Bill Kachel’s Cosmopolitan Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad from Pittsburgh to NYC and New Haven is an HO scale DCC controlled railroad. Incorporating the PRR, New Haven and Reading RR's. Includes the Hell Gate Bridge, Horseshoe Curve and the Zoo interchange in Philadelphia. Over half has catenary. His railroad has been featured in the season 9 of the TV show “Tracks Ahead”. This layout is truly an amazing feat of model railroading engineering and is open to visitors during the November Model Railroad Open House schedule for PA, DE, MD and NJ.

The grit, the dirtiness of it all, strewn trash between rails, in the ditches, the uneven rails, the potholes, broken fences, RR equipment left here and there, rust where it's always found, standing dirty water. It's all there. Just fantastic. So authentic. Mega kudos.

Such RR realism here and intricate detail. This takes amazing passion with the hobbyist. I feel like being in a cab going through a metro landscape. Vintage power wiring cables going through factories and freight yards. This is a gold star layout. Gifted talent.

I have never seen any layout as astounding as this!!! I left Philadelphia as a child but this layout shows NEC railroading at its finest! Soooo realistic! It is a mystery to me as to how anyone could possibly give this video a thumbs down!

I passed by the Sunnyside Yard for many years while commuting on the Long Island Railroad when I worked in Long Island City and Manhattan, back in the late 1960's. Your layout caught the yard in all it's glory. Fabulous job!

This is awesome! I grew up in the NY area and always loved the action at the sunnyside yards. Just need the #7 flushing trains passing overhead. :)

Fantastic! I kept expecting the figurines to move! LOL The real bonus for me was the EP-5 which I grew up watching in Connecticut. Thanks!

The ride is bumpy & jerky & the cam a bit out of focus however, glad to have seen this absolutely stunning layout at all!! One of if not the best cityscapes I've seen yet. Great video!

Looks like a Hollywood sci-fi movie set. You could do a re-make of "Attack of the 50ft Woman" or "Land of the Giants".

A great looking railroad, but why the back and forth at the beginning?

Hey Bill... is there an ETA on Bill K's expansion and is there any chance you'll film a running session? Thanx for this and all your great posts... and how's your own layout coming along? cheers

@bfagan777 7 жыл бұрын

When I find out that Bill's expansion is complete a new video will appear. I am expanding my layout now to include an industrial shifting yard. 2' x 10' with a 9 foot connection to the existing layout. Framing is complete, working on the track now. Bill
