Cab ride along one of the largest model train layouts about Germany’s coal and steel industry
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- In 2008 this superb model railway layout was opened in the city of Oberhausen, located directly in the heart of Germany’s coal and steel industry, the so-called Ruhr area. Then, this permanent model railway exhibition represented cities, landscapes, steelworks, coal mines and the rail transport in the 1970‘s. The model railroad layout was constructed in HO scale or H0 gauge and covered an area of more than 420 square meters. Due to financial problems, this model railroad exhibit was closed two years after the opening.
Fortunately in September 2012, this large model railway layout was sold to a new owner, who re-installed the whole layout and made it accessible to visitors again. Today, this fine layout is a part of the railway museum, called „Modellbahnwelt Odenwald“, located near Frankfurt/Main, Germany. The miniature world was built according to original track plans, stations and landscapes, for example, the Oberhausen central station, the port of Dortmund, the blast furnace plant of Oberhausen, colliery and coking plants.
On the layout, there are many replicas of well-known buildings in the Ruhr area. Furthermore, a special highlight is the photorealistic background system of the model landscape. The model railroad was designed as a two-wire digital system, which is used by model trains of Fleischmann, Roco and from many other manufacturers, except Märklin. Locomotives, light effects and trains are managed by the digital model railway control system „TrainController“. Enjoy Pilentum’s train journey of at least 80 minutes on a several kilometers long track system.

Thank you, Christian!
Merci pour cette réponse. C'est un circuit grandiose et super-détaillé.
Wonderful.... just to maintain is a full time job for several persons....
I’m still watching.... it has great ideias and layout concepts/solutions... it is like to be in school... train school... 😊
Many thanks for sharing! Great Work!
Always a pleasure to watch!
Thxs!

Getting to see the inside of the layout is so cool
Very cool! Thank you!
Fabulous - interesting, relaxing...watched the whole thing. Love these 'Cab ride' videos...even when they go behind the scenes. And I really like the subtle elevation changes and the attention to detail of the layout.
Thanks very much for creating/posting this.

Complimenti e grazie
Браво, маэстро! Всегда смотрю Ваши работы на мониторе 40 дюймов. Наслаждаюсь детализацией работы!
...на мониторе 40 дюймов - У россиян должно быть много денег ???
:-) :-) :-)
Thanks you! These rides are so addictive..
Superb video of an equally brilliant layout. Thank you Pilentum !

One of the best layouts I've seen..
Took the entire ride, every "mile". Loved every minute! At times I felt as though I was actually there! The other passing and overtaking trains only added to the realism. A very good idea to keep the roof of the building as dark as possible, adding to the "nightime" feeling. I would "ride" again! Fantastic!
Now that’s a layout... fantastic cab ride . Thanks
This was so fun. Love the lights at the depot, and the center island poster. Nice job. ❤
Incredible layout!
A lot of time, effort and money was put into this Choo-Choo train set.
I expected more to see. for example a working containercrane, loading a ship, etc. the overhead cables are desperate, could be better and also working.
Absolutely fantastic the cost must have been tremendously expensive to build and the maintenance of the layout wow. 10 out of 10 . . . . looks bigger than a Amazon warehouse !! Thanks
I love the landscaping and do not have a problem with the speed. It is prototypical for sure. You are right, at higher speeds the details are becoming blurs. I have some experience from my own efforts taking cab-ride videos on my own layout. I was most impressed by the track work. The panorama along the walls as a background is well done and really opens up the scenery.
The entire layout is very well designed and build, but why is it falling in bad repair in some aspects? I refer mainly to the catenary wire system. There are very few places where it would function as a working power pick-up. It is bent badly and even chopped-up in most places. It would be better to take it out altogether and just leave the masts and cross-arms. Something on the camera car often touched the over-head wire and made it jitter. I was worried it may get hung-up.
One other thing that bothered me was the condition of many signals. Where they were red, they were ignored by the camera train and many form signals were bend out of shape.
Excellent is the lighting. While the hall is in the dark, the track-work and landscape are well illuminated.
I watched it all.
Thanks for posting
I do not know the entire history of this model railroad layout. But the maintenance has been neglected in recent years. But for a few months, two technicians are trying to optimize the layout, in particular the catenary.
@@pilentum I am glad to hear it. Are you considering to redo the entire route once he catenary is repaired and optimized?
One more suggestion: Please check and improve the side stability of your camera car. It does tend to wobble a bit. It looks like it has only a two point suspension, rather than the required 3 points. It takes away from an otherwise very interesting video. I had the same problem with some of my cab view videos. I fixed it. Have a look at some of my videos.

