The Great Model Railway Layout in 1 Gauge at the Hamburg Museum

In Hamburg, there is not only the Miniatur Wunderland, but there is also the very impressive model railway layout, namely one of the oldest and largest model railway displays in Europe in 1 Gauge. The model train layout is located at the Hamburg Museum. The entire model railway shows an image of the station Hamburg-Harburg. A century of railroad history is represented. Since 1949, trains running on 1,200 meters of track. There are old diesel locomotive models, steams and modern trains. If you don't like the commercial Miniatur Wunderland, you should look at this historical model railway layout, which was opened in October 1949 at the Museum of Hamburg History. Most elements of this layout are handmade and not from retail packages, including signals, buildings, locomotives and wagons. The model trains are controlled by Gahler & Ringstmeier software.

Excellent video. I was there earlier 2017 and when the trains started running the layout came alive! I highly recommend a visit.

I never saw model railroad signals work as good as the signals did on this layout. Super cool!

what's that weird looking locomotive at 2:56?

[@Chuttanooga]

This is "Der Gläserne Zug" DR-Baureihe ET 91 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn, built in 1935/36. There ar only 2 of them ever which one of them was destroyed in 2nd Worldwar. The other railcar then was immured for safety. Since 1968 the railcar became Baureihe 491 in the Deutsche Bundesbahn. In 1995 the 491 001-4 was stopped by a heavy accident in Garmisch-Partenkirchen station.

aww.

The individual elements are superbly crafted but the whole is undermined by probably the two cheapest elements, the quality of the laying of the permanent way, level, alignment, cant, and control, with that equipment a greater control of speed, usually slower, is easy to achieve while coming to a halt shold have more of a power off, brake, and release feel, sorry if that sounds harsh.

[@pilentum]

Yes, but note: The layout has been around for over 40 years...

[@David-ci1vn]

@@pilentum That I didn't know and is fair comment; I must be getting old, as it was in 1974 that I had controller with two levers, one to act as the regulator and a second as the brake, I can't remember what it was called, but you could bring even low mass N gauge locos to a gentle "fade" stop, we didn't need sophisticated DCC to do that.

Eine schöne Anlage, jedoch sollten die Züge nicht so rasen.
