One of Germany’s most extraordinary HO Scale Model Railroad Layouts - 8k Video Ultra HD

In this video Pilentum Television presents a German model railway layout, which contains so many beautiful details that you can’t believe your eyes. Although the HO gauge model trains, especially the electric locomotives run with pantographs up, they fade into the background when you see the extraordinary beauty of the model railroad scenery. There are such beautiful buildings with incredibly detailed interiors for example the workshop for tractors, the locomotive shed, the old gas station or the farm that you think you are in a real world. But it’s just a miniature world built by a German manufactory for professional model railroading in 1/87 scale.
The focus of this HO scale layout is a double-tracked, electrified main line with a branching local railroad. In terms of time, the miniature world is set in Era III on an area of about 380 cm x 270 cm.
On the layout are mainly train sets in operation that were used by the German Federal Railways between the 1960’s and 1980’s. It goes without saying that the model trains have also been weathered perfectly. They look old, rusty and used. The main line is spanned by a large, rusted steel bridge, over which runs the branch line leading to the station. The station is located in the small village of Lindental. Therefore, the name of the entire model railway layout is also Lindental. Lindental is a fictional village in Bavaria. The village only exists in this miniature world.
Steam trains arrive at the railway station and rail buses depart. Next to the station there is a freight loading station and a small locomotive shed for maintenance work. This locomotive shed is completely furnished - it’s amazing! The model railway layout was built for a customer who is a Märklin fan. Therefore, we unfortunately have to see the ugly three rail track. But Markus from Pilentum Television often made such camera slides that the tracks are not visible. Underneath the layout are four hidden fiddle yards where trains for the main line and branch line are parked. The entire rail network is controlled digitally via the PC software “Train Controller”.

Great video! What is this camera, model and brand?

[@garyk8558]

Amazing layout

[@user-sl6zy2us9z]

Удивительно. Талант + трудолюбие = шедевр моделизма. ❤

[@Nitephall]

I'm blown away. You guys even banked the turns. There were cupboards and a coffee pot in that house! That small pond looked so natural with the tree falling into it and the deadfall. This is art.

[@whitedovetail]

I cannot believe the beauty of this layout. Even with a 8k camera, the details are simply perfect. I loved the opening shot because as the train on the lower track went by you could see its reflection in the stream. I have never seen such beauty. Who ever built this layout should get some type of award for outstanding realism and beauty. Wow!!

[@larsmolin8788]

Kunde inte ha sagt det bättre! Ser så verkligt ut!

[@user-mf1kz8em4j]

A miniature MIRACLE! Mesmerising .. I could watch for hours … thanks for sharing this beautiful layout to Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺

[@SergeyNikolaetc]

Красиво и очень душевно! С благодарностью из России!

[@ChannelWright]

I found myself wanting to lie down on one of the grassy patches and watch the trains go by. Remarkable realism!

[@Shevalier.]

это сделано ГЕНИАЛЬНО!👏👏👏 Все детали настолько подробно созданы , кажется что это не макет а реальная жизнь! БРАВО ! БРАВИССИМО! это один из лучших макетов что я видел !!!

[@user-om-g1e]

Это мечта не только всех детей на земле но и многих взрослых)))) Супер !!!!

[@rismul]

Thumbs up! Pantographs up! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@lissanne9769]

This was a feast for the eyes and soul. The details of this layout are amazing. The walls blend in so well with the trees and hills. You can't see where one starts and the other stops. There were so many great video moments in this wonderful little movie, but I really enjoyed the steam engine train passing under the camera. Having that wispy smoke float by was thrilling. Oh, Thank you so very much for this beautiful movie.

[@karlbauer9734]

Diese Anlage zeugt von hohem handwerklichen Geschick, einer großen Beobachtungsgabe, Liebe fürs Detail und einem ausgeprägten Sinn für Ästhetik. Ich bin schlicht begeistert.

[@pilentum]

Danke fürs Feedback!

[@trevorgarner5803]

What an absolute gem of a layout .A credit to the builders and modellers .

[@ralfgrandrath1608]

Ein absolutes Juwel einer Anlage , so viel Liebe und Details in einem Layout habe ich selten gesehen , Weltklasse ! 🤩🤩

[@pilentum]

Danke für das Lob!

[@user-ux8rc7rq6u]

😮🎉 смотреть приятно, все так детально проработано с фантазией. Одним словом наслаждение. Авторам макета спасибо за их талант. Да и снято хорошо.

[@HeavyMetalMech]

So much detail everywhere. The track doesn't offer the trains a chance to wobble. So well laid out and finished. Beautiful work.

[@othernicksweretaken]

Was soll ich all den begeisterten Kommentaren noch hinzufügen? Das sind so schöne Bilder, dass man auf der Stelle aus dem hier und jetzt des galoppierenden Irrsinns und zunehmenden Horrors in diese herbstliche, ländliche Idylle der frühen 70er seiner Kindheit entfliehen möchte.

[@deusvult7559]

Wonderful job of filming and editing in GLORIOUS 8K!!! I'm not a big fan of weathering personally, but I know a quality job when I see it. This guy knows his stuff and has spent many hours creating this masterpiece. Thanks for sharing!

[@lottaaction8072]

The scenery artist did a spectacular job!

[@radoslawczapskiRado]

PRZEPIĘKNA ROBOTA. SZACUNEK DLA TWÓRCY ZA WŁOŻONY WYSIŁEK

[@scotabot7826]

These layouts are on par with the absolute best in the world!!! Very few have the talent and minds eye that is required to build something as absolute real as these videos show. Just mind blowing to have the raw talent to pull something like this off. I'm just speechless!!!!!

