Cab ride on a super sized Märklin model railway layout in HO scale (Part #1)

This model railway layout has got a size of 28 meters in length and 5 meters in width. On this miniature world built in HO scale, there are 50 trains running simultaneously in digital railway control mode. The area of the main station has got a length of approximately 15 meters. There are two railway sections, an inner circle and an outer circle. In this video the train camera is driving along the outer circle. Because of the enormous length of the whole layout there are some fiddle yards or staging yards. Planning and construction of this model train layout began more than 10 years ago. Today, the railroad is part of a public railway exhibition in Germany. Please, visit www.pilentum.de, and enjoy thousands of model railway photos. Thank you.

Love these cab rides.

This is the best HO scale layout I have seen - and I've watched a lot of them. As I watched the detail of the build I knew it had to be Germany. I read the Pilentum description. Indeed it was.

A truly epic cab ride. and it is nice to see all the background track, wiring and layout that is normally hidden from view which shows the amount of hard work that has been put into making this superb model.

MASSIVE - and beautifully constructed.

Nice, complex, if we could see the diorama later maybe is very good.... it is a lot of time "hiding"...

[@drunkenmoosecorp8878]

It was a nice ride, alot of under the layout tho

[@yannik3452]

Nice ride and nice layout, but the ICE 3 has only 8 cars

[@videobruceb8879]

I was getting claustrophobic. Way too much under table.

[@petersh0world429]

Is it a layout that can be visit (if yes - where?) or is it a club or a private layout?

[@gaylespencer6188]

That is a LOT of miles/kilometers under the display areas, meaning stuff not visible to visitors.

Thank you for the clip. Thumbs up. You think you can do a cabride clip of the Pasadena Model Railroad Club's layout? You do come to the States once in awhile, no?

[@Fransamsterdam]

It seems they will be busy for at least another ten years.

[@loganpapa8423]

It's not a bad layout
