The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

This is a Danish documentary from 1941 about the construction of six new heavy freight locomotives for the state railways. It shows the building process of both the full-sized engines and a scale model, and ends with footage of test runs and their entry into service.

What happens

Lokomotivet er en film med ukendt instruktør. I løbet af sommeren 1941 blev Statsbanernes lokomotivpark forøget med seks nye svære godstogslokomotiver af typen Litra H (783-788). Lokomotiverne, der var bestilt i september 1939, svarede i hovedtrækkene til de tolv H-maskiner, som DSB havde fået leveret allerede i 1923-26. De nye maskiner blev bygget af A/S Frichs, Aarhus. Filmen viser de vigtigste faser af bygningen både af det store flotte lokomotiv og af en bevægelig 1:10 model. Til slut vises flotte billeder fra prøvekørsler og ibrugtagning.