[@Predikant]

The authentic look of all of the structures, landscaping and rolling stock is truly phenomenal, I cannot imagine how many hours were spent creating this fine layout.

[@SteveMikre44]

Pilentum did a fantastic job filming this beautiful and extraordinary model train layout. 8K 1080p really makes this layout come to life...

[@DSuer-mf2vy]

8K makes 4320p. About nobody of us has seen the real quality, unless you have an 8K screen at home.

[@jurgenwrede5452]

One of the best I have ever seen. Perfect realistic layout

[@emausderratsuchende5447]

There is only one word for it....masterpiece

[@Bulik119]

Luxusní layout, nádherné kolejiště ! :) 😍👍

[@bearowen5480]

Remarkable achievement in modeling. There are far too many superlative aspects of this incredible layout to adequately comment upon them here beyond what others have already said. One special thing that jumped out to me was how this modeler was able to create tree foliage in the stage of seasonal change from summer green to autumn hues all in the same tree! I don't think I've ever seen that done before. I would like to know how this was accomplished. It demonstrates how skilled and imaginative he/she is, and what a great eye for prototypical detail it's creator has. It's one thing to notice it in nature, but an entirely different and rare occurrence for someone to re-create it in miniature....truly gifted as an artist as well as a modeler.

[@Demun1649]

I love the folds, dips, and little valleys in the hills, nice to see nature modelled so well. The trains ran well, so smooth, and most of the freight being of a decent length.

[@victornijmeijer9372]

Niemals so etwas gesehen, fabelhaft, ein traum!!!!!!

[@johnmudd6453]

The best layout I have seen! The attention to miniscule detail is amazing, well done .

[@gerritliskow2399]

An idealised late 60s / early 70s version of provincial Germany. Fantastic surface weathering, grass and shrubbery are very well done, truly an exceptional achievement 👏 😀 👍

[@johaliversantvoort4189]

Dit is prachtig en zo mooi gefilmd. De details, de omgeving, dit wekt nostalgische gevoelens op. Ik kan er naar blijven kijken.

The scenery, the trees and shrubs. The grasses and soil. This is a very well done and inviting world to lose one's self in for a time.

[@jorgesabater8640]

At last! A beautiful modeler's layout with Märklin trains and accesories. I had almost lost hope. It's breathtaking! The scenery is paradise. Pantographs up all the way. Even K track and switches look superb here! Wonderful wide curves with flex track. Everything is beatiful. Other Märklin enhhusiasts can learn a thing or two. You made my day!

[@graymcgowan2224]

Truly amazing. The detail and realism is incredible.

[@cireperso]

Un réseau magnifique avec un décor remarquable. Et que dire du matériel roulant avec une patine du plus bel effet. Vous nous régalez avec cette vidéo très bien réalisée. Bravo au constructeur de cette merveille !

Having attempted to build-up a much smaller maquet 70 years ago with my Father I must offer you and team my heartiest congratulations for your extraordinary success! Thank you!

[@pilentum]

Thanks!

[@Juizhaigou]

Wunderbar. Thanks for the nostalgia, charm & serenity of a bygone era.

[@ricksavaiano5640]

That is a spectacular layout which I would love to see in person.

[@Christerart]

This is the most lifelike layout I'll ever seen! Stunning - absolutely stunning! Weathering and nature (trees, bushes, grass) - fantastic!

[@ypehille]

but no people or cars. but a very detailed layout

[@gottfriedrauecker6547]

Sehr schöne Anlage, mit viel Liebe zum Detail und auch exakt passendem Hintergrund. Bravo😍

[@richardbremer6232]

Fabulous! Great landscaping, buildings, details, etc!!!

[@meruliouslacrimens5154]

Absolutely the best way to see models like this, as i am sure that not only would you need a week to see it all if you went to visit, but you would never be able to get close enough to see all the amazing details unless you have learned to levitate as well. Astounding skills shown here, plus every now and then you get a joke of sorts, maybe a glimpse of somebody reading a newspaper whilst sitting on a toilet, or hens flapping about in a yard. I am a retired passenger train driver for British Rail and always notice those little gems. I also see when drivers have been put in cabs, or passengers in trains. Now here is an idea, a platform with passengers on it, but train goes along side, platform revolves lengthwise, train departs showing empty platform. Suggesting they all got onto the train. If anybody can do it, it must be your technical crew.

[@cranegantry868]

Amazing! Very precise.

[@sheldonbazinga3985]

Absolument incroyable! Quel réalisme et quel souci du détail! Wunderbar!

[@joopspeth6483]

Magnificent detailing, really stunning!

[@bangfi1865]

Wonderful, romantic time travel at its best. I miss that time, we had no money, but no body else did either, so we were happy. Thankyou.

[@user-ec3xk1fo5c]

У нас в СССР тем более больших денег ни у кого не было. Но, тем не менее, модели железной дороги из ГДР были достаточно доступны, по крайней мере в крупных городах. У многих детей была железная дорога, мы её называли "немецкой", с разными строениями, деревьями и машинками в том числе. Многие став постарше делали макеты, хоть и не сложные. А сейчас же железнодорожное моделирование стало довольно дорогим и доступным не всем. По крайней мере у детей сейчас таких моделей нет, ими исключительно взрослые занимаются.

[@gabrielgabidu13]

Je suis sans voix ! C'est absolument magnifique 😊 Merci beaucoup !

The people who do this are so good at what they do, they should recreate the world as it used to be. For example, Europe's medieval landscapes, etc.
