Bill Kachel's Incredible Model Railroad in HO Scale! November 5 2023

[@charlie1872]

Over the years I have worked in consulting engineering, I had worked on many projects like these I see in the video so I know how much effort it takes to design structures like these and integrate them into the infrastructure . Outstanding

[@charlie1872]

This is the most incredible layout I have ever seen. I would love to understand how he built all those buildings and bridges. He is a credit to the hobby and inspirational. Thanks so much for sharing this .

[@travelingman484]

This is at a whole other level. Spectacular isn’t enough of an accolade to describe this master work of art. Bravo!!!

[@wixom01]

@travelingman4581 Totally agree. Just another level of craftmanship. I've been involved in model RR'ing for almost 50 years, and I've never seen anything like this.

[@btcbob11392]

I cant believe one person did this. Amazing doesn't even begin to describe this layout.

[@AchimSinhuber]

Thank you from Germany for the great video. I've got many ideas!

[@alpugliesetrains9753]

love the vacuum tubes used in the substation at the beginning of video. beautiful and creative layout.

[@karinalagarche6480]

Very nice model .................. congratulations !!!

[@longrider50]

Amazing doesn't begin to describe this layout. Bill's attention to detail is unreal. I can't imagine how long the catenary took to construct.

[@jbl7092]

Amazing! What a talented man. He's a true artist.

[@vanhenry3601]

If you ever have the opportunity to visit this layout, go!. You will not be disappointed. This layout is a marvel. I was there November 4th also. I filmed the layout but Al’s video is much better. And he states it well, this is a work of Art.

[@bridgwatersidings5781]

Incredible 😊

[@bennettdickmann1602]

During your introduction you referred to the model railroad as “a work of art”. Well said. How right you are. Too many people think of model railroading as “playing with toys”. They need to see what you are kind enough to share with us.

[@alpugliesetrains9753]

WOW! This is by far one of the most detailed layout I have ever seen, beautiful! If they give out awards this would be at the top!

[@alpugliesetrains9753]

I totally agree!

[@monmixer]

@@alpugliesetrains9753 What city are you replicating here?

[@TwoRailfans]

That is one of the most detailed layouts I've ever seen! I can only imagine what the station looks like in person.

[@monmixer]

Love to see this lit up with the lights down.

Amazing work beautiful house

[@bruceritchie3874]

This has to be the BEST detailed layout I have ever seen. Bill has done an amazing job and I put him in the same category as the late great Bill Allen with his Gorre & Daphetid layout. So many things have evolved with kits scenery materials etc and Bill has taken detailing to another level with his skills and attention to detail. Thanks Al for an awesome tour, you have prompted me to do better with my layout.

[@johnpaxx]

John Allen was a pioneer, but he never woke up on the day he was better than this. No way.

[@anthonyborden2513]

Excellent layout 👌

[@TheRealDannAlexander]

This is incredible.

[@selectooldave]

[@adriengadson3544]

This is a lot of money , time , and creativity. This has to be at least 30 or more years in this build. You hit a Gold Mine on this video of this layout..Exhausting just watching it.

[@lleroy8929]

Beautiful!

[@monsvillerailways5736]

Incredible attention to detail. Amazing. 👍

[@RailRoadFans]

Amazing Layout!

[@richardlees778]

Been there very nice layout, but the brass trains on the wall are real nice too.

[@alpugliesetrains9753]

Yes thank you

[@grahamsawyer831]

[@ottavva]

HATS OFF ❤❤❤ GOD BLESS YOU

[@andyrichmond1858]

Absolutely mind blowing sir! Thank you I have never seen better.

[@Nick60606]

Amazing!!! All the coloration is done sooo tastefull! Ho does e keep it dust free and all the tracks clean. Also cant imagine what it cost......

[@jaunosavinsoltesz9784]

Incredible. Awesome walk thru!

[@davidbingham2150]

This lay out is AMAZING!!!!

[@J3scribe]

That layout transcends the boundary between super-detailed and pure madness! It looks like a million hours went into creating it, and possibly the same amount of dollars. Just stupendous.

Incredible layout. I cant wait for the next installaments and to hear from Bill about his journey.

[@alpugliesetrains9753]

Thanks ! The railroad will be open again after Thanksgiving . Go to www.modelrailroadopenhouse.com for info

[@HillbillyNitroUSA]

Beautiful masterpiece of a layout!

[@davidlavigne207]

This is a trip to my past for me. Although I resided in Massachusetts during the 1960's I saw many scenes and heard many of these railroad sights and sounds. I wish my late father could have seen this, for he dearly loved anything railroad and railroad modeling. Spectacular!

[@alpugliesetrains9753]

Thanks hope you decide to subscribe to help the channel

[@tomd8658]

Of all the layouts I've seen on KZbin this one is mind bogglingly busy. By far the best layout out there as far as I'm concerned. I'm glad I stumbled across it. I feel compelled to travel from the Midwest to see it in person.

