Freight room in a restored 1900s depot, now there's a most fitting setting for a model railway! 😎

Dave is definitely young at heart and is staying young. He has a very warm and welcoming smile and face. What an incredible and hard to believe it's possible layout. Wonderful ! I am blown away by it.

Stunning. I LOVE tiny detail in dioramas, and this reminds of diorama on a much grander scale. I'm in awe and would love to see this in person and pore over it at leisure. I'm thinking of Z or T if the selection expands as I love in a small two room apartment. Thanks for sharing and for all the work! The effect of Z scale as explained herein is what really draws me to it. It's not cartoonish like the larger scale where you see the train and then happen to notice some scenery around it, but you see the world and the train comes in and out of view. It mimics real life so much more closely. I'm intrigued enough to research every aspect and start pricing things. Thanks again~ (ps anyone wan't to buy a bunch of OLD HO stuff now???) lol

The big plus of the smaller Z scale is that you can fit so much more in less space, the downside is that the trains become more 'finicky' .. you can see them shake in this video and dirty rails also become a bigger problem. Beautiful layout.

My dad loved his trains. We kids would help him build and rebuild 3 or 4 full 4x8 plywood-sheet HO layouts and the whole neighborhood would come out to see it every Christmas.

The description of environmental lighting by John Buckley makes think what he’s doing is like the reverse of planetarium accent lighting. People in that field might have good suggestions.

Great video. The layout is outstanding. The issue with Z scale (Or benefit?) would seem to be that there is so much more to populate. It's hard to take in just how much is going on within' the first frame alone.
