i've been an n-scaler for 50 years- 40 years in as a club motor man- and i think these huge trains are awesome! compared to what i work on- there's almost enough room to climb right in there. as a kid- i can remember mac lowrey's 'railways of america' o-scale display- mac used to yell at any kid that tried to touch something. this is a much more impressive display, but mac had a lot of scratch-made steam units that were really one-offs. thanks for posting this vid.

@kims2651 I loved electric trains when I was a little girl, too. I still do!! My older brother had a set of Lionels from the 1940s and 1950s and he was kind enough to let me play with them and run them. I have wonderful memories of those trains and those Christmases when we’d run them around the tree and my mother and I would set up a little village with those old putz houses. I used to love that wonderful smell of a train’s undercarriage after it had been running for a while. Precious happy memories.

Their is so much attention too detail in this set-up it's mind boggling. From a lady rocking in her chair, to men sawing wood, a outdoor movie theater with actual movie playing. It just doesn't stop amazing me. AWESOME job guys.

holy cow, the amount of time and money invested in that set up is impressive. I was like, man the light fixtures and electrical on the ceiling alone would blow my hobby budget out of the water. Super impressed with the devotion and passion to the hobby

Incredible tribute to the awesome ability of this family and the detail provided by Lionel. This display isn't exceeded anywhere in the world. It takes your breath away in every way!

My uncle, not the kindest person in the world but family nonetheless RIP, introduced me to the model HO gauge train world and models in general. Trains were always at the forefront of his mind while I knew him. He had many hobbies before I was in the picture; aquariums, legos, guitars, and k-nex were among some that he collected and organized vehemently. His HO scale setup was the most impressive modeling I've seen in person by far. Originally starting in his garage in Lansing, Iowa, he ran Chicago, Champaign, and Southern, a line beloved by his fellow enthusiasts and peers. This line eventually moved down to Rockford, IL during the last years of his life, and later he passed in 2016. His attention to detail was second to none, no stone left unturned, no dot of paint wasted, no grass without purpose. He custom built and painted his diesel and steam locomotives as well as his passenger cars and freight lines. The walls of his facility were adorned with murals of bright nature reminiscent of a mid-west US afternoon. The smell of the room was a dangerous enticement, as if 1000's of packs of Magic the Gathering cards were opened at once or as if a Barnes and Noble had burnt down. While the man was not my favorite person in the world in terms of temperament and egotism, he instilled in me a deep love for all things built by hand, crafted with the soul. The part of him that I love lives on forever in the art of the craft. Thanks for uploading your vids of all types of model trains and things, it really has brought back some deep feelings and memories.

I gave it up and went into comics in my late teens. This video has sparked up that interest again. Thanks and God bless you for sharing this incredible display of a deep love for a wonderful hobby.

As a kid who grew up in the '50s, Lionel was a major part of my life. But to see actual scale reproductions running on Lionel three-rail track is just awesome (as opposed to foreshortened trains obviously chasing their tails!). One can feel the love these folks have for this wondrous hobby. It would be interesting to know how planning took place on a layout this extensive. One really has to have the imagination of a city planner to even begin to conceive of the process. Pretty magical that you arrived during snowfall as model trains are such a part of traditional winter Holiday Seasons. Must, must, must see this in person! But, until that time, thank you for your well shot video with its extensive tour of each nook and cranny. Bravo!

I live in Florence, Italy. By pure chance, I met a man and he's got a building that's more or less the size of half a football field with an incredible and elaborate model train set-up. Pure insanity. I was bold and asked how much he had invested in his toy. Now, this was a few years back and he hadn't finished his vision yet. At that time he had 2.5 million into his little project. Needless to say, he was very rich.

Thank you so much. You brought back memories from the 60’s where a close family friend had his place covered in tracks. The tracks went around most of the rooms except the kitchen and the bathroom. If there was a door, you could expect a train to cross that doorway. To enter or exit a room, you had to duck under the tracks. Of course, it wasn’t anything like this. Sadly he passed and I never saw the train sets again.

Bonkers Davvon! Lol

Thank you very much for sharing. I love trains and this has been an experience to be able to observe the miniatures like this. This is awesome. Thank you so much. Have a great safe rest of your day.🤠

An awesome job and great fun to see running. These people were really working on the railroad!

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL layout and had me speechless for a bit! Had to really think of what I was going to say. The details included in this layout is beyond spectacular! It's so cool how there are different themes etc as you walk along. What can you say abt the amount of building's that fit every square inch of every theme. My favorite locomotive on this layout was the FIRST RESPONDERS CSXT train! I sit and think how much this would be valued at from start to finish and know the total would be mind blowing! Thanks for sharing this video and look fwd to seeing the next one.

You hit the mail on the head! When I first showed the layout that was after I had calmed down a bit. I walked in and didn’t know what to say 😂

This is amazing! When I was younger I went to the Novi Train Expo, here and MI and seen a Lego version of New York (still with the tower) and that has nothing on this! Wow! This is definitely on the list of trips of next year. Thank you!

What a extraordinary imagination to be able to do this. This is 1 of the coolest thing I've ever seen.
