Steam locomotive and ho scale trains: Model railroad operation session in Virgental by Wim de Zee

[@ryanwebb5082]

I admire anyone who takes the time and effort to produce something that transcends even model railways. It's a work of art!

[@richardschippers7187]

Truly stunning craftsmanship! What a joy to watch, especially the details along the tracks, the classic German buildings and the stonework in the tunnel entrances and supporting walls. I can’t stop marveling at it, what an achievement!

[@balentinesamarripa7793]

You have a fantastic layout, Thank you for all your work, I hope that other generations will enjoy them like I do.

Insane. I kept calling my son to come look at 'this' and look at 'that'! The detail us astonishing!

Sehr schön. Ich liebe Züge-Modellen. Wenn ich es sehe, bin ich wieder kleines Mädchen, wie vor viele Jahren. Meine Tochter hat aus mir sehr Spaß 😁. Grüße aus Prag.

Stunningly realistic layout. From the stone wall, to the buildings, to the doors opening on the train shed, to the turntable, the perfectly weathered cars, including the blackened coal cars, the people waiting for various trains at the station, no detail is overlooked. By far one of the best layouts I have ever seen. And it is further enhanced by the tremendous camerawork. Thank you for featuring this masterpiece. 🙏 🚊🚃🚉🚞👍 Edit. The cab-view rides towards the end of the video where an added bonus. Hope you will be continuing that in the future. 👍

Yes, the last scene was a little bonus :-)

I felt the spirit of my mother's father. My grandfather. Who drove for the Die Bahn until he retired from there. And I felt my uncle Jim's spirit too. He was a very big railfan. My grandfather drove every train shown in the layout. Very awesome video. And very detailed too. I hope to see more.

16:28 this is incredible detialing and setup, even the fire in the shed is burning let alone the doors opening remotely just Wow

[@lissanne9769]

Absolutely wonderful video. This has got to be one of the finest little movies I've seen when it comes to hobby trains. The camera angles and the moving camera on a train or dolly was really something very cleaver. Audio quality sounded very authentic, and added to the feeling of realism. The layout itself has so many layers and levels that it's just spectacular. There was a lot of attention to detail. Incredible! But my favorite part was the cab rides. Somebody in this video knows a lot about cameras and filming movies. Thumbs up to everyone who made this magnificent video. Thank you so much for this fun ride.

I visited Wim in the Netherlands in September 2021. I didn't know what to expect that day, as I only knew his model railway layout from photos. When we looked at the model railway layout, it was immediately clear to me that I was standing in front of a work of art! I very much regret that I was not able to film all the details that Wim so lovingly built.

[@lissanne9769]

@@pilentum I'm alway happy to see Pilentum's video. All of what goes into making these videos/movies are amazing. But I was astonished by the architect, Wim and his attention to details. Some were so tiny a person could completely miss it. Pilentum's contribution to this wonderful work of art cannot be understated though. You have brought it to life. Especially for people who can't go to see it in person, like me. I cannot Thank You enough for bring these incredible videos to KZbin and me. I have watched every download for five years now.

An absolutely stunning layout showing the magnificent views of many beautiful aspects of Germany which I was fortunate to have lived and travelled through in the 70's and 80's. The talent, skills, effort and knowledge in addition to the dedication and commitment to build this fantastic layout to such a degree of quality detail is truly astounding. "Ik neem mijn petje af ". Ongelofelijk mooi! The filming and editing is also world class. Wonderful indeed! Such a pleasure to watch as have all of the videos that I have seen so far from Pilentum.

Steam locomotive for namesake, no steam, no whistle, no smoke, no acceleration ... each one running same speed. The detailing is impressive no doubt and beautiful too. At least there should have some click-clack of wheels hitting the track joints reminding of the old era.

[@vany1957]

The décor is really superb, and everything is rendered with a great realism. One criticism though: the trains are too "clean"! Steam locomotives should bear traces of grease on the axles, limestone near the boilers, and the cars should be soiled by fumes and soot...

[@smb123211]

Audio? The problem with most of these train set videos is the intense concentration on one tiny detail after another when we most want is an overall picture of the reproduction. One of the best on KZbin (forget which one) has as its default pic the entire setup. It then visits details but returns to the overall pic which i really liked.

