I got to thinking, one can model the re-railing of derailed trains on the layout as well. Stock a hilfszug in a station and then figure out how to get it to the scene to correct the issue... not just reach out and put it back via hand of god (though that will happen once the hilfszug is at the scene). Does anyone do this? Edited by user 22 November 2016 23:25:13(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

I think old Hagen von Ortloff, the introductory voice, speaks some of the clearest and finest German I have ever heard. I was also reminded of my student days when I worked in Scottish coal mines. When a 'tub' which held half a ton of coal or a damn sight more if it was stone, was derailed, you really had to jam your arse seriously into it and heave to get it back on the rails.
