  1. Really enjoyed this. Some good work not only in terms of scenery but all the people in the community made it come alive as well. Thanks for sharing it.

  2. Awesome! This like a Norman Rockwell painting for trains!
    I couldn’t believe it when I saw the train (your first train) I had when i was a little boy.

  3. Second time I have watched this video from start to finish. Extraordinary detail. Very creative use of available space. Definite candidate for Train Video Hall of Fame!

  4. PaPaT turned me on to classic 0 scale trains. What a great hobby. So glad he did. Honored to be the first to post. The layout is grand and the man behind it is a great guy. Enjoy…
