Now THAT was a great train ride...even kinda spooky crossing those bridges and trestles...being an engineer and crossing those has to be a puckering experience no matter how many times you do it...impressive work and eye for detail like the workers in the beginning who had the mishap with the baggage cart...thanks for showing...
An excellent layout in so many ways. A feast for the eyes. I especially liked the suspension bridge--nice work! This is a great channel. I appreciate the work you do to make these videos. Thank you.
Hi David, thanks for watching and the comments. The suspension bridge was actually built in the 1940's when the Club was located in Toronto's Union Station. Now serving in its ~80th year...it has seen many 10s of thousands of O scale trains.
Stay tuned.... for even more madness...chk out other vids on the Model Railroad Club of Toronto's YT site: ua-cam.com/channels/irQ1VO85VaRWI5jdjuaCJQ.html
Hats off to the intrepid viewers who make it through the round-trip! As impressive as the entire layout is... (and it is!) it is tedious without any explanations/commentary.

O Guage is where I got my start in model railroading when I was ten with a Lionel New York Central train set. Still have it to this day. If only I had the space and time to continue the hobby.
O! That's a lotta work, eh? But, I wanted to check it ewut! (just practicing my Canadian-English ... born in Buffalo and grew up in the excessive snow and cold of Hamburg, New York, but left for good in 1971... won the 1st ever Vietnam Birthday Draft Lottery, as a manner of speaking). Very impressive layout. I've been in warm weather for so many years I had to put on a sweater when we got high up on the trestles and bridges. Como siempre (As always) an excellent Pilentum presentation of a great work/super layout. Gracias por tu video. R.T. sends, envía et envoie (still some using French in Canada, even in Toronto?), Colonia Centro Histórico, Puebla, México...
Gracias por ver este video! And thanks for your comments. Buffalo was always a favorite place to go train watching, such huge traffic volumes and variety. Must have been even more amazing back a few decades before all of the neat stuff was ripped up. (btw...in Toronto now you'll hear more Mandarin, or Hindi, or Arabic than you'll hear French... cosmopolitan city it is!). Cheers
@@modelrailroadcluboftoronto1643 In the summer month that is that part of Ontario, Canada, we would also go to the Algonquin Park and Parry Sound further north than Toronto. They spoke a form of Canadian-English incorporating a few words of the indigenous Muskoka tribe's dialect... and now, I believe, Canadian Sasquatch. Just a beautiful place! Now at 72, I think that visiting your model railroad would be more to my liking. RT sends, Puebla, México. ¡O! ... I vaguely remember seeing steam on one of the NYC or Penn Central lines in 1956, 57 or 58 in Hamburg south of Buffalo. I'd go train watching there with my Dad. Again, great work Club Toronto, amigos del norte!!!
We've been building it since 2013, about 20% came from our old layout, as we saved the large yards and suspension bridge plus the big steel arch at the entrance. Thanks for the comment too!
Hi Robert, the equipment is all wired for 2 rail operation just like you find in other scales. Not as common as O scale 3 rail but far more realistic. The Club has been using 2 rail exclusively since the early 1960s. Thanks for watching!
More than likely a bizarre thing for me to say, but O Scale or O Gauge seem to look less realistic than HO/OO to me. Don’t know why but anyway a very impressive layout. One question though, what are those sort of hissing like sounds coming from the loco? Great vid as always Pilentum 😊👍
@@sarge4455 The detail level in O that is obtainable with structures, track, and rolling stock is much much greater than one can get with the smaller scales. One has to see a model side by side to really understand. Also the equipment is about 6X more massive... so train handling of larger heavier trains is very different from HO. And finally perhaps its just that O scale 2 rail is not often seen and ones mind automatically thinks of the lesser detailed O scale 3 rail equipment. Thanks for watching and your thoughts.
Problem os O scale layouts are normally larger than HO ones so it takes more time to get the same detail level. It took 8 years to complete my HO/HOn3 layout and and I am now building for 15 years on my S/Sn3 layout and detail level is app 50 %.
When formed in 1938, the Model Railroad Club of Toronto used outside third rail (like subway systems) which was popular at the time. In the early 1960s they converted to the more realistic two rail system. Two rail O scale can certainly be found but are certainly outnumbered by the three rail contingent. Typically an easy conversion, with the need for two rail wheel sets and better couplers. Check out Proto48 for the next step in realism! Madness.
That the first two rail O I have seen in a long time. It looks great.
merci à TV PILENTUM de nous présenter cette vidéo et bravo au personnes pour le réseaux
The pictures shown during the long tunnels are an excellent treat. 👍🏼😊🚂
Thank you!
Superbe réseau, merci pour la balade.
Beautiful details! 😉👍💺
Nice details and layout, thanks for showing us.
Thanks for watching!
As always enjoyed a top video and a good choice of music 👌, thank you!.👍
That's really impressive. Superb track work ,it's cool to see those rails all shined up
Thanks Tommy Martin!

