When I clicked on the video, I thought I might watch a few minutes here and there, but once I started watching, I ended up watching the whole thing. Great video on a great layout. Lotsa' fun.

[@pilentum]

Thank you!

[@clarenceguenther8920]

I have been a NVMR member for 7-8 years now. I have never seen the roundhouse interior until I saw this. Well done!

[@AKawalski]

On my word and honour! I started watching through the windows of the building as the camera track back I realised I must be in a roundhouse looking at engines in a museum somewhere, then you warped space time and blew the lid off my brain case! I was inside a layout, I am spellbound as the rest unfolds! Well done on the awesome camerawork capturing a stunning layout! Superb!

[@donreed]

01/05/25: Hallelujah! Will wonders never cease?! No one is talking. Just the sound of the trains. I could stay here for the rest of my life, I do declare...

[@Papag53]

Great opening

[@karenhumes8689]

I can't begin to imagine the amount of time & money it took too build this, it's spectacular!! Greg

[@stephenchellgren1213]

The entire world needs to purely have Joy and Love in the there life's to watch perfect model railway'

[@Papag53]

Pilentum never disappoints.

[@C_RSENS]

Ive been watching these guys since i was 4. its so nostalgic to hear the intro song.

[@christopherorourke6543]

Great layout, great operations & very good representations of various railroads of the past.

[@DavidSenior-x2c]

One of the best, if not the best layout I’ve seen. Saw for the first time last year when I visited my son and his family in Virginia, and will visit again this year. They may even let me join for the few weeks I’ll be there. Good luck from England.

[@dieschonstendampflokomotiv5674]

Das ist ein wunderschönes Video. Die Anlage ist ein Traum. Wundervoll !!! Brilliant!!!

[@pilentum]

Danke für das Lob!

[@TrainLordJC]

Zo many wonderful layouts being filmed these days for us to enjoy. And also web cam placed on flat cars showing the layouts from another perspective. In this one I like the web cam directly in front of a train moving along at the same speed. That makes it interesting. Thank you for posting.

[@thetrainseekers1]

Wow! That is an amazing and now I want to visit them 😊 thanks for sharing!!!

[@nscalefun]

AWESOME, EXCELLENT and PERFECT!!!!! Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work.

[@anthonyjamieson3875]

A wonderful layout!

[@andyfiala7500]

Beautiful machines! Beautiful country, like in reality. And suitable music in the background.👍🚄💺

[@prabhudevachennai5000]

Hi PILENTUM! Love ❤️ Your Videos I Love Railways Especially My INDIAN RAILWAYS. In Your Videos I didn't See any Indian Trains 🇮🇳 But I Love Your Model Railways Thank You. Love PILENTUM ❤️❤️❤️

[@jeannot46]

Grandiose et superbement détaillé

[@stanleydomalewski8497]

Magnificent Layout !😊

[@Bruno.Trains]

What it beautiful layout! I love the way you do your videos because it’s hard to believe that these are not real full size trains - you are an amazing videographer

[@SmallTown_Studio]

Woah. This is cinematic masterpiece!

[@timu19]

Tolles Video 👍👍👍 Sehr realistischer Fahrbetrieb.Vielen Dank für's zeigen. Viele Grüße TiMu

Best video ever; the moving shots are fantastic.

[@cireperso]

Formidable réseau ! Bravo !

[@coasterfreak007]

Great job putting this together for the club. We had a long & fun day of filming :)

[@lottaaction8072]

I find some of this detail extraordinary. Amd the camerawork is top notch! Nice work!

[@pilentum]

Thank you!

[@albertoortiz3574]

I do enjoy all your videos Keep on on on...

[@caseyvillemodelrailroad3877]

Great layout, feels very real. Thanks for the tour...

[@ronaldstokes4841]

Fantastic ! Imagine the fun building the diorama. Knowing the human sense of humor, I'll bet each hand in this has hidden something. As far as DCC... it's revolutionized model Railroading. I grew up with 'Plastic Ville' structures, now it's laser-printed. The realism of today makes me wanna be a boy again.

[@timothyweiss5079]

I like your train layout it would be interesting to see the helixes as the trains move through them.

[@sunnysiderails397]

Really well done video, truly enjoyed!

[@leonardvernon7176]

Very nice music and video. Thank you

[@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS]

Excellent video

[@glennostlee9662]

I really liked it good job.

[@johnvanwinkle4351]

Very nice layout and detail!

[@warrenwilson70]

That was fun.

[@jimmclaughlin8195]

Watching that WNC 404 backing down through the three way turnout at about 2:34 speaks volumes about the skill with which the trackwork was done, and the maintenance standards applied to the steamers. Doing that in reverse with tender wheels leading, not a sprung set of pilot wheels, is difficult in 1:1 scale at museum railroads. Almost unheard of in 1:87 scale.

[@grandpaarock]

great video Amazing layout 👍

[@bpair4608]

What a spectacular layout! Awesome video. 👏

[@andrii-k]

Це наче художній фільм. Дуже цікаві фрагменти з камери на поїздах, наче справжнім поїздом їдеш, а найцікавіші це перегони по паралельних коліях... Але яке треба мати терпіння щоб відтворити всі ці дрібні деталі...

[@igorgavrilov8140]

Автор, браво! Красивые макеты железной дороги!

