- In this video, we see that model railroading, railway modelling or rail transport modeling is not just an international hobby, but also that railfanning connects people across borders. Although Carlo Spada lives in Italy, he likes American railroads and trains, especially powerful steam locomotives and diesel-electric locomotives.
Carlo has used “Pilentum’s Upload Service” to show us his model railroad layout and to share his enthusiasm for model trains with us. By the way, any viewer of Pilentum Television can submit videos to present his model rail layout to an international audience. Please, take a look at www.pilentum.org/submit-video for further information.
In 2014, Carlo began building his model train layout in HO scale. His miniature world in 1/87 scale covers an area of 9.0 x 4.5 meters and depicts areas of the United States that are particularly close to his heart, such as Arizona, California and Colorado. On the model railroad layout he installed tracks, points and switches made by manufacturer Peco (Code 83). The model trains are controlled by an ESU ECOS2 digital control center and the LISSY system from Uhlenbrock.
On the model railway layout the double-track railway line is divided into a total of seven blocks in which six model trains can run simultaneously. He has arranged the blocks in such a way that trains with a length of approximately five meters can run. Trains and the great locomotives of the United States are the most important protagonists in this video. Therefore, many videos have been taken at the large engine shed or on the turntable, where we can enjoy the locomotives and their digital sound modules.
The rolling stock, locomotives and freight cars are made by various manufacturers, including Athearn Genesis, Kato, Broadway Limited, Intermountain, Rivarossi, Scale Trains, Atlas and Walthers. Carlo owns a large collection of diesel-electric locomotives, including the GE AC4400CW, ES44AC, ET44AC, EMD SD70, EMD SD90, GE P42DC, EMD F7, GE Dash 9, GE Dash 8 and EMD F40PH. Carlo also loves the powerful tender steam locomotives, for example the Pennsylvania Railroad 2-10-4, Pennsylvania Railroad 4-8-4, Southern Pacific No. 4294, a 4-8-8-2 cab forward type steam loco, or the Union Pacific Big Boy No. 4015 4-8-8-4. Finally, there are other steam locomotives in the large roundhouse, such as a 4-6-2, 0-8-0 and 4-4-4.
Apart from the desert area that Carlo has rebuilt with real sand from the Mojave Desert, he has also installed battery-powered road vehicles on his HO scale layout. The truck and the bus have a magnet attached to the front steering. The magnet follows a steel wire hidden under the road surface. The beautiful wooden trestle bridges are made by model kits from the manufacturer Micro Engineering Inc. Houses, buildings, engine shed and the turntable are made by model kits from the manufacturer Walthers.

You have spent many years building a model railroad layout? Wouldn't it be nice if you could present your model train layout to the world? Pilentum Television offers you this unique opportunity: You can reach an audience of millions and present your model rail layout on Pilentum’s video channel. Please, take a look at www.pilentum.org/submit-video
The realism is NEXT LEVEL! Amazing layout. Great scenes!
This model railroad even has train separations, now that’s realism for you. 😁
So does ttte witch is realistic good job
In reality these inconveniences exist, I have seen several of them on RUclips videos. It's easy to reproduce them in Ho scale; the tail locomotive is not part of the consist and therefore (not having coupled the hooks between the wagons that will separate) being able to control it separately, I decreased its speed.
to bad i couldnt shrink myself down and live in a world like this model layout....
Absolutely one of the best layouts I've ever seen 👍
First off, I live here in the states and I'm very familiar with the Southwestern Landscape and I'm amazed this guy in Italy captured it so well. Fabulous layout, great locos and rolling stock, scenery is excellent. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you for the comment! I have visited the United States of America three times and I prefer the Western area even if your whole Great Country is fantastic. Crossing parts of Arizona, California and Colorado I was amazed and what I saw will remain in my heart forever.
Great the bridges and the steam locomotieven real Americans
Makes my little layout look like a little layout even though I have 110 feet of mains !! Well done on this awesome achievement!!..
Such a beautiful layout! Love the weathering on the UP's, the Big Boy, the T-1, and for me the best shot was that of the slow moving Cab Forward!
What a lay-out! Love it. Beautiful train combinations, super building setup, and running cars as finishing touches. It is nicely documented as well!
Thanks for sharing! Love the UNION PACIFIC!!!!
Yay! Your videos are always great, and I love the intro.
Great layout, excellent video.
This is an amazing and very well made setup with the trains, trucks and that fantastic background that looks 100% real. Thanks so much for sharing this with use. Made my day!
I'm happy you like it, thank You very much
This is an amazing layout. Really captures the beauty of the SW. Great attention to detail. Thx for sharing
Thanks for watching!
