Actual 30 inch gauge, well, within 2mm of it  ;D pretty cool.
0-8-0 are one of my favorite steam loco types.
And they did bring a few cords of wood. I wonder how much of the exhaust is smoke and how much is steam.
Nice scene there at 05:03 with track bending along with river bend.
Whoa, I didn't expect the firewood going in to firebox to be that large.

Watched a couple videos suggested at side of page.

De Mocanita van Moldovita, of het stoomtreintje dat vroeger bomen vervoerde uit het bos, en nu toeristen bij bosjes in vervoering brengt. Het is een toeristische attractie op zichzelf. Vanuit Moldovita (Bucovina, Roemeniƫ) kan je een bijzonder leuke rit maken met het smalspoortreintje dat in zijn oude glorie is hersteld. Zeer de moeite waard !"

and for us who don't - there's Google translate!

The Mocanita Moldovita or the steam train that transported earlier trees from the forest , and now brings tourists in droves into raptures. It is a tourist attraction in itself . From Moldovita ( Bucovina, Romania) you can make a very nice ride with the narrow-gauge train that has been restored to its former glory. Very worthwhile !
When all esle fials, go run trains

Agree with you on the 0-8-0. The Bachmann 2-8-0 might lend itself to a kitbashed 0-8-0 along the lines of the Rumanian engines. it would be great if Bachmann reran the 2-8-0 as an 0-8-0.
Really like the horses running with the trains in your video.
Here is another just posted.
