This is amazing. A testament to old skool German engineering.

Funny but steam engines aren't designed to run for 8 decades. We have a few oldies still running but I don't think any of them are in regular service.

Given the price of fuel?
Might see a resurrection of coal burner steam engines!

It's amazing how much smoke those old coal burners produce.

Being a model railroader youtube keeps my news feed full of train related stuff so I imagined that was why I was seeing it but who knows how their algorithms (really) work.

I've tried to find the yt video from some exhibition where they showed a lot of huge RC models, trucks Excavator, and old locomotive.

In this video you saw a man pour water and some other things into his train set-Locomotive with some old passanger wagons.

It was fun to watch

How big are the displays that you put up and are they a seasonal thing, like around Christmas ?

Prior to watching the footage my guess would have been located in Poland.

Back in the early nineties whilst living and working in Holland a small group of us would drive across Germany during a week off work and enter Poland....it always felt like taking a journey back in time.

THat engine in HO scale retails for about $4-500 dollars. (Sigh)