[@jonathanchalk2507]

Brilliant.

[@flstffatboy3910]

This setup is so realistic so detailed I want it please thank you 🙏

[@rusty383]

Simply the Best

[@johnny-jr5iz]

Great camera work thanks

[@RENNER-SLOVAKIA]

This is about a 2 to 2 1/2 hour drive East from where I live here in West Virginia

[@davecruzen9352]

WOW! I have never seen ANYTHING as grand as this. Your "crew" knocked it out of the park. I was mesmerized. My wife kept calling me. I never answered. She had to see why. I grew up in the 50's. You are on point, "IKE" sign sealed it. My only question....what is the current sq ftage of this layout.

[@easternsprails]

A long standing club layout in Vienna, VA. Good coverage of the track and scenery. On board cam adds a perspective that can't be seen by the observer or operator.

[@scottsmith7051]

Truly fantastic opening scene.

[@niu881]

I went here 2 weeks ago!

[@АлиАлекперов-ж9в]

Mersi Pilentum !Super model!

[@ericcallender1575]

Nice, thanks for sharing. Have you visited The Model Railroad Club, Inc. in Union, NJ?

[@19brittani]

love it.

[@therealmwalker1]

Nice layout.

[@claudekevorkian7599]

c est magnifique BRAVO !!!

[@valeriem4142]

Superbe vidéo. 😃🤗🚂

[@LittlePwnageMusicFan]

43:30 Looks like a steam diesel hybrid.

[@smollsaladhonestmistakes9493]

Does anybody know what model this is?

[@AntoninoParisi-matematica]

Semplicemente meraviglioso... 😲😲😲😍😍😍

[@turismotrenicucina7124]

Schönes Video aber teilweise schon in anderen Videos auf diesem Kanal zu sehen

[@hts513]

I hd no idea this was in Vienna. I live about 15-20 minutes away.

[@addictcollector2888]

Génial !

[@jacobmoss6830]

I think we need some tea and moonshine here. If you know, you know.

[@amyreynolds3619]

That looks like the roundhouse at Spencer Shops or for the non Southern railway fans this is NCTM.

[@michaelscavera7099]

"Non-Southern." Well bless your little heart. I love how you frontier people have people have a way with words.

[@Mincoope]

thank you video~!

[@VioletWyvern]

So what's that thing on the flat car? It's looks like a generator's turbine and some electronic transformers...

[@earthling7355]

At 14:30, our little mixed freight has the cars in reverse order from the whole first part of the video - then at 15:30 it's back to the original setup again.

[@joeh5059]

Very beautiful layout. Where is this located at and are visitors able to view this? Joe H. Toledo, Ohio.

[@sivalingarajapalanisamy7181]

Good layout

[@keretapelos]

amazing trainz

[@farmerdave7965]

11:53 Is that a brass ACE 3000 ?

[@federalpipingco.inc.7700]

Nice.

[@johnny-jr5iz]

Is this open to go and see in person and if where at.?

[@ThatGamePlayer]

The layout is in Vienna, Virginia and it is open to visitors (usually) once a month. There’s a schedule for open houses on the club’s website (just search up “Northern Virginia Model Railroaders” into Google and you should be able to find it). Edit: there’s also a link to the club’s website in the description of this video.

[@FenfaChannel]

Its amazing diorama..kapan yo iso gawe koyo iki?? Ngimpi aeeee🥺🥺🥺

[@dariocossi3644]

Impresionante

[@sergiofernandes8509]

Boa noite Tudo bem Parece real de tão bonito. Belo trabalho . Aqui temos a Frateschi que tem ótima qualidade. Sempre procura fabricar vagoes e locomotivas visando a nossa lendária FEPASA ( Ferrovias Paulista SA.) PARABÉNS!!!!!

[@pilentum]

Tenho o prazer de apresentar uma maquete brasileira com trens da Frateschi. Escreva-me um e-mail, então talvez possamos produzir um vídeo.

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

Who made that HO scale model of the computer controlled steam locomotive that we tried to make in 1985 the ace 3000? We would’ve kept in close if the oil prices didn’t drop, we would’ve had steam come back all over again.

[@farmerdave7965]

Roundhouse parking done correctly. Nose in first.

[@leticialiu2006]

Excellent filming footage with both trains running side by side - not very common

[@crecencioresendiz2831]

Hermosa maqueta

[@barefoot3662]

I'm wondering what the two chessie system locomotives are I've never seen them are. They stor baught or scratch.God bless you all.

[@gaborholbak3471]

SUPER ..SUPER OKÉ !!! BRAVÓ !!!

[@willparsons32]

Awesome railroad... not sure what scale you're modeling but NTL! I've modelled in both HO & N Scale over the years. What I've always noticed is the lack of the railcars "clackity -clack" ... The locomotive sounds are superior but after the engine, its nothing exciting. I know there's a dcc sound system that provides the "clickity -clack" sound 🍺 t I don't think too many people bother with that...t

[@richardhorning2481]

Is this model railroad open to the public? I'd like to see it in person.

[@pilentum]

Yes, see description.

[@Bricks56]

Sweet

[@bobesposito7235]

Does the streetcar get power from the overhead line?

[@pilentum]

Yes!

[@bobesposito7235]

@@pilentum Cool. By the way, I enjoy your O-gauge videos (and some HO too).
