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.
Superb effort, thanks for sharing.
Great
wow-fantasic
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
This is the most realistic layout I have ever seen.
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.
Beautiful Layout….would like to see a shot of the whole layout….Great Sets

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

I believe it is a Pennsy FF-2 electric, no. 20-5527-1 by MTH (+ or – 2002 catalog).

Big city railroading at it`s best!!! I like it!
GREAT LAYOUT, ONE OF THE BEST, WOULD LOVE THE SEE MORE IN MOTION.
Great video. I can envision myself standing somewhere in the city watching the action. Nicely done.