Glad you enjoyed it! And so far no disasters on the high steel trestle... which was installed in early '22.
An excellent layout in so many ways. A feast for the eyes. I especially liked the suspension bridge--nice work! This is a great channel. I appreciate the work you do to make these videos. Thank you.

@@modelrailroadcluboftoronto1643 Do you still have trains from the 1940s?
Very nice ride along layout looks fantastic thanks for the great share. Thanks 👍🏻🔔🚂😎 TSM
Wow!
The layout is amazing. I hope there is a video in the future as progress continues.
Thanks for sharing!
Stay tuned.... for even more madness...chk out other vids on the Model Railroad Club of Toronto's YT site: ua-cam.com/channels/irQ1VO85VaRWI5jdjuaCJQ.html

Hi, here is a link to a more recent trip that does feature some commentary: ua-cam.com/video/CouI3f0crHY/v-deo.html. (Hope this is ok Markus)
Замечательный макет! Восхищаюсь мастерством людей, которые это сделали!
FANTASTIC LAYOUT!
Wow, I shared to my facebook page
Les trains, un spectacle fascinant dont on ne se lasse pas ! Merci !
Merci beaucoup!
Fantastic lay-out great to see
Thank you Mustafa!

Obviously still a work in progress on some parts but it loooks amazing!

Thanks for watching and sharing your Lionel train infused youth.
Superbe! Merci du partage! Stéph.
Merci Stephane!
wow amazing trainz
NICE!
Wonderful, merveilleux.

Veramente eccezionale ottima la telecamera rende molto bene la dimensione del plastico
🕊Oh là là ! C'EST MAGNIFIQUE👏👍.
Merci très bien!
Bom vídeo excelente parabéns 🎊
One of the coolest layouts I've seen.. How long did it take you to build it? Awesome video 🙂

Fantastique 🔥🔥🔥
NICE LAYOUT
So good
Best yet, how did you all avoid 3rd rail? I don't like that middle rail for power, takes away the look, how you do it?
Hi Robert, the equipment is all wired for 2 rail operation just like you find in other scales. Not as common as O scale 3 rail but far more realistic. The Club has been using 2 rail exclusively since the early 1960s. Thanks for watching!
Great layout & vlog, but the sound of the e ngines cutting in & out spoils it
有宏观图吗？
all well and good,but it would be nice to see the trains
We will definitely publish another video at Pilentum TV in which we will see the trains - a lot of trains :-)
Thanks
Is this O gauge ?
Hi Shafiq, yes this is O scale 2 rail. Thank you kindly for watching.
@@modelrailroadcluboftoronto1643 such beautiful project ! !
Is this larger then the O scale model railroad in The Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Carnage Science Center?
The Model Railroad Club of Toronto's layout is about 100' by 38'.
Sorry, I don't know the layout in the Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Carnage Science Center.
More than likely a bizarre thing for me to say, but O Scale or O Gauge seem to look less realistic than HO/OO to me. Don’t know why but anyway a very impressive layout. One question though, what are those sort of hissing like sounds coming from the loco? Great vid as always Pilentum 😊👍

O is definitely less realistic
Do the trains ever crash or derail?
Hi Sarah Day, derailments happen but not too often... we take great care to keep the track and equipment in top working order.
Only if your train is Amtrak
I didn’t know O scale had 2 rails

Show 👍👍👍👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Remember when Lionel came out with that really crappy looking b/w camera to put in loco front ends? This is how it was meant to be. lol
Tall layout
красота
大きい事はいい事だ
Meh! Mine is bigger!
LOL! now thats funny
