One Of The Best and Most Detailed Model Railroad Layouts in the World 4K UHD

[@mstephenjoy]

Just stunning! the models don't look staged but like they are caught in a snapshot moment in the middle of doing something. It looks like there is a story behind every scene. Amazing job!

My dad loved model trains. Watching this takes me back to my childhood and my early adulthood when my father and I would talk about wanting to build one major layout that we would both love. We were firefighters together, and even though he was chief, it was something him and I bonded with.. Model trains, RC cars, planes, helicopters, and boats.. He loved his big boy toys.. He never drank, yelled, or most importantly, he never left.. Im the youngest of 4 boys and I am 51 now.. We are all still here and my mother. Unfortunately, My father passed just over a year ago, and it was very sudden. Sudden as in sitting and talking with him at home and two hours later we found him and he was gone. He loved all of us so much and sacrificed himself for all of us.. He was a true man through and through.. But did he ever love his Big boy Toys. Every Christmas I would set up a train under my tree for my two daughters and my father would either help or just come over to enjoy it leading up to Christmas. My daughters are both adults with their own children now, but I still set up that train with tunnels in and out of the presents and the villages for them to remember and enjoy and for my grandchildren to enjoy just as I did.. I am very sorry. I know that was a ton of not needed information, but this video brought back so many great memories.. I was fortunate to have a big kid as my father... 😊

I don’t know how many people this took or how many years, but the variety and attention to detail is outstanding. It’s obvious that so much went into the planning alone. You just can’t through something this fabulous together without a lot of planning and skill. And apparently they have both. My hat is off to you folks on a job that is more than well done. I actually don’t know the right words to describe something this fantastic. And thank y’all for sharing it with the world. It makes us old timers nostalgic when we see something like this.
