Cab ride on a very large model train layout in HO scale

[@Yourhighnessnona]

I have no idea how I ended up here and I never really thought of model trains, but I've watched the entire thing with so much wonder, respect for the builders and love for the beautiful details and landscaping. This world has something wholesome and "safe" about it, making me want to step outside of the train and explore the place. I could watch this every day! Lovely.

[@ricardoruben5915]

A mí me pasa algo parecido, yourhighnessnona.

[@1986Unlimited]

Every little boy who grew up playing with trains..this is their dream. What a beautiful and magical layout and that steam engine approaching and then passing by at 6:30 was awesome!

[@pilentum]

I'm older than 40 years now. And yet my dreams are getting bigger and bigger :-)

[@1986Unlimited]

Never stop dreaming friend! That's how great things come to be!

[@progamingnewbiedude]

Im him man!

[@jenntek.101]

The time, money, and effort that goes into making the wonderful layouts! If I had Half the time, money and talent - I'd have a layout. Thanks for putting this out on KZbin - Its marvelous! My Uncle collected Lionel trains when I was a kid - He had such passion for this hobby - He would have embraced todays technology for train layouts.

[@pilentum]

I don't have the money and talent, too. That's the reason, whay I am making videos :-)

[@peterb2888]

Fantastic model railway and cab ride, although the driver seems to be running a few red signals!

[@janvanmarle9466]

Very nice!

[@MrThebuke]

and the railroad crossing are open while the train is running

[@apogeedata]

I noticed that he put many plastic lives in danger😂😂😂

[@supriyochatterjee7174]

Not few every red signal

[@davidreay5911]

No SPADs!

[@arkhangelska-angelwitch]

Rusty tracks in some places, a bicycle race led by the police, a German newsstand on the platform. The details are so lovely. It's been made with lots of love and dedication. ... And the Ferris wheel! Wanna buy a ticket for it 😍 ... Even the noises sound real. For example when another train rushes by. I wouldn't expect that from a model railway. Wow ... German railway models are most beautiful ❤

[@claydogmadman7843]

This video was so surreal it actually took me into another reality of state of mind...

@@Deebz270 So a year later and l've now corrected it, thanks to your sarcastic comments because l never looked back on this channel and it could've went on forever... It's *Surreal* is the word l meant and shame on me and those for giving the likes that l didn't even deserve for my misspelling... Embarrassed 😳 but l will own it...

[@richardkinkead7823]

One of the most beautiful layouts I've seen. Almost felt real. Would love to see that layout in real life. So much to look at with out over doing it.

[@mrraoulandtheking11]

I know right

[@simongrogan5740]

Surprising how people have put so much time and energy into doing something like this for a video and to personally enjoy themselves, my hat comes off to them either for a hobby or something serious.

[@leamigo2937]

If I would have railway like this, I would spend all my money and time buying high speed trains to it. The tracks and decorations are amazing!

[@paktoysreview8377]

Fantastic model railway and cab ride..

[@ericabossen1094]

I love these cab ride videos I find them relaxing

[@robertyerry8118]

Very cool. Thank you for sharing.

[@igorgavrilov8140]

Браво! Трудно поверить, что существуют такие замечательные макеты железной дороги! Автор очень правильно поместил видео камеру на головном локомотиве! Можно почувствовать себя машинистом, наблюдать прекрасные пейзажи и работу мастеров высокого класса.

[@pilentum]

Спасибо!

[@grosbec1698]

when I watch your video, I dream of a long trip on a train, through Eastern Europe, Russia, Canada or Iran. Congratulations for your work

[@pilentum]

Thank you.

[@Sohave]

That driver is passing a lot of red signals. Having tried my hands with building a smaller layout there are an insane amount of man hours in that layout. Man that thing is a beauty.

[@brunonelisse8551]

Ces voyages avec caméra embarquées sont vraiment magnifiques. C'est féerique et en même temps très instructif sur l'art, car à ce niveau c'en est un, du modélisme ferroviaire. Je ne sais pas combien d'heures de patience, de travail pour arriver à de tels résultats. Merci aux artistes qui ont construits ces maquettes avec passion et merci à PILENTUM de nous permettre de les admirer pour que ces artistes puissent partager leur passion.

[@billhuber2964]

Love these cab rides. Very relaxing.

[@paulgalesko2761]

D'un réalisme inégalable et inégalé. Je ne me lasse pas de regarder vos vidéos.

[@trevorgarner5803]

Very impressive layout and a lot of hard work to maintain ,totally amassing just one thing stands out is the buckled and bent plus missing overhead wires other than that truly a great layout.

[@SandpiperN121PP]

So very beautiful and awesome looking. Anyone else get a little freaked out by the giant at 8:42??? Also the Peter Gunn Theme at 13:20??? I so love it!!!

[@cowboyatthebebop]

What surprises me is how squeaky it is like a real train.

