One of America’s largest HO scale model train layouts - The Chelten Hills Model Railroad Club

[@ColorMeMozart]

When I see layouts this amazing it both inspires and intimidates to work on mine! Simply amazing

[@ronaldjoyce7374]

This was AMAZING, THANK YOU!!! The cab ride was great, wish you would do more of them. Ron

[@009docupuncture]

Your PRESENTATION brings unsurpassed JOY & RELAXATION, extraordinary detail in display and filming! It was one of the best cab rides I've eva had! When the trains passed each other, that was SUBLIME! The variety of passenger trains and rolling stock was EXCELLENT! Just would like a lil more light in the tunnels. But hey, WELL DONE!

[@TheMushroom246]

thank you .much appreciated .. take care

[@Bobrogers99]

I appreciate the train ride around the layout at the beginning. Too many videos of large setups focus on small sections, and we never get to understand the total layout. This one is extraordinary!

[@joshuatoro8977]

I just want to say I don't mind when people talk in videos when they're showing layout tours what I don't like is when they focus more on the guy talking by showing him instead of showing the model trains so thank you for posting this phenomenal video

[@robertgibbs4032]

It's only fitting that such a layout be in Pennsylvania given the rich rail history of the state. I'm from Philly and never knew until bumbling onto this video that this layout was so close to me. One can best believe I'm planning to visit SOON.

Great job filming this quite amazing layout. The cab view was very good indeed and certainly shows the level of design and pre-planning the lighting and backdrop sceneries and colours etc before building the layout can begin. Certainly a wonderful representation of American railroading. I also see the advantage of having a huge room of uninterrupted space for the continuity to be possible. I say this because I am a member of a club layout located in an old railway station which of course is quite narrow with separate rooms etc thereby limiting the sense of space. But we are getting there.

[@keithklingensmith2955]

Awesome. Video from USA Pennsylvania. Thank you

[@TonisalpenmodellbahnN58]

Tolle Anlage. Danke fürs Zeigen und herzliche Grüße, Toni

[@Bruno.Trains]

Wonderful layout, very atmospheric and realistic!

[@josephstubler4903]

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC

[@paulsnickles2420]

Amazing train layout 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🌞🌞

[@goforitpainting]

WOW. It's professional.

[@bernardvermont248]

Thanks you for your présentation.It's a pleasure for me to see the trains. Bravo!!!

[@bdd5748]

Masterfully done!

[@IanHenderson-g9i]

Really enjoyed this video and found that you commentary enhanced the film and was very relevant. I like to know a few facts about a layout that I have no prior knowledge. A few people have commented on the speed of the train being too fast. This didn't detract from my enjoyment of the video and you may have done this to keep the video to a reasonable length, but if is an issue the video could be slowed so that trains appear to move at more prototypical speeds.

[@caseyvillemodelrailroad3877]

Great vidio, great layout. Thanks for the morning coffee...

[@Imieitrenimodello]

awesome layout and video,big like 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🚂🚂😊😊

[@shazam6274]

Magnificent ! The most amazing to me is the condition of the Rails ! Perfectly flat, parallel, and polished! Can you provide some more detail about them, please?

[@MichelleLewis-en5rq]

Awesome

[@Shelvington_Railway]

Great Video. Thanks for sharing! Cheers, Andy

[@pilentum]

Thanks for watching!

[@TomRogers-n7d]

awesome layout and video,big like

[@crackers5959]

Tu as raison, de tres belle vidéo de train... Trop cool 🤩🥰😁

[@trevorgwelch7412]

[@charlini9558]

Bellísima maqueta!! Una pequeña corrección al título: América es un continente. El país se llama Estados Unidos de América, y solo es una pequeña parte de dicho continente.

[@sekng473]

Thanks the technology.

[@gunny8978]

Thats the smoothest layout not one of the cars or the engines bobbled or jersey that alone is a feat in its own especially at hi speeds my compliments sir

[@АлиАлекперов-ж9в]

Super model! Mersi Pilentum!

[@wiliamcamarda2471]

Um show a parte belíssima

[@susiefisch]

If you can come to the West Coast of the USA, you will find an amazing model railroad at the Washington State History Museum in Tacoma, WA. It has accurate miniature buildings representing various industries and historic sites throughout the state.

[@pilentum]

The members of the Puget Sound Model Railroad Engineers (PSMRE), that operates and maintains the model railroad at the Washington State History Museum in Tacoma, didn't want to present their video on Pilentum Television. Sorry.

