Mike, that’s great!
Someone has a lot of free time.

Here’s a display in New Jersey.

I’ve visited it a number of times.

That is some train lay out.   Must be a fortune there.   Especially when he shows the inside area.

   I think that is G gauge?? If you think stunt models or model airplanes in general can get expensive, look into a lay out like one  of these and hold onto you hat!. I happened onto one the other day where the owner had a scale snow plow to use to clear his tracks after a snow fall. That was actually pretty cool along with being functional!!

I keep going back and watching it over and over.  Just fascinates me but then again, I am easily amused.  LOL.

Yes, it's G gauge. One of the most captivating G gauge indoor layouts I've visited is EnTRAINment , Exit #22, off of I-71. Floor to ceiling scenery in three time periods. Civil War, WW II, & modern. Worth the stop coming back from the USAFM at Dayton, Ohio. Just returned from the children's Museum in Cincinnati with the Grandson & Family. Small G gauge layout in the lower floor and AWESOME display of prewar Std Gauge & O Gauge trains filling many shelves. Full size operating Carousel on the top floor. Yes...We all took a ride!  Worth a visit! Many spectacular operating layouts in different gauges around the Country.  I even have a few vids on Youtube.
Have a great week, stay safe & "Tight Lines!"

P.S.; When it's nice outside, I fly planes!

Hi Mike
THANKS for sharing.  That is an incredible layout.  You are right, watching all the loops & switching is mesmerizing.  On the same page there is a short clip of him using his snow plow to clear the way...

For a layout of that size, is the  power still coming through the rails or are the engines self-powered?  Seems you could put a pretty serious li-poly battery inside and not powering the rails seems like a huge simplification.  I presume it has an RC control that he can carry along as he follows the train around.

I dont know how the electronics work but I just found this fascinating Dennis.  I can not even to begin to guess how much he has invested in the layout.  Kinda makes me feel like a kid again.

Model railroaders go to such great lengths to detail the layouts but I’ve never seen a single rail car covered in rust and graffiti like the real thing

If you read the comments on that page he said the components are made to withstand the outdoors.  Still, I wonder how much the elements will degrade that neat layout.
