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

You're welcome! I am glad you found it useful.

Thanks!

Thanks! I really appreciate the feedback. Have you tried the KT kits from HB yourself yet?

@@Spur1Denmark Sorry, was on main account. This is my hobby one. Anyway, I have built at KT (Takom) one with early "Porsche turret" , but I just ordered another one from HB that is also early Porsche turret. The Takom one I built was I believe first KT prototype with that turret. Also, thanks for clarifying for others about the name discrepancies, for years I thought it was Porsche, only to find out it was something different. Takom's is okay, but very excited to try a HobbyBoss kit! My KT build may be in my video listing if you were interested in looking.

Thanks, I'll take a look! Would be curious to see how Takom's builds, as I have an interior one of those in the stash as well. (I will be pacing myself for that one!)

I appreciate your comments a great deal :-) I am really glad you found the information useful! Using Tamiya zim decals might work just fine, if you're lucky. If all that is needed is a modification or two, cutting into the decals, then I think that would count as a success? The "good tracks" in three of the kits should definitely not be a problem, as long as you apply glue sparingly. Good luck with your Panzer IV!

Thanks! I'll look forward to it :)

Thank you for your feedback :-) I use Märlin's reissued Hübner track (brass coloured), but unfortunately also have a lot of older Märklin track (neusilber-colour) which often times have a significantly worse current distribution. For digital control I use an Ecos, with the Touchcab for control. I believe you can also use ESU's app for that. I wish you luck and enjoyment out of it! Who are you working on it, and how is it going?

Thanks :-) Yes, it's coming along slowly but surely.

Thanks!

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.

@@Spur1Denmark Understand and THANKS for letting me know.

@@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).

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.

@@Spur1Denmark thanks for the reply 🙂

@@billyslittlebigadventurech9050 You’re welcome

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.

Sorry, I do not understand?

@@Spur1Denmark It is very nice ,but too grey ,would be interesting to see some vehicles with masking-camuflage

@@reggaelatinus6705 I agree, and if I had built the kits, I would have chosen correct colours for the tritonal vehicles, etc. I am working on my own miliatary wwii train, which you can also see on this UA-cam-channel.

Hello Dion - you are welcome! I really like the details and sound functions of the model, but I unfortunately do not know how accurate it is. I have noticed it handles rails which are placed on uneven terrain poorly, but in curves it’s excellent.

The BR 50 is a great looking lok in 1:22,5 too! This video shows 1:32, and the lok is made of different metals with some detail plastic parts added (maybe). I am impressed by its detail, and it's a joy to watch and hear it run :-)

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.

@@Spur1Denmark Thank you for sharing!

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.

Thanks!

Don't count on being able to remove the weathering no, unless you are talking about doing it soon after, because you might make a mistake when weathering?

@@Spur1Denmark Because you have to consider the value of the model to decrease whem altering its appearance or, when really artistically well done might it increase in value? And, how dirty is realistic? Do we want tot imitate that dirty world? How realistic are the smells and sounds of your model layout? If only the eye can be tricked, there is a world to win for the other senses. There is a lot left for imigination which never can be shrinked, like water, smoke, slow movement of large objects. Models will always look like toys. The only way to overcome this is playing with the real thing like railway enthusiasts do.

@@corvanha1 Obviously a subjective point of view. Personally, I find the weathering process engaging and rewarding. The same goes for most of the results, but not all, of course. When it comes to value, I can live with a Märklin plastic model going wrong ;-)

Det var første dag på arbejde, så jeg synes han klarer det godt ;)

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

KM1, which I also refer to as "Zirkus Krug" because the owner ensures they have extremely poor customer service. Also, a lot of their models used to be full of technical faults in the experience of myself and the club I used to be a member of. So, it is definitely not a recommendation. Further, Märklin's models have better smoke technology and detailing now, in my opinion, which is what used to set them apart. As far as I know, Kiss did not make a BR 56 in gauge 1. Too bad if Märklin cancelled their new line of electrics, it would have been fun with more modern loks to choose from ;-)

There is an earlier video of that on the channel ;) However, it might be time to do an update with which sections are built (trackwise) and which are planned. I appreciate your feedback :-D

Hej Johnny - tak for dit input. Det er altid velkomment. Ja, det er smukke maskiner.

Hi there - sent you a reply over at Scalemates.

Glad you enjoyed it, too :) It’s three sets: One of three units and two of two units.

Märklin gauge 1 switches and decoders of varying degrees. Check out their website.

@@Spur1Denmark Thank you.

You are welcome!

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

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

@@Spur1Denmark awesome, thx for the response!

@@hurricaneace143 You’re welcome!

Thank you, much appreciated :)

The V100/BR213 is a wonderful loco indeed! And fits in so many settings ;)

I am afraid I don't know. It's the original Märklin loudspeaker, which would be in the tender, and I have not opened the model to take a look. You could try writing Märklin, but they are usually not replying to e-mails. Or maybe it helps if you write it in German?

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

One would hope ;-)

Thanks!

Danke :-)

Amadigi Di Gaula Thank you - yes, Kiss Modellbahn Service. But be careful! The quality of the wagons is not high, and I have problems running some other ones, which I bought brand new :(

Thanks for the warning. I have a couple of Marklin‘s Silberlinge which I am very happy with. But I do like Kiss‘s wider choice of livery. But not their short coach style! Haven’t seen how good the Wunder version is but I think they are quite a bit older.

Yes, Wunder's Silberlingen is old, but I don't know how old exactly. If you want to try and get one, I believe Spur 1 Exklusiv still have some (used), which you can ask about via their website.

Thanks, man! There's actually three on here :-) 1. This one. 2. The long one with the awesome music, showing a full layout of a friend. 3. Another short one, with an earlier version of the train you're now seeing. Best regards!

@@Spur1Denmark Have you repainted the Stug-III that I said looked unfinished? I don't remember which one that is.

I looked up your comment on that - it's made in the long video with music, and you were referring to my friend's panther, which he had painted grey. I agree that I have never heard of or seen a panther in army grey, but I think he just likes it that way. Who am I to tell him he can't do what he wants with his models :-)

Nellerkilller 12 Tak skal du have :) Godt nytår!

ScaleModel Thanks! Happy new year :)

Not on my carpet, no :-D

Thank you, highly appreciated!

Thanks, Monte! I really appreciate this!

Thank you :-)

Yes. They are very good looking, and a clear step forward for Märklin at the time, I feel. (Though I should say I have never seen one of their older 3-wheel versions in person.) The wealth of plastic detail on those wagons, combined with suboptimal packaging, unfortunately means you can expect shipping damages. Fixable, but damages :-(

Thanks! Scenery must mostly await the construction of the rest of the layout, the pulling of wires, and setting up of signals. Kiss was bought by two companies, and you can read up on it on their homepage, I believe.

This is described in the manual for the ESU smoke decoders (it's the same in both German and English for both small and big smoke decoders).

Thank you - the model maker will appreciate your comment, I am sure!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video :-)
