A neat little On3 layout, created by Swedish modelers Torbjörn Holmberg and Anders Bondesson. A glimpse of rural Sweden in the early 1950´s.

Very interesting video with interesting tricks video, where, for example, real smoke and people were employed in the appropriate size.

Despite the coarse track standards and lack of crew in the locos, this has a real atmosphere about it. A believable little place to get lost in. Thanks for posting this.

Very nice video. I agree that the ghost trains with no crew is a bit spooky, but there is nothing coarse about the track standard. The layout uses H0 scale Rp-25 wheels, me thinks, so while it is not exactly fine scale, it is far from coarse scale.

Very nice! It's a great looking layout. The live-action characters were subtle enough to add interest without being distracting. The smoke and steam was less effective, but of course it's a much more difficult thing to pull off successfully -- I applaud the effort.

I also got a kick out of the humorous ending.

I like the overall atmosphere of the layout - thanks for posting! The prototype sounds still work best of the different 'tricks' in my opinion (I'm sure the makers don't really think their steam and the inserted persons look deceptively realistic, too, and maybe less was more here ), but the track gives it away for me at the latest. It isn't so much the coarseness in it's detailing with the missing nails (I'm sure there were railways with nailed track - without plates), but there are so many unmotivated curves in opposite directions and changes of radius within one curve. In German we would call this "Verniedlichung" and I'm not quite sure if the translation 'minimization' boils it down to an essence. Anyway - it would be interesting to see some outside daylight pics of the layout.

Cheers,

The added Photoshop animations were quite good except a number of the men had the same runny nose and bad cough.
Engineers missing from the cab is one of my pet peeves and really should be there in this high quality layout.
Nice ending with the animation added.
