[@ronnronn55]

Nice attention to lighting in this one. And the ride along looking out of the side of the train was a nice touch. Thanks, Ronn

Super video of a super layout. Wouldn't mind living and working there!😊

The half-timbered house, with the bay windows! That's mine, choose yours from the rest, OK?

Una maqueta realmente expectacular, un nivel de detalle impresionante y una atmósfera que te traslada al pasado. Muchas gracias por este trabajo y feliz año. 🇪🇸

[@user-br9hv5ku2o]

Some superb modelling which made it looked a lot larger than HO scale. Excellent running and coupling and uncoupling. 😊

[@markvanni394]

Mi piace molto questo diorama. È tutto così perfetto, realistico al 💯%, ha due stazioni di cui una è di testa, case e gente degli anni '40 o' 50, c'è un'armonia incredibile.😮😊🏡🏫🛤️🛤️🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚉🚉

The settings complement the wonderful trains. And lovely music.

この重厚感とサイズが良い…。古びた汚しが完璧だ。モノ好きは世界共通の趣味ですね

A pity that the two railcars didn't have any passengers in the carriages. Did the solo railcar even have a driver? But I loved the vignette of the two men on the porch, that looked just like real life. The trees are magnificent, and the flowers are out-of-this-world. And two beautiful clip-clops pulling the wagon. The paths are the sort that would draw me down them, enjoying the bluebells. Cleverly done, the way that the paths draw the eyes to attempt to go down them. Weird. No railway is complete without at least one dog. But those superb half-timbered houses make up for a lot. They were houses I would live in. If I was small enough. Superbly, fantastically, top drawer modelling.

Perfect modelling with enjoyable moves. Great diorama!

Very beautiful and detailed diorama! Only the sound of the birds often is too loud.

[@steffenrosmus9177]

Beautiful. Excellent capture of the buildings and landscape. Only point of criticism the second T 3 class engine (pusher)is not nessesary. One T 3 is way enough on the flat lines of northern Germany. And the caboose (Packwagen) should be in front of the pusher engine when one is used when I recall the train regulations of the DRO right.

Sehr schöne Anlage, vielen Dank fürs zeigen! Der Gleisplan und eine Übersicht wie die beiden Bahnhöfe verbunden sind wäre toll, ich werde mal das WWW durchsuchen. Sollte es einen Tipp - Link - geben wäre ich dankbar. ☺👍
