A few weeks ago, Pilentum presented some HO gauge cab ride videos on the very large model railway layout of Mr. Hans-Peter Porsche. Now, the big movie is finished. For two days Pilentum filmed the whole model railroad museum built at 1/87 scale. Of course, not all scenes, buildings, locomotives and Marklin trains could be recorded on video. However, in this big movie, which has almost one hour playing time, you can watch a lot of the model train layout and of its details. The journey starts in the railroad section of Austria where trains arriving at the big central station. For example, there are some other stations, bridges and one large railway viaduct. Thereafter, the journey continues in the railway section of Switzerland. This part of the movie begins when the toy train is driving along the impressive bridge. In the Swiss section you will discover the great mountains, many railway lines and a central station again. Finally, the journey through the large model railroad layout ends in the section of Germany. There you can watch many castles representing Southern Germany, the landscape around the Lake Constance and some marshalling yards. If you would like to visit the Porsche railway museum, please take a look at http://www.hanspeterporsche.com. More information and a lot of photos are available at http://www.pilentum.org, for free."

When you're the grandson of Dr. Ferdinand Porsche, designer of the VW Beetle and founder of the Porsche car company, I guess you can afford a big layout! Here's a 9 minute video featuring the final stages of construction for the 250,000 square feet HO scale build. If you choose not to watch the whole thing, it's worth seeing the size of the bridge at 6:40.

It's also worth looking at the sunrise at the start of this amateur video. Does your layout have multiple video projectors for moving clouds?
