I Was Sent a SMT RR Club Ho Building With a Train Layout Inside!

[@ilkjen]

Mike is my Dad! This makes my heart so happy. He LOVES trains and he sees each little building as a project deserving his full attention and passion. We’ve been trying to convince him that his work is good enough to step outside his “train room”. Your pure and honest joy over receiving this piece put a huge smile on my face. He is so talented and knowing his work is appreciated is so awesome. Thank you for the video! Now I have to share with everyone I know.

[@mercuryoak2]

I gotta say its an awesome work of artistry. And his work is absolutely just amazing all model railroaders would love this its just beautifully done .

[@anthonykowal702]

Has your father ever modeled the main train station at the front of Disneyland?

[@SchuylkillRiverValley]

That model is truly impressive Harrison - never saw anything quite like it! Definitely a one-of-a-kind. Congrats, that is an awesome gift - enjoy! Thanks for sharing. Best, John

[@JohnBachofer]

Okay this is hands down the most amazingly impressive pieces of model railway set pieces I've ever seen. Certainly one of a kind.

[@SMTMainline]

For sure, such a well made piece.

[@johnm.withersiv4352]

I love miniatures inside of miniatures. I love when model trains show up on trainsets and dollhouses.

[@Adamingraham885]

I habe to say, that is THE most detailed ho buildimg I've seen, my favorite detail has to be the airplane above the layout, very cool

[@SolidCold]

Now we just need this building on that smaller layout.

[@trainman05matthewb.65]

layoutception level one was bad enough stop making it worse lol

[@rushylvania.northern]

@@trainman05matthewb.65 with time we can do that

[@gamingwithlukeJToH]

and then you can take the roof off that building and it just keeps going.

[@carmenandthedevil2804]

What a lovely man.Cheers to you Mike for your graciousness to do this for Harrison. Respect Mike.

[@crazypickles8235]

Not bad at all. Very, very detailed and well made model model railroading club!

[@frankishknight1878]

Fabulous work! An HO scale building Masterpiece! What a generous loyal follower, that Mike! 👍😁

[@angryrailfan5711]

That building is insane with the railroad inside

[@randallellison6421]

That thing is insane! All of those little details and the lighting, just incredible! The guy that built this needs to be hired by a model railroad company! Thanks for sharing, SMT!

[@davidztog9011]

One word... EPIC! Your going to have to visit the TV room at Wonka's Chocolate Factory so you can get inside your new Model RR Club, Harrison. Maybe the Oompa Loompas will do a song about you. 🤔 Thanks for sharing. 👍 👍 👍

[@mercuryoak2]

Ahhh yes wonka vision great movie referance.

[@mercuryoak2]

When I seen it i was like dang thats a work of art right there. Lots of time and patience put into it. Its awesome. Heck a model train layout trains posters people fireplace lights even a bathroom i mean this is something I've never seen. My uncle built a dollhouse for my cousin his daughter and the detail he did becau2 its huge had real tile floor in kitchen wood shingles on roof etc. Just awesome job mike. I was waiting for this video after seeing picture amazing!!

[@dennieneff7400]

Wow amazing... mike that was just amazing you are a great pat of the hobby. Right on harrison

[@grantbassett2048]

Hi, "That building is fantastic"what great people and talent this hobby brings. And seeing people sending you boxes and you been so happy when opening them is good to watch!! Keep Safe!

[@alcopower5710]

Wow.....that building is so special. The amount of detail is outstanding. It’s got to go on your layout. The best gift ever

[@RockyRailroadProductions_B0SS]

What an incredible scale layout! There's a lot of life in this little scene, especially with the figures interacting with it. Beautifully made thing!

[@crrguy1625]

PUT IT IN YOUR FAVORITE PLACE ON THE LAYOUT!!! PLUS I SEEN NERF CAT AND DIED LAUGHING!! GREAT ONE HARRISON!

[@vanvorst1999]

👍 Fantastic modeling work and very thoughtful gift!

[@tjprptchable]

[@MikeThomasRailRoadOverhaul]

That is amazing well done very impressive

[@borailroadfan8964]

Great building. Always think that custom buildings are a highlight to a Model Rail Road Layout. Nice video SMT.

[@jimtedesco]

That is an amazing piece of work.

[@nighthawk9097]

10/10 Mike and SMT, just fantastic craftsmanship

[@mikeilkenhons8896]

I just saw this on KZbin... Harrison, thank you for such nice comments. You certainly inspire others, myself included. I really enjoy scratch building and the SMT Club was fun to build. I actually thought about carving a small CN loco and cars... maybe still possible and will send them up if I can pull it off. Cheers, be well. Mike

[@lantabusfan]

Hey Mike what did you use to replicate the track work?

[@mikeilkenhons8896]

BulldogprideNPA It was a free on line layout idea I found that for the size of the layout board I built. It is actually the third one I found. The layout was originally “U” shaped... This one seemed more interesting... one I thought Harrison might build himself. Printed it up twice to use parts when elevations were present. Pasted and cut to make it fit right.

[@lantabusfan]

Mike Ilkenhons ah, that was Avery cool ideal. Thanks, and it truly is a awesome build.

[@FilmingTrains]

Thanks For sharing SMT Mainline! Very Cool!

[@andrewferguson5653]

I am amazed at the detail too! What a beautiful HO scale building, and it blew me away too!

[@shipbuilding1000]

Wow, the attention to detail on/in that structure is striking. Nice model!

[@aaronsadowski1691]

Thanks for some more "scrumptious" entertainment SMT... Always enjoyable!

[@Techmonies92]

The detail is insane

[@GoViaorgohome]

Haha that’s so cool. A layout on a layout. What a great gift!

[@JoelHomieShow]

i love that you such cool and loyal fans to the point that you get things like this!

[@trainstorm1225]

Just got my O Scale Polar Express running again today. My very first train is finally working again! Brings me back. But enough about me, great video and gift SMT! Have a good night!

[@dbtech7914]

Wow, that's incredible detail. I love the model inside a model and the Life Like sign. Very nice!

[@EmPtySworld1]

Impressive building you have..For sure will look great on the layout.

[@nathandelay]

Harrison that’s so awesome and Lucky and even more amazing than what I do For scratch building it’s even more amazing with the details and the lights also have an awesome day Harrison

[@stupidsmart-phone6911]

If you look close there's a building on the mini layout and inside that is an even smaller layout. BTW, have your buddy write something up and submit it plus photos to Model Railroader magazine.

[@MindfulAura73]

That mini layout is so cool!

[@jasonlowes6212]

Now YOU can tell people what meets the club standards

[@SMTMainline]

Haha, that's brilliant!

[@Timothyrucker12]

[@OttawaModelRailFan]

That building looks amazing! And has so much detail. Great video

[@mountblessingrailroad6103]

Wow Mike you are one talented person, the detail inside is off the chart. That should go somewhere where it's always seen when you're doing your videos or live streams until your next video have a good day and stay safe 😷

Good hobby.😊

[@Nathanator-6688]

Now we need a real set club building!

[@realMrHudson]

This is awesome! What if you tried recreating that layout in the building in HO scale? It looks like a fun layout to run trains on, plus you'll have 2 copy's of them in real scale and HO

[@anthonyj.adventures9736]

Thats really cool.
