My dad is a real train enthusiast. He worked on the Underground until he retired a few years ago. We all think that it was a hobby he happened to be paid for! Anyway, he always wanted a room of his own to set up his trains and now he has one! He and mum have created such a wonderful layout together - truly it is amazing - such little details everywhere you look! Anyway, this is just a very small taster!

A visit to Emerald Farms, Greenwood, S.C.
You could spend a day watching the model trains and looking at all the model buildings, cars, etc,, if there wasn't so much else to do.
Further to the south lays the old town of White River. The morning coal train rumbles through town bringing empties to the mines in the hills.
The start of track laying with the fiddle sidings and reversing loop at the lowest level. Note suports for upper levels

The choo-choo is the last remaining location of a 1950s chain of diner-style restaurants that served food on model trains. A beloved icon of downtown Des Plaines, it is one of the first child-oriented restaurant concepts, it has inspired a host of imitators. Today it is a remarkably intact example of a 1950s diner in the rare Miesian modern style, by IIT graduate Robert Stauber.

There's a couple of other guys from Copenhagen as well..
David Lee of Dundas, Canada spent 50 years making this elaborate model train set in his basement to 1/87th scale.
In 2017, it was moved to the McMaster University Health Sciences building at Bay St. and Main St. in downtown Hamilton.
Sadly David Lee died on January 22, 2019.
2 axled track cleaning wagon based on a SBB box goods wagon with brakeman’s platform. Have to say, I am pretty surprised by the result. One round on your tracks and they are clean where I believed for years this could not work. Don't know why, was just based on only a negative feeling. A good buy which I can recommand to everyone.
A great event for train fans and kids. Los Altos Museum has it annual Train Days this weekend. Maybe 1/4 acre of model train layouts, many different gauges in a beautiful location. One layout has miniature steam engines that burn real coal.
This is the back corner of my N scale model train layout that my dad built for me in the basement of my grandma's house. The room used to be my aunt's studio but she got married and moved out and the room was finished but empty so I got to have my model trains there. I never did very much with them though.
I have no real idea when this is from. My guess would be somewhere around 1988. I still have all of the trains although they haven't run since then. I might even still have the track!
I made a visit to the Chi-Town Union Station model railroad display in Union Lake, Michigan
on January 27, 2012 with Chelsea_Dale, KRFoto and another friend. Chi-Town isn't just any model
railroad, it is the world's largest 0-Scale layout, and they run the world's longest model train.