[@alessandroposterli6831]

EXCELLENT VIDEO. I'M AN ENTHUSIAST TOO.

[@hamiltonsullivan6563]

You should check out the columbia gorge model railroad club!

[@carlcat]

Amazing video, the computerized voice left much to be desired.

[@chriscummings4206]

As an American, I can say that I greatly appreciate European model railroading. I consider European railways to be very well designed, clean and well maintained. If you've ever seen any photos from the 60s of the Penn Central, you will see trash floating around the railroad tracks that in some ways might be interesting to try to model. The only major disappointment that I have with American railroads is all the mergers.

[@marvwatkins7029]

Milwaukee Road, C&NW are out of place for the NE and the GG1 has no catenary, but otherwise pretty impressive. Need horns and whistles, though.

[@HemlockRidge]

As with so many cab rides, it's moving too fast to appreciate the detail of the layout

[@marvwatkins7029]

Each member must've kicked in a few grand at least.

[@KarmaMechanic988]

And you thought America did not have high-speed rail!

[@marvwatkins7029]

No Pilentum, definitely not Lionel.

[@daviddeezmusic2313]

Keep the music off please.

[@98exequiel]

America It is a continent not a country.

[@andyfiala7500]

Very interesting and beautiful, just at the speed that the camera captures from the train, you can't see much. I mean the details.👍🚅

[@thomasblanchard6778]

That brings up a key point--the speed of this model train of about say, 300 miniature feet per second, would be like a miniature 200 miles per hour. I think the running speeds of model trains should be scaled down to enhance a total immersion experience. Lower speeds and slower accelerations and decelerations would add to the impression of the huge mass and inertia of a real train.

[@lucasmurray9225]

It is so great to see you feature a club with such a rich history. We have some great layouts in the US. Wish I could have met you on your visit!

[@davehorner8126]

OMG !! I go by this all the time on the train to and from Philly and never knew it was there. Thank you for posting this video!!!!!

[@Hydrogenblonde]

Holy smoke that train was going. Must have hit 75 mph.

[@joesipos2975]

The cab ride would have been much more impressive if operated at scale speed.

[@Stanf954]

A decently sized HO layout but is by no means the largest in the local Philadelphia area.

[@soundofheartrelaxation652]

Amazing ‼️ 👏🏼 👏👏👏👏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@bugio2012]

I am Thai.I love the FPV view, it makes me feel like I'm actually riding the train and seeing the outside scenery. I wonder what type of camera that is used.

[@RobertGarrett-v6m]

Get rid of the words in blue so you can see the layout

[@azizankarim342]

Nice diorama. Loved to see your curve radius. It's perfect. The cars won't look segmented when it takes cornering. Thumbs up. Bravo...😅

[@monmixer]

This is a good way to model train play if you don't have a space to do your own layout or just want to hang out with like minded people. I imagine you pay dues to be in the club and you get to play there, correct? I'm guessing how a model railroad club works.

[@stefanleybold6073]

… but thats H0 or smaller, … everybody speaks about Problems, jerky run-up, shaky wagons, no scaleconform tracks, wagons and locos are not in quality scale, there are people, who lay tracks in multiple floors, they drive, brake or accelerate too fast, and there are unnaturally much tracks.

[@cjdavis2684]

Ok I have to ask, Why is the statue of liberty standing in a PA river? That is Not where it is at and it looks really out of place in that scene.

[@ronjones568]

It is on the Susquehanna river near Duncannon pa. Look it up on the Internet. It's crazy.

[@SIERRASGRANDES]

LA VERDAD ALGO SORPRENDENTE MIS FELICITACIONES SI ESTARIA BUENO QUE CIRCULARA CON OTRO TREN ADELANTE PARA QUE VAYA CON UNA PRECAUCIÓN AGREGAR QUE PARE ENTRE A DESVIO PARA NO SER TAN MONOTONO YA QUE SE NOTA LA ALTA TECNOLOGÍA Y AVANCE ES MUY BUENA SOY UN EX CONDUCTOR DE LOCOMOTORAS

[@icemaster-]

This video made me have a dream where I turned my entire farm into a massive o scale model railway.

[@nicoleraits-murphy8388]

I love your Chanel I love model trains my fav thing in the world

[@greatloverofmusic1]

Wow.

[@pinetree9343]

Excellent layout. 10 out of 10. Very detailed.

Fantastic!!!!

[@TheMushroom246]

[@pilentum]

About the cameras, please take a look at www.pilentum.org/camera-blog
