  1. Wow…all those trains running behind one another on the same track.. must have lots of power.
    A ZW ++ Ill have to go back and review the article.

  2. I would say that this layout is one of the most realistic I've ever seen. Such
    detailing to scale and so real-life that one could almost feel as though
    he/she was there. I'm sure much time and patience went into the work
    (which probably never ends). Great

  3. I wish my layout could look this good.
    I see lots of ideas, but I would have liked to have seen an overall view of his layout.

  4. I can't wait for my October issue of Classic Toy Trains to arrive so I can get more information on this fantastic layout.

  5. Wow, words fail me! I could have sworn I was looking at the real thing and not O Gauge models. Absolutely superb!

  6. on page 38 of the October Issue,Steve highlights one of his many engines.Whats the engine model and who manufactures it?

  7. Great video. I can envision myself standing somewhere in the city watching the action. Nicely done.
