Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There's a nostalgia associated with model trains and railroading -- even if it's unspoken. Railroads take us back to an earlier era. A more basic time. When spending a week or more on a train was seen as a luxury -- an event in itself -- not at as merely a mode of transportation. You've probably already scouted some model railroad shows. You've no doubt recognized the camaraderie and the passion these folks have. And yes, you're interested in becoming a part of that. "The Wonderful World of Model Trains" will help you do just that! It's a comprehensive guide to model railroading written for someone who is new to this hobby, starting with some basic "train knowledge" & terminologies, and continuing on to the more detailed aspects of the hobby. And yes, this hobby can indeed get quite detailed. And that tends to be intimidating to some people. The beauty of this hobby is that you can get involved at just the level you care too. You'll discover that every model railroader is in it for the love of the trains and the history. The vast majority of us are not out to make a fast buck from our interests. Here's some of the things you'll learn in "The Wonderful World of Model Trains": - How to create stunning terrain in your scenery with these 3 simple techniques... - Different scales, gauges, standards in the world of model railroading and what they all mean... - 2 simple keys (that are right in front of your eyes) to build your own benchwork... - WARNING: 3 things you should never do when it comes to wiring... - A pennies on the dollar approach to finding model train parts... - How to avoid derailing problems... - 3 proven steps to running multiple trains on one track... - 6 time tested and proven strategies for laying out train tracks... - When to add onto your set with locomotives and rolling stock... - 7 everyday but often overlooked tips and tricks for building the best layouts for your scenery... - How to do general maintenance on your model trains and tracks... - And much more...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many years ago in Germany, Pilentum Television was born when the author Markus Lenz was trying to make photos and videos of miniature cars in macro photography mode. Because toy cars did not move, Markus was looking for other objects to film. Finally, he found model trains. It is like a challenge to make videos in macro photography mode of model trains in action. In the course of time a preference has emerged to film model railway layouts and model railroad displays to create entertaining, high-quality video documentations. Today, Pilentum Television is one of the leading video networks for toy trains, model trains, model railroading and railway modelling. Pilentum Television presents high-quality documentaries about the wonderful miniature world of model trains. Our modern world offers an unbelievable number of leisure activities, such as video games, railway simulations on the computer and much more. Therefore, such a wonderful hobby as rail modeling should not be forgotten. Model railroading is educationally valuable, and railway modelling promotes the creativity of children. Finally, model trains are a great hobby for adults. Actually, Pilentum Television offers more than 350 videos on YouTube, Dailymotion and Amazon Prime Video, for free. In order to keep track of all video films, this e-book was created. It is a filmography containing descriptions and additional information about Pilentum Television’s movies.

It is a permanent model railway exhibit with thousands of model trains, and there are several model railroad layouts, displays and sections, for example Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Austria, Switzerland, Germany and the famous model airport in HO scale. In September 2016, a new section was opened. This new layout is called “Beautiful Italy”, and it is a masterpiece in model building. It is the state of the art of model railroading. The entire country of Italy is represented on an area of approximately 300 square meters. There are the volcano Vesuvius near Naples, Pompeii, the ancient Roman town-city, the beautiful Amalfi Coast along the coastline of the Salerno Gulf in Southern Italy, South Tyrol, Liguria, Tuscany and of course, the capital city Rome with its St. Peter’s Basilica and with the Colosseum or Coliseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre. This new model railway layout is a work of art in the field of rail transport modelling. It is located at the so-called “Wonderland of Miniatures” in Hamburg, Germany. Visitors of this model railroad exhibit will be a little overloaded because there are amazing, impressive and loving details on every square meter: There are hundreds of little stories which a told by the sceneries. Furthermore, the day and night illumination in Liguria and on the Amalfi Coast is absolutely impressive.
