World War II Wehrmacht - a diorama in gauge 1 ( Spur 1 )

[@earlcousins6635]

GREAT JOB! I would have spent all day at the show looking at this.

[@Spur1Denmark]

Thanks! The modeller has received lots of praise for his work.

[@Joseph-w3z]

It's a lot of work definitely 😁

[@FrankELembo]

Excellent models & trains with really fine detail work. Liked the soundtrack too. Thanks for posting !

[@Spur1Denmark]

Thanks, man - I appreciate that!

[@FrankELembo]

You're very welcome . I'm currently working on my 1:87 scale WW II HO German Military Layout, my 7 DRG trains are now completed, detailed and battle weathered, I've been working on them for 1 1/2 years + the buildings and structures. So, I really do appreciate the excellent work that you put into yours and I also did pick up some great ideas from you too. Hopefully, my layout wiring and landscaping shall be near completion, if ever, by June /July and then I'll be able to present a decent video here .

[@Spur1Denmark]

Looking forward to seeing that video! I didn't make those models, btw, it's an acquaintance who displayed them at the bi-annual gauge 1 fair here in Denmark. If only I had that amount of time, but I certainly enjoyed his work, too!

[@FrankELembo]

Well, when you meet up with your acquaintance again please, tell him I said Outstanding Job !! Thanks again for posting his work & yours !! Good show !

[@Spur1Denmark]

Thanks, I appreciate that. I will tell him, too!

The most amazing diorama i ever saw...this is absolutely incredible. Whole respect for builders!!!

[@Spur1Denmark]

Thank you, much appreciated :)

[@johnrettig1880]

Great Job . In San Luis Obispo ,Ca . I remember that there's two Model R X R clubs one was working on a setup like yours and the other club was doing something simular but American Equipment train in Detroit . Both were Ho scale . By the way . You've got a Low Level attack coming your way of P - 47's , P - 51's , P - 61's , B - 25's , P - 38's along with Spitfires , Huracains , Bristol Bombers . But don't worry too much half of them are 1 : 48'th scale . And one more item . Burt Lancaster hijacked one of your trains you know the one with all the stolen artwork .

[@Spur1Denmark]

Thanks, man! An acquaintance of mine made all the military transport models, and the trains are all factory made, some modified with armor plating. I believe the rail gun is scratch built, and I know the crane is. With German trains being the most common in gauge 1 here in Europe, it usually follows that we would have German armour and the like. Maybe one could do an MTH and Accucraft US WWII train?

[@ronnyrocket2217]

I was wondering where the cattle cars were

[@jandoerlidoe3412]

What a work to put it all together....dramatic & epic music, very appropriate..

[@Spur1Denmark]

Thanks!

[@earlcousins6635]

What company makes the: A) the trains you used and B) the support structures? I hope I'm not bugging you too much. Thanks.

[@Spur1Denmark]

This particular setup is not owned by me. The information I have is only about the trains, which is a mix of Märklin and KM1 locos, wagons from Märklin (re-labeled in some cases with operating numbers and designations relevant for the period) and some locos (the armored ones) all being scratch-built additions. That's all I know. I have no idea about the makers of the buildings. The platforms, etc., are most likely scratch built.

[@earlcousins6635]

@@Spur1Denmark Understand and THANKS for letting me know.

[@Spur1Denmark]

@@earlcousins6635 You're welcome! I should add that I am informed the tanks, cars, and ship are all plastic kits in 1:35. i was also told that specifically they were Tamiya and Trumpeter (and I recognise the boat as an Italeri, but I could be wrong, I just don't know of any other manufacturer making such a kit).

[@chriscooperkris2780]

Were can i buy thois train set....

[@Spur1Denmark]

You can't buy these models as train sets. The trains and train wagons are/were individually available, and the same goes for the kits of the armoured vehicles, personnel, etc. Some of the models shown are one-off self-built pieces, as far as I know - for instance the crane, the railroad-guns, and armoured trains.

[@crazymcrazym1483]

What scale are they

[@Spur1Denmark]

The model trains are 1:32 (gauge 1) and the military road vehicles, etc., are in 1:35 (plastic kits).

[@izakpunk80]

Excellent Job !!! Two question, what's the scale of this diorama ? And where did you get all this vehicles?

[@Spur1Denmark]

The trains are gauge 1 (1:32), and the military vehicles are 1:35. The military vehicles are readily available as plastic model kits to be assembled and painted. The trains can mostly be bought finished, except for the special military trains, which are specially built. A fellow railroader built it.

[@robchallis2423]

Superb work _ you are a gifted modeller

[@Spur1Denmark]

Thank you! The models are all by a friend of mine, I just recorded and edited this.

[@20july1944]

A Wehrmacht/Reichsbahn train set up in I scale is my dream which I'm confident I'll never actually do. Wonderful work, but I'm puzzled by the Panther in uniform light grey primer -- is that unfinished?

[@Spur1Denmark]

I agree the trains with all that equipment certainly look awesome. I will try and ask the guy who built all the military models if the Panther is unfinished, but my guess is he considers it done. Will return once I've received a reply.

[@chriscooperkris2780]

What scale is this..1/32 ...???

[@Spur1Denmark]

The trains are 1:32, the kits (tanks, cars, boat, figures) are 1:35.

[@montehawes2245]

excellently done frightingly haunting. thanks from canada,

[@Spur1Denmark]

Thanks, Monte! I really appreciate this!

[@goclunker]

That Marklin br89 tank loco weighs a lot in 1 gauge, strong crane!!!

[@Spur1Denmark]

It's actually a BR 80, but your point is correct :-)

[@rwcowell]

Fantastic diorama. Amazing details, and the sombering music is great. Are the AFV pre-made like Forces of Valor or from model kits?

[@Spur1Denmark]

Thank you for the comments. I am sure the builder will be happy. All non-locomotive and building models are plastic model kits, most if not all in 1:35.

Amazing! Guessing this is in Demark based on the title? Is it on permanent display?

[@Spur1Denmark]

The diorama is being put up regularly by the owner and builder at local Danish gauge 1 gatherings :)

[@billyslittlebigadventurech9050]

what a fantastic diorama . Brilliant. I see you had the Führer sonderzug and carriages. Did you get that in kit form or did you do it yourself ?

[@Spur1Denmark]

I only filmed it ;) The führer sonderzug carriages are regular Märklin passenger wagons, if I understand what you are referring to correctly. Modified locos are just that, not kits.

[@owenauer3406]

What scale is gauge 1?

[@Spur1Denmark]

1:32 - so the typical military modelling scale of 1:35 would be about right. There does exist military models in 1:32, but the selection is much, much smaller.

Very nice and detailed Models. But from the darkest Time of german history.

[@Spur1Denmark]

Certanly. That's why I chose darker music, not heroic music, to emphasize that aspect. Beautiful models, but tragic background. The next video is likely to be a collection of recordings from 5 other layouts displayed at the Spor 1 Messe 2016, so that is likely to have no negative subtext ;-) I wish you and your family a happy new year!
