Model Railway Cab Ride Porsche Model Railroad Museum on the Gotthard Railway in the Switzerland

At the large model railroad museum of Porsche, one of the finest model railways in the world is installed. The model railway layout presents three countries, namely Germany, Austria and Switzerland on 340 square meters. Pilentum had already made some cab ride videos with model trains at the Germany model railroad layout and at the Austria model railway display, but in this video our train travels through the wonderful railway world of the Gotthard Railway in Switzerland - and this model world is absolutely fascinating.
With our Swiss locomotive, in which the camera is installed, we are going to discover 950 meters of Märklin railway tracks in HO scale. We are crossing 185 points or switches and we are passing 34 signals. During our train journey we will meet a lot of other train sets. Furthermore, we travel through the famous Gotthard Mountains. Our model train has to overcome a height difference of up to 3 meters by driving many track spirals or helices. We are going to reach three major railway stations in Switzerland, where passenger trains and freight trains are waiting for their departure. In addition, we are going to see famous buildings in Switzerland, for example, castles, cities and bridges.
The special design of this miniature world and its layout makes it possible that several loops can be traveled by model trains. Therefore, our Swiss loco drives alternately in the southern Switzerland (“Bellinzona Railway Station”) as well as in the northern Switzerland (“Göschenen Railway Station” and “Wassen Railway Station”). Several times we will meet the “Crocodile” electric locomotive and the class Re 620 or class Re 6/6 locos, one of the most famous locomotives of the Swiss Railways.
Our cab ride trip begins near the city of Wassen in Switzerland. On the left side of the railway line we see the church built in the style of the Baroque style of architecture. A little bit later we are reaching the Wassen Railway Station. After passing the tunnel, our locomotive reaches the Göschenen Railway Station. Above the railway station we can see the famous Bietschtal railroad bridge. After some circles we arrive at the Wassen Railway Station again. A few minutes later, after driving through some tunnels, we arrive at the Göschenen Railway Station in another direction of travel.
After that, our train goes in the southern part of Switzerland and we reach the Bellinzona Railway Station. The station has more than nine platforms. Many passengers are waiting for their trains. While our locomotive has to wait in front of a red signal, we can see the massive mountains of Switzerland in the background. These scale model mountains have a height of more than four meters in 1/87 scale. Now, our loco is climbing up the mountains. The train rides on the first level - approximately 1.5 meters above the ground - and we see the big construction site for the highway bridge. A little bit later the train rides on the second level - approximately 2.5 meters above the ground - and we are directly below the highway bridge. After passing through the last helix our model train rides at the highest point of the model railway layout. From now on, our train is going downhill again. Our journey continues in the opposite direction of travel. However, we change the route, because we additionally drive on the small branch line inside the Swiss canton of Ticino. At the end of this video, our train drives into the very large shadow station or hidden yard.

What an amazing layout! I felt I was riding on a real train going through real countryside ! This is a beautiful realistic set up - I will be watching this video over and over again thank you for sharing this awesome video 😁👍💕

[@martinroberts8469]

Only a profound humiliation in the real world would reduce me to feeling one inch tall. However, enjoying a cab ride such as this in the world of model trains induces an instant and pleasurable feeling of tinyness without humiliation ! One of the best ever cab rides. Thank you, Pilentum.

[@pilentum]

Thank you.

[@leeberry689]

The multi-level layout is beyond belief. AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE.

[@McRocket]

Great layout - I LOVE multi-level layouts. Thanks very much for creating and posting this.

[@martinroberts8469]

What a fantastic model railway !! Unbelievably breathtaking cab ride. Beautiful scenery, beautifully filmed - dreamlike ! No railway (model or otherwise) fan should miss this !! Just WOW !!!

[@johnhirtle4300]

Magnificent! The behind the scenes was as interesting and breathtaking for me as the rest, as the engineering and construction is just amazing. The rails look as if made of platinum!

[@anantmodi7887]

I was getting uncomfortable when the train was speeding on the turns. Superb video, quite realistic. And very calming ! Thank you

[@greatbritishentertainmentl5636]

Looks like the trains are going too fast at certain parts of the circuit, however the layout is fantastic!

[@StarryStorm]

What a very beautiful model railroad!