Beautiful view on the layout. I've visited it a few years ago and this video copletes the impression of the layout :-).
By the way: I really like the slow speed. Most of the model trains are moving to fast, specially in the curves.
Mersi PILENTUM!!!! SUPER!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍
Four thou... thou... thousand eight hundred meters??? Say what???? ... Wow... 😲
I try to imagine, the length of one meter, two meters, five meters, ten meters, then hundred meters, then... man... 😶
The vastness of its landscape makes it look insanely realistic. The details are gorgeous. In the tunnels, behind the scenes, man, it looks like an alien planet out of a sci-fi fantasy.
And the fleet of shining, cigar-shaped UFOs at the night sky. Must be an alien invasion 😉
...
Wait, do I hear the sound of a steamengine?
...
A hot air balloon, ey pretty ❤
comunque avete fatto un megalavoro straordinario ..... Reale !!
Incredible. Thanks!
That's one hell of a ride. I'd do something with the catenary wire's, the way there all straggly and untidy and when they get caught in the overhead gear of the train is not good. Is there no way to build into the scenery the elevation changes rather than miles of hidden and wasted rail? Even so, it's the train set we all dream of.
Now this is my kind of ASMR
10 AND PRAISE !!!
Pomysłowość ludzka nie zna granic. Majstersztyk. Oglądam i cieszę się jak dziecko. (h).
Simply superb journey.... Woow... Kindly make such videos now also with rail horn sound and speed.....
Lots of inspiration
keep it up!!
Thank you!
I loved it so much. For me some details could be improved, as natural lights, but is amazing. How many people are necessary to control this layout? Thank you very much Pilentum to provide us with this wonderful trip.
The number of people to build this layout is huge. For the model train control it needs (actually) only one computer system and one employee.
thank you very much.
Video grandioso, grazie PILENTUM!
Super nareszcie są napisy dzięki😀
Może są błędy w gramatyce?
31:00 -- Yellow Balloon passengers, 'For we have touched the sky!!!"
Thank you for the effort but the camera was too shaky for me and a little out of focus.
I dig this channel to! Thanks!
That was awesome Thnx!
I was wondering how they kept the track so clean, and then I saw the Roco Clean"wagon. Think that it might be more than that...
You come out of a Tunnel , it look's
TOO REAL !!!. Train coming around a bend right at YOU, Lifelike Landscapes , Very VERY well done,almost as if iv'e been there before in a Dream or, another Life..
Tip my Hat, Raise a Glass!!
To the One's Made this world
POSSIBLE ???.
🚂🚃🚃
that was well worth watching
What is the black (what looks like air brush or paint) on the rails over several of the track switch locations, and some small section of track? Was it used to help with the restoration and to help fight corrosion. Just my OCD watching all of the millions of things in this wonderful layout.
top 🤙
Amazing. Totally amazing!
Amazing detail! Wonder how long, how many workers, and the cost of such an undertaking! So glad it was saved. On my list to see when I revisit Germany. Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
Amazing. I watched most of this, but had to be distracted by other things while it was going on. Am I correct in saying that after one hour and 20 minutes this train still has not done one complete circuit of the layout?
The little blue square, in the bottom, right corner, ruins the video
It would be more complete and authentic if the pentagraph was actually in place, not necessarily working but for show in place. I hope I got that right......"Pentagraph" ? (If I am wrong ,will someone please correct me.....) Otherwise, nice work. I notice that no one else cared to mention it, ah well. It is however, understandably difficult to get each and every detail absolutely perfect, in light of that fact, I think it is an outstanding job putting all that together,........this stuff never ends, it keeps going on & on, draining every penny you have just to make something so small appear just "so right". It's awesome........really is. Peace.
Absolutely a delightful ride. Although the following items can be easily rectified: badly sloping ramp at one station, gaps in background boards, inconsistent power supply, out of scale figurines, dearth of red/green lights. But the best thing beside the wonderful landscaping is THE LACK OF DASHBOARD BOBBLEHEADS. Every other cab ride is severely ruined by the appearance of a real human head.
Do you know the track " All aboard the night train " ... Eventhough it's not the night, it could work ... So it's BEAUTIFULL ... For sure ... Sorry for my "english" ... FROM FRANCE ...
Só não gostei das catenárias mau feitas e em alguns trechos não existem!; mas no geral gostei do vídeo apesar de ser extenso! 👏👏
O comentário é bom: As catenárias são ruins :-(
Thought as if I was in loco pilots seat 😎😘
:( Die Oberleitungen sehen leider recht rampuniert aus....sonst eine sehr schöne Anlage!! Vielleicht würde es Sinn machen die Fahrdrähte zu entfernen.....
Ich hörte davon, dass die Modellbahnanlage im Odenwald, also hier die alte Oberhausen-Anlage, renoviert werden sollte. Was daraus geworden ist, weiß ich (noch) nicht.
where is it?
How do they reach all th a areas for maintenance? Great layout, but a little flat and boring. Is the centenary live of fake?
Catenary = Fake :-)
That's really Riding on the top wire rail ? If so amazing, outstanding work... Great layout 👍 as well
El fondo se ve borroso
🌹😊👍👍👍👍😁
Cab rides always get me, but yellow dot fever on the timeline sure doesn't...
And the camera train runs unnaturally slow - even at 2x normal it seems slow.
Without that yellow dot fever on the timeline, Pilentum would not exist.
From 1:07:01 to 1:07:11 the camera train drives past four parked passenger coaches with 26.4 metres each, so the model speed is roughly 10 meters per second or 36 km per hour. Could be a heavy coal train.
The ads are part of the deal.
PILENTUM Really? How sad. But many of your uploads doesn't have the fever...
Maxim Kretsch Sure, but why choose such a slow train?
@@Hallands. For a more relaxed train ride? Or for the sake of originality when displaying the primary German coal and steel region in 1970? There were no high speed trains then. If you want to speed it up nonetheless it should be no problem.
very nice but 1. give us a view of the train we are on (for such a long video its a must) and for the love of god 2. what is with that horrible robotic broken voice at the start??? STOP THAT. you keep doing that in just about all videos now. STOP
John, about the train = www.pilentum.de/en/model-train-camera.htm - It's Pilentum's camera train in any video. About the voice: I made a mistake. An echo FX was activated on the audio track in the video editing program.
@@pilentum i see. a whole camera wagon.
@@pilentum Link is broken. I think due to changes on PILENTUMs hompage, the camera train can found be there: www.pilentum.de/pilentum-camera-runcam5.htm.
I fili scoperti sono bruttissimi !!!
Sì, la catenaria non è buona.
@@pilentum the only thing I see bad there's an old cars in the yard with a train that size you got to have a lot of cars
