The Magic of Backdrops for Model Railroad Layouts: Narrow-gauge Railway in Salzburg in Austria

Actually, it’s just a narrow-gauge model railroad layout built in HO scale by a group of German model railroaders. But that certain something of this HO scale layout is highlighted by the amazing high quality photo backdrop, background or backscene. Therefore, Pilentum named this video “The Magic of Backgrops for Model Trains”.
However, in this this video we are going to discover a superb scale model of the famous “Pinzgauer Lokalbahn”, formerly known as “Pinzgaubahn” or “Krimmler Bahn”, a narrow-gauge railway in Salzburg in Austria. This nearly 50 kilometer railroad crosses the Pinzgau mountains through a breathtaking landscape. Although Steffen Pohl, Michael Geifes und Rainer Dargel are train enthusiasts from Germany, they decided to construct this Austrian railroad.
The combination of highly detailed weathered locomotives and trains with this tailor-made high quality photo backdrop and the amazingly designed landscape is truly spectacular. It’s a little work of art and a masterpiece of model railroading. On the layout, various narrow-gauge trains commute from the fiddle yard on the left to the fiddle yard on the right. There is also a replica of the “Tischlerhäusl” rail station, which in reality is located near Zell am See, Austria. Furthermore, there are a factory, a large sawmill and an abandoned gravel mill.

I love this video - so realistic - the backscene is awesome and the music enhanced the movement of the slow moving train 🚂 I have watched and saved almost all of your videos and they are every one awesome - this one stands above the others for the realism and the backscenery 😁💕 Thank you for sharing another awesome video 👍💕💕

Thank you very much!!!

[@jacquespats5796]

Upon which country/town is the layout based. Sweden? Switserland?

[@elnabjelland-hughes8172]

Jacques Pats This is a scale model of a narrow gauge railway in Austria- near or in Salzburg - it is amazingly accurate in its detail

[@jacquespats5796]

@@elnabjelland-hughes8172 thank you for info and correction. Its an absolutely awesome layout.

Que pasada, sencillamente impresionante.

[@BrokebackBob]

Really stunning, breathtaking realism! Might be nice to have some people actually ON the train. Use warm white LEDs for streetlights not cold, blue-white.

[@medwaymodelrailway7129]

Great layout . Have subscribe to your channel.

[@michaelgmoore5708]

Hard to believe that is a model. The scenery must have taken years.

[@jeannot46]

Ah si j'avais pu mettre cinq pouces bleus!!!!!

[@pilentum]

C'est très gentil à vous. Merci beaucoup !

Nice tarin modle

[@monsterjerky1835]

wow wow wow, I have a question: why a train carrying a train cart on the railway ?

[@johnvarley428]

The wagon is being carried on a transporter wagon. This is so that standard gauge rolling stock, can be moved on a narrow gauge railway, and save tiime by avoiding having to unload it, until it arrives at its ultimate destination. This happens a lot in Switzerland and to an extent in Austria. In the UK it was very rare, only the Leek & Manifold Light Railway used this system to tranport milk tankers from dairy to the main standard gauge line.

Hello Vienna calling falco

[@Ondr4H]

I watched almost all youur videos, but this new approach with added music is kinda bad turn... This music kinda distract from these images...

[@pilentum]

Only sometimes I use music. In this case, the music is better than the original sound. Note, the model train layout was at a exhibition and in the background there were at least 100 people all talking. Hence the music...