[@alpugliesetrains9753]

Thanks I felt the same hence the 3 other videos I posted of it hope you decide to subscribe

I have seen one like this in Germany. What a great landscape.

[@edg1754]

I"m speechless.

[@frankkie3849]

This is up there in details with Wunderland in Hamburg Germany..Even they would be impressed..thanks for sharing..

[@jwrarmstrong]

Absolutely the best layout on youtube which is basically the world as we know it. The effort, time and imagination that went into this is astounding.

[@HowardZane]

Just wonderful !!!! Do not get a cat!!!!

[@everettthepetractionguy4222]

I thought only George Sellios was capable of doing layouts like this. 🙄 This is AWESOME! I was hoping to see a lot more traction equipment running around the layout with all that catenary above the tracks. I'm a traction fanatic, so I was a little disappointed there. But, still, I am really impressed with the details in this layout. It's difficult to imagine a single person putting this whole thing together. What a masterpiece! I'm glad to have seen it!

[@ThePaulv12]

Man there is an "in cab' tour of this layout from about 7 years ago. Perhaps that'll satiate your primitive urges LOL: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYetaKucoMmrbK8

[@bruceenlow8480]

Very enjoyable to watch such great detail. Is this modeled after any specific city or just a city?

[@jerrycomo2736]

I like the barges, boats, ships, USS Isherwood Destroyer. The modeling of "Horseshoe Curve" is great. My first time seeing that landmark modelled.

[@fdcap9835]

I’m in absolute awe! Where is Sunnyside yard? LOL

[@kevinbrown1629]

Wow. That is awesome. I wonder how many man hours that took to build.

[@PS-jr1yq]

Howard Zane,George Sellios,Bill Kachel and Boomer are the 4 best model railroaders on the planet...period.

[@monmixer]

Oh crime in Italy. He has shipyards and everyhting in there. Good stuff , I considered getting into this hobby but it's quite expensive to do right and I'm certainly mature enough to skip the the beginners set. Learning to work on some old cars would certainly help but I'm not quite over my first love of guitars.

[@douglasmaddox7808]

My God! That was magnificent. Has his layout been featured in any of the magazines?

[@simonetaormina7080]

I have seen other videos, the catenary system on this rr is amazing

[@whiterose7055]

I remember reading an article on a layout with operating overhead catenary back in an early 1960's MR and wonder if this is the same one. It sure is a beautiful piece of moving artwork!

[@FernandoJimenez-mj8vg]

Una fantástica ciudad y con infraestructuras de gran creación, que lo que no tiene son trenes, que es lo que observo. Creía que era una maqueta de trenes pero me defraudaron. . .

[@davidbingham2150]

Can I ask how did he build the Penn train station, that is AWESOME

[@alpugliesetrains9753]

It's explained in my other video on my channel great buildings on Bill kachels layout. View it to see. You might want to watch all 3 videos I uploaded in my videos on the channel

[@Kevin15301]

This is an amazing model, very good video also. I searched for open house dates, but could not find anything. Can you point me to a website that lists open houses for this and other model railroads?

[@alpugliesetrains9753]

It was advertised 2 months ago all during October November. I do not know when the next open house will be but if I find out I will pass along the info . The website was modelrailroadopenhouse.com

[@anthonyborden2513]

I'm in the process of building a layout the Northeast corridor from NYC to shore points nj nj transit, Amtrak, conrail, and winchester and western freelance all cantary up like this be great to see this in person

[@alpugliesetrains9753]

He is having another open house go to modelrailroadopenhouse.com for info

[@fasalalbana4913]

Absolutely awesome

[@johnvaudo8890]

1st naval ship was the USS Isherwood DD-520 Fletcher class Destroyer

[@olentangyriver1191]

He has a lift bridge that looks exactly like bridge one on the Cuyahoga river, the whole thing is mind blowing..

[@christiandpaul2022]

WOW!! When you are ready you need to donate the whole thing to the Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC.

[@stuartkorte1642]

RRemarkable!!!!

[@johnharley4112]

Now that is modelling, but how do they keep it clean?

[@simonetaormina7080]

Absolutely beautiful layout. Other videos do not do it any justice, one more question do they switch out industries? For example the steel mill the gondolas look beautiful, are they scenery? Or do cars get shuffled around? Either way stil a Wow😮 layout. Tuff call between this one the FSM and Howard Zane. I guess if you do an interview those questions will be answered. Look forward to it.

[@alpetterson9452]

Does anyone know what city this is replicating. NY or somewhere in PA?

[@daniedevite6781]

[@williamsturley6631]

How does he clean the dust that ineviitably will settle on the layout?

I do not know
