Have you got 9 minutes to spare to enrich your life?

Beautiful...even the scenery and real plants/trees look perfectly in keeping with the real HSB, it captures the atmosphere completely!
By sheer co-incidence, only last night I was going through some old copies of GartenBahn Profi from 2011 and was looking at an eight or ten page article on this very layout as a main feature in one of the issues.....definitely the same one, recognised the little SKL24 with the cement mixer on it!

Excellent. Realistic train formations, speeds, signalling, track layout, even some superelevation, only spoiled by the occasional 1:1 scale person in shot! I like the short segment of three blokes pondering something, probably why this *%$% loco isn't moving.
 
If only I could make a Selketalbahn version of this, then I'd be a happy man.
 
Interesting to see the loco stable in use, as the vid was done back in 2011 - the green Mallet looks like a scratchbuild, and the 6101 Pfiffi appears to be the KISS one..... by now he's probably got the pair of TL45 Mallets, though I doubt he's bothered with the plastic Pfiffi (nice though it is) when he's already got a brass one!

One of the "unstarted projects" (read: vague ideas) that I've had for ages is to build myself an SkL24 (or at least something that looks vaguely acceptable as one), as I don't feel like blowing six or seven hundred quid on the Frey model..... reckon one of the "long" LGB motor blocks (the ones with the idler gears, as used on the RhB Tractors), of which I have a spare knocking about, and a couple of cut-about LGB low-sided wagons would get close enough with a plasticard cab.