[@ВладимирКочергин-о9г]

КАКОЙ ВОСХИТИТЕЛЬНЫЙ МАКЕТ!!!ПРОСТО ДАЖЕ,НЕЛЬЗЯ НАЗВАТЬ -МАКЕТ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!СПАСИБО!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@manzanitafirefeather7992]

Amazing! I'd like to have a bird's-eye view to see the whole layout.

[@the10thleper]

Absolutely wonderful! Incredible detail. Beautiful work, Thank you for such dedication. My first model train ride! The views with sound effects, snow, the greenery, I love it, love it, love it. Thank you.

[@the10thleper]

Duane Cole I thought I saw some snow. My apologies, you have obviously checked, thank you for the correction. A wonderful job on all of this. I will watch this again when I have more time. Thx, sorry for my mistake.

[@charlesdavis7087]

What a work of art! Thank you for sharing.

[@pierrecharbonneau8560]

Now this is very beautiful and well made

[@tsangbosco6470]

Good Footage , It 's so REAL , I love it.😃

[@MrWmburr7]

Man, that was a great trip. Thanks for the adventure!

[@The-sn7no]

Excellent work one of the best HO layouts I've seen.

[@forevernowhere]

Just an idea....a couple random spotlights on the ceiling, pointing down to resemble a sun. Would create nice shadows and blind us from the ceiling. Love it without!!!!!! Just an idea.... Beautiful! Great job!!!!

[@forevernowhere]

Thank you! I built a 4x8 30 years ago, searched it, and this exists, and it does! You did it! You rock!

[@jimsmoter4510]

Very nice layout . Fun cab ride loved it .

[@ricardoruben5915]

¡cuanta perfección! ¡cuanta excelencia! ( que viene a ser lo mismo). Por ejemplo. Eso de cruzarse com otro trem en um tunel... Felicitaciones desde Argentina.

[@pilentum]

Saludos dese Alemania!

[@pabloluchi3595]

Just awesome!!! for mi 8:20 encounter with the train hauling trucks? in the tunnel! is this a movie? brillant!

[@simflier8298]

Innnncredible! Totally amazing!

[@minjeeseoullawyer]

As they say, "It is all in the details." The builders of this railroad definitely adhered to that rule.

[@KJ7JHN]

This would be neat with VR glasses, PWM and an elliptical. Nice track setup.

[@KJ7JHN]

@ 2:46, that is so cool! :)

[@tjwilkins7065]

Wow, the whole layout got to be worth a hundred grand. If not 2

[@jimkammerer5240]

VERY GOOD INDEED AWESOME GOOD LAYOUT. VERY COOL INDEED THANK YOU JIM KAMMERER OF PHILADELPHIA PA 👌 👍

[@Georgy-fg3bg]

It is beautiful. The realistic cabride experience is just disturbed by only two circumstances: 1. the black "sky" and bright light have a rather unpleasant effect. This is what it would look like on the moon. 2. the tunnels could look more realistic inside

[@rudyardkipling5175]

The layout also capable of time-travel. At any rate, the cars at 4.10 are from the 1920s and 1930s but by the time we get to the station at 4.20 we're back in 2017 (or 2021).

[@johnnycop77]

Mesmerising. Relaxing. Wonderful.

[@jimkammerer5240]

AWESOME GOOD LAYOUT AND GOOD WORK ON THIS. VERY GOOD INDEED THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS WITH ME JIM KAMMERER OF PHILADELPHIA PA 👌 😀

[@christheother9088]

The sound is as compelling as the visuals.

[@Fistaroscope]

This goes perfectly with "East Broadway" from Unsane

[@Aedren]

The details, the effort, the landscapes,... All are well made! The lights of some police cars and the traintrack signales that change are great! I enjoyed watching this. :)

[@marzlifestylesari-saristor9560]

i tough that this is real 😊 amazing

[@alialekperov1003]

Mersi PILENTUM!!! SUPER!!!!👌👌👌👍👍👍

[@MrButtonpresser]

8:42 Even God himself just had to take a photo. So impressed!

[@joeycoolproductions3173]

You know what would be cool, A 360 video of that

[@АлиАлекперов-ж9в]

Mersi Pilentum!! Super model!

[@javelin1010]

Breath taking

[@richiej5884]

I noticed a lot of overhead wiring for pantographs on different sections of track and then no wiring or broken spots. Are you planning on putting up all overhead wiring? Great layout!

[@janeinareriksson1509]

Very interesting movie! What mini camera are you using in the film?

[@denisedcruz5846]

WOW very good video and good buildings and good station long did it take to build. Aslo you could do another video not of the train going round but of the road and houses. But still very good. Thanks for sharing.

[@pilentum]

Thanks for watching!

[@altamashsheikh8854]

It's awesome !!!!!! 👌👌

Bellissimo .... veramente un bel viceo!

[@markwagoner3599]

If it's possible for a layout to be too big, this is it.

[@tcm140756]

OMG! he boom gates are still up as the train passes thru...lol

[@stephencarter812]

One word -excellent!