The longer I watched..the better it got… .and I watched it MANY TIMES! It’s a Picasso of miniatures miracles! Thanks for allowing the world to share your art! ( This viewer from Queensland Australia..🇦🇺
Thank you so much! what our eyes look at with pleasure and love in reality, often gives rise to the desire to be able to reproduce it.
In model railways, the temptation to try is, for me, a desire that makes dream.
The scenery is awesome with the first train passing by BNSF in the Desert love this Layout and Union Pacific and more trains including Santa FE and this steam engine here Departing
Thank you for your words! there are many ways to express the pleasure we feel for what our eyes see. To all those who watch the film, I would happily like to let you know how much I like your country and their unique trains.
Beautiful Railroad!!! WOW!!!!
Arizona dream🚂👍
Perfect model details, perfect building details, superbly crafted!🚉👏👍
Fabulous layout, looks a real labour of love 😊
.Super film - Like.
This is the best model layout vid I’ve ever seen
Mind blowing layout..just wow.
Espectacular que obra de arte felicidades
Fantastic layout
beautiful layout
Super model! Mersi Pilentum!
🎉🎉🎉 очень интересно и познавательно, все сделано реалистично,одним словом талант художника спасибо
Magnifique ! Belle ambiance, décors extras, matériel roulant incroyable 👍
Coś pięknego! ♥️
Nice layout thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Europeans have the scale cars that drive themselves, if that could be brought to the States, that would be a game changer.
Hi, there is a product called: Car system and it is produced by the German company Faller
Beautiful !
gorgeous!
I like this layout. The tractor trailer & the bus moving on the road 🛣️ on the layout. Amtrak Superliners I have all of these cars & Genesis engine. Union Pacific Diesel locomotive. The Southern Pacific cab Forward. Pennsylvania Railroad Baldwin steam loco. The turntable works well, I especially like the Shop facility for Union Pacific. i'm so familiar with this building from Walthers. Its been featured in other videos two of them were customized & painted for The BNSF model railroad. This video is fantastic excellent views of all shown. 👍🎥⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🚦🛤️🚆🛤️🚦🛣️
I appreciate your comment and I'm glad you like it. Thank you so much
Great!
Totally cool railroad
Extremely nice! The 3-axle trailer is Euro though. We don't have those here.
That three axle trailer are present out west including four axle trailers just wanted to correct you…. I drove out to Oregon twice and then down to Sedona and I’ve seen them out there especially gasoline tankers
Top essa maquete parabéns
i've been Subscribed under an old name , and i'd REALLY like to see Pilentum do SHORTS
... i'm NOT going to stay Long behind ANY video 😮💨 and you make such good viewing . 🖥️
Sorry, but I won't do RUclips Shorts.
@@pilentum 'tis a shame ...
You would do them WELL
and be worth watching
cool
I'm curious! why cold?
1:17 Even the bus stopped when the gates were down.
This detail is obtained with Faller System parts.
A reed relay is fitted on the bus and an electric magnet is fitted under the road before the tracks which is activated when the railroad crossing barriers are closed.
Location modeled? Looks like Arizona.
It's not a specific location, it's a set of areas that I admired while crossing part of Arizona. Then with my imagination I tried to unite all these images that remained within me.
He's got the quintessential North American rail power on display, is there a European equivalent that us Americans can purchase to reciprocate? Are there European, locos, train sets, that you would look at on an american layout and say "oh yeah, that's home"?
I have always had Italian style trains which I still appreciate but, when I visited your great Country I also saw your extraordinary trains in those wonderful settings and I fell in love with them. In Europe trains are all similar to each other and speed is the factor that matters most.
The steam engine says Pennsylvania but the scenery says NM, AZ, UT, NV.
Certainly the Pennsylvania locomotives circulated in the Eastern area of the USA but, it may happen that in Ho scale these models circulate "outside the area". On the other hand, recently, hasn't the 4014 Big Boy circulated in areas that it had never crossed in its years of service?
@@carlospada9586 of course!!
The people don't move... where're the eletronics enginners ?
I'm working on it😃
Nice layout, but the engine sounds do get to me after a while. Too high pitched.
If the cars are battery-powered how do you control them,?
In these cases there usually is a magnet below that moves around, or if its sophisticated enough the car would move itself
Look up Magnorail, it's a system with a motor and chain assembly with magnets attached to some of the links that pull the vehicles along.
The truck and the bus have a magnet attached to the front steering. The magnet follows a steel wire hidden under the road surface.
Can someone tell me how the cars are able to move I had a model train when I was younger so I understand that
What is that engine at 19:40?
In an attempt to fulfill its power needs the Denver & Rio Grande Western, as well as Southern Pacific, turned to German builder Krauss-Maffei. Krauss-Maffei ML 4000 is a road switcher diesel-hydraulic locomotive.
Soon I will publish a video about the Krauss Maffei locomotive on my RUclips channel
