Vintage Model Trains in O Scale with Cab Ride at the Dresden Railroad Museum

If you like vintage trains, locomotives and railways, you will love this model railway layout at the Dresden Railroad and Transport Museum. This model railroad layout was built in the 1960's in O scale in the German Democratic Republic, i.e. East Germany. Originally, the model train layout and its signal box were used to explain the rail traffic to young railway engineers, for example, they learned about the process of signalling control of train movements and block systems to ensure that trains operate safely. Today, this model train layout is a very popular destination, especially during the Christmas season. In this video, you can watch many locomotives and trains of East Germany. Furthermore, Pilentum installed a little camera inside the locomotives for making cab ride videos.

The trains were built in 1960 in East-Germany. Actually, the whole layout is controlled by Gahler + Ringstmeier. There are no decoders inside the locomotives, but the trains are controlled by the tracks and block circuits.

Iron curtain era model trains.

This and the dilapidated Trix express layout is the oldest layout on this channel, unless you count the tinplate exhibition.

I want that Aero train at 48:00!

[@MatthewJerabek]

what brand of trains are they?

[@RganetworkNet]

Rail King?

[@rhbeadlejr]

Why don't they ballast the track?

[@pilentum]

They want to preserve the condition of the tracks as it is. No renovation, no improvement. It is a museum's exhibition.

[@travisolson9190]

Does this layout have automatic control, and what are manufacturers of these trains?

[@bonntv]

HO Scale!

[@rlm98253]

Very unrealistic train speeds.