[@keewaneefrost609]

This is Amazing.......

[@TheGreatTimSheridan]

good speed.. womderful setup.

[@SMTMainline]

Is this at miniatur wunderland? Such an impressive layout, as a model railroader myself I can't imagine how long it must have taken to build all of this with such a high grade of detail. Thank you for sharing!

[@pilentum]

No, it is not the Miniatur Wunderland. It is a different great model railway exhibition in Germany.

[@richardtrenchik1680]

Awesome!

[@MyEnricoo]

N° 1 !!!! nice nice nice !!!!! MERAVIGLIOSAMENTE REALE & INFINITO !! BRAVI. N° 1

[@e032001]

You are the best 😆

[@bertram1598]

Nice layout. One issue with large layouts is that you have to do a lot of maintenance as well. This layout needs maintenance: e.g. level crossing gates not working. Some of the signals are not working and the train is often passing red signals. The route is quite boring: seems to be a big loop. The tracks below the mountains seem to be designed and built very well. I like the camera view.

[@phillipyau4234]

Hey what's happening that's awesome & fantastic train 🚆 model set I was thinking about getting it but I don't have any room to assemble it I'm renting a house until I find a bigger house with enough room to install it 😮

[@392Life]

very impressive!

[@derekpaterson603]

That was awesome

[@taffariduncan4829]

So many places how do they build that🤔, and I love the graphics😊

[@Novvalis]

So liebevoll die Anlage auch gestaltet ist: Das Gleisbild von Märklin hat nun eben mal nicht viel mit dem Original zu tun...

[@pilentum]

Richtig, aber es bietet wohl einen kontaktfreudigeren Vorteil.

[@paulmack439]

I wanted to do this since I was 10 years old

[@karenula7152]

Love the tunnels

[@Dan-pv9wm]

Impressive

[@mmcreeperhead133]

At 0:33. Was that a train horn? If it was. The horn sounds cute!

[@distomos8118]

Sehr schöne Anlage! Eine Frage: ich habe nun schon einige angesehen und es fällt auf, dass bei den meisten die E-Loks nicht die Oberleitung nutzen, die Stromabnehmer nicht ausgefahren sind. Warum?

[@SciHeartJourney]

I used to love when Gomez Addams would crash his trains at high speed. We need to see a camera view of that!

[@erikm9768]

Is it possible to get rid of the tilt shift blur, this is what makes it look so much like a model instead of real life

Excelente video.

[@bmalin]

Amazing!!!!!!

[@aarongagnier7080]

Great layout very entertaining to watch, wondering where you got the large Ferris wheel I keep seeing in the background.

[@dragonlord3402]

3AM worthy content right here.

[@TheCornibus]

Incredibile! sembra di essere su un treno vero

[@MelvinR972]

Really nice and impressive! What kind of camera did you use for this video ?

[@jimrichardson8575]

Very enjoyable train ride. So cool, and realistic. How many miles of rail are there in this location ?

[@bobbyslater1198]

I can never get enough of these cab rides. Each one is unique in its own way. At 4:40 to 5:07 - were the passengers included with the cars or were they added?

[@pilentum]

Normally, the passenger coaches are available without figures. They added them.

[@renatofraulo5385]

Gostei. Tem momentos que parece que se está viajando em um trem de verdade. O problema é que o vídeo é muito longo e cansa um pouco. Deveria também ser mostrada uma visão mais panorâmica das estradinhas de ferro.

[@xen9581]

its times that I catch myself watching these that I seriously consider that I might be autistic.

[@renegadeoflife87]

Oh dear. 6:50 the train passes a signal at red. Living on the edge I see. Again at 12:20,13:40,14:30, 15:40, and 16:59 as well. Also not counting some of the dwarf signals in the switchyards, they look like they might only support red. Still, if that's the only obvious details that I could spot, pretty impressive. This must have taken years and several people to build, then to restore and convert to DCC. Does the train make a gradual progression across each deck in one gigantic loop route? Or does it roughly stay on a given deck and just loop that deck until it goes into the parking track to make room for another.

[@pilentum]

On the layout are several blocks, but the main line is one gigantic loop. Experts call it dog-bone-layout.

[@billhuber2964]

I take it that the camera is from a diesel . got any cab rides from steam ?

[@pilentum]

Just search Pilentum's channel. There are +300 videos, also including cab rides with steam locos.

[@philrabe910]

I have seen this on a few Pilentum videos: What are the small black rectangles on every tie? They get taller at turnouts and crossings.

[@pilentum]

This is the so-called third rail made by Märklin. The Märklin system has contact studs located in the middle of the tracks.

[@TheMisterPain]

Nice model railway 👍 In spite of everything, a little criticism is allowed At the level crossings and every other signal is incorrect As a German railroader, I forgive you

[@pilentum]

Das ist richtig. Aber leider funktioniert Vieles nicht mehr so richtig bei der Modellbahn Odenwald.