[@JKVisFX]

We never made it all the way to the top, kind of felt like Groundhog Day, we kept repeating the same stretches of track over and over. I really wanted to cross that really high bridge. Oh well. It was quite an amazing layout. The superstructure holding the whole thing up was just as fascinating as the exteriors. Very, very well done.

[@tvishwaroop]

I watched it in 2x speed. PURE GOLD.

[@bobbennett4288]

Awesome. Just awesome. Thanks for making this video. Felt like I was on the train!!

Wow! Great captures!!

[@choro1981]

Awesome layout,love the construction cranes and very cool video.

[@dougthegreat1808]

Great job, excellent, excellent and excellent!

[@michaelgmoore5708]

This is great artistry also. I like to see trains passing by the other way the most tho.

[@marzlifestylesari-saristor9560]

beautiful

[@johnbrown9092]

Superb.

[@helviopd]

Very good layout and the video showing much of the tour and the whole environment. The only thing I do not like is the speed of the train, as I do not know if it is the speed scale and this makes me dizzy in the curves. Otherwise, I liked it and admired it. Congratulations!.

[@pilentum]

About the speed: Do you think, the train is driving too fast?

[@helviopd]

Yes. But also, I have the problem that if a video has sudden movements, it makes me dizzy; (this is very normal in a lot of people). I also enjoy watching your videos and your model. Thank you.

[@user-mi2xu4qw6m]

👍👍👍👍👍😀😁🌹

[@craigverret]

this is such a cool video

[@user-wv5wq7zi3y]

Круто

[@leoptellier2085]

How or what do you do to keep the train rails so shiny? 🤔

[@pmacedo6778]

Many Thanks for sharing! This Layout is a “must” to see.... Great video work! Note: the startup of the trains is a bit unreal... too fast... acceleration is too high... the stop looks nice!

[@pilentum]

It's always amazing: we've reduced the normal speed to 30%. And yet the speed seems too high.

[@pmacedo6778]

Hummm... I understand what you are saying... What gives me pleasure on my trains (z scale) is to run them slow... I have been trying to adjust the cvs for a more realistic run... I did some progress lately... I don’t know if they have a special reason for running so fast... maybe...! Many Thanks for your attention, please keep posting videos... they are always great!

[@pilentum]

Thank you very much!

[@Salmon_Rush_Die]

6:55 Somebody forgot a signal mast.

[@dutoilette]

Does he go through a red light at 7:57?

[@alialekperov1003]

👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁

[@dislecsyk991]

It's a good job real trains don't wobble over points like that 🙈

[@distomos8118]

It’s fantastic scenery, but trains run to fast IMHO and the track layout isn’t very smooth, specially in the curves.

[@raqueldonaire2574]

Me preguntó cómo hacen estás maquetas parecen tan reales que me inprecionan de verdad es ver un paisaje real,O es de verdad?

[@benh508]

I couldn't watch the whole thing ads flooded the video

[@pilentum]

Sorry, that's how KZbin works.

[@jorgemunozaguilar]

Esto es un juguete compadre, NO ES REAL, ¿Estamos?

[@9atalanta]

Schönes Modell mit der Gotthardbahn. Ist der große Bahnhof im Kanton Graubünden der in Chur?

[@pilentum]

Der große Bahnhof soll - meines Wissens - ein Modell von Bellinzona darstellen.

[@MRB1157]

You should make this into a Timelapse.

[@pilentum]

I do not like timelapse videos.

[@krazeemetalchickstewart9961]

How fast do those trains go

[@ralph5450]

Watch in VR.

[@donciszamel7750]

Kann ich die genaue Adresse haben?

[@pilentum]

[@patriksiegfried5050]

Bonjour, il se trouve où ce musée...? merci...

[@pilentum]

C'est LE TRAUMWERK = www.traumwerk.de À environ 15 kilomètres de Salzbourg; mais toujours en Allemagne.

[@patriksiegfried5050]

Merci pour l'info... c'est vraiment grand, je suis plutôt genre déco US...

[@kurtgoll6399]

Mir kommt vor, dass die Züge zu schnell fahren.

[@pilentum]

Das liegt an der Kamera-Perspektive. Die Züge haben wir im Traumwerk extra langsam fahren lassen.

[@davidrice2862]

I missed that pretty girl as well as a lot of other things. For G--- sake, slow down.

[@huntoriginalmusic-wy2rc]

Lots of badly laid track work. Not impressed with the scenic detail. Looks unreal.