[@robinred1851]

[@TimoIivonen]

Hello how are you? I want to share you This is a message from your loving God. God is a loving God and want to save us all. God dont want anybody to suffer or have a hard life. Meaning of life is love and that's what God wants. Thats the meaning of life. If we would take care and love each other that would solve all the problems. But world is not like that. World is a sinful world. God dont destroy this world but we humans do. His immediately ready if you want to serve him. God will show you the right path what leads to life. Its a path of love. God made us and have eternal love and mercy. This world is not what God wanted. But he gave us free will. You can choose good or bad. Thats why he send he's only son Jesus that we had mercy. Jesus is God too because he is God's only son. Now this world have went to very wicked and our God is crying. So many peoples are on the path of destruction. World have allways been wicked but now is extremely bad times going on. God want's peoples to come back to serve him and he wants to give forever life and happiness. God is a God of love, mercy, justice and a judgment. He love us peoples as much as hes son Jesus. There is one big lie going on this world. Its an evolution lie. First please think this thing. Why all the fruits, berrys and vegetables taste so good? Anybody can go to own home kitchen and try to do the same taste. Then look up please and watch those extremely beautiful birds. Do you really believe birds came from dinosaurs? We need very light bones, right size, correct shape, a bird's beak and feathers. And the same time birds are very beautiful. I send only these two questions to evolution professor and nothing came back(Why berries taste so good and how those little birds survived without wings) Then they say evolution gave animals camoflash to survive. Well if we look black panther. They say it's black because it's a night-time hunter and that black color also give it protection during night-time. First thing: evolution dont have brains and it gave that black color they say. Second thing: Please think how many shades of colors are and all animal have to be black. Third thing: Then they say there were many panthers with another color also and the best color was left. Because it's the best color in the nigh time. This is a lie also because: if you think like evolutionist's: the animals system also have to know to do black anymore. Rabbit is also brown when it's a summer and white when it's a winter. We need intelligence to do that. They say also evolution develops animals or Humans what kind of element we live. Why then fish have gills and whale have lungs? They say first came the first cell and that was finally a fish. And then finally fish came to land and it was frog or something. But thats inpossible because gills should also transform to lungs under the water. They brake their own logic when they say that. And how about a whale. Whale proves also God is real because it have lungs. Theory of evolution tells everything started from ocean. They also say that plants came from ocean and thats why we have now. Thats a lie because: The plants have an underwater pollination system. If something comes to the beach it will die for it. And they are breaking their logic again. Fish and other water animals and plants belong to sea. Only our loving God can create life and everything what we humans and animals need. People can try to think but the deeper we try to dig the more lost we are. We cant ever create life from nothing. A simple car engine also needs its maker, parts, fuel and the right structure to work. I had health problems about six years ago. Finally it was so bad i thought im gonna die. My heart was beating fast. My blood pressure was high. Then i started to lose my energy. When i try to walk my legs felt heavy and my stamina went very bad also. Then i started losing my sleep. Eventually i crashed a little into the road and asked God and Jesus to help. Finally I started to run in the toilet all the time too. Then the very awful thing came. I lost fastly almost all my ability to sleep and I started to loose my weight. Blood came out of my nose and I started to lost my hairs too. I visit hospitals and private hospitals too but they couldn't help me. They gave me beta blockers to my heart and finally medicine to my high blood pressure too. I wanted to get inside the hospital but they refused to take me in. In private hospitals they couldn't understand why they dont take me in the main hospital. Finally I contact to other country and I asked can you take me in the hospital. Then they asked where are you here? I told im in the other country and I need a help. But they told me we cant take you in because you dont live here. So I can tell you money didnt help me. Later I told my family im gonna die very soon because I felt completely awful. Finally I asked again God to help me. Then finally my Mother saw one Angel vision and three Jesus vision. After that it took few days and my health came back. I got my sleeping back and my heart started to calm down. I started to gain weight. Blood pressure went back to normal and finally I got all my hairs back. This Is very short version what happend to me but I was close to death. God Is real and loves us very much. When you begin to seek God you Will find True love. Read the Bible too please because its a perfect book. Thats how you know God Is real💕🙏. Read what Jesus told because its perfect talk💕🙏

[@SVSportscars]

They are brake houses. Can't say exactly how they worked. But I got it correct inside is a system to brake the wagon, from times before air brakes etc. Later wagons didn't have them but in some cases they didn't remove them and stayed on the wagon till the end of it's life.
