You’d be surprised. Honestly a lot of layouts are just examples of patience and savings. Most of my clients built their train collections for decades before they called me.

The lift bridge is a product from another company. About the only thing I did was make different hinge brackets as the ones that came with the bridge were too small for my taste.

Looks great

I will add this to my future videos list. Essentially however what I need is pretty basic. Detailed dimensions of the room, scale, type of track to be used, type of layout (watch trains run, switching or combo), any specific industries (or accessories in the case of Lionel), geographic area you want to model, whether or not I will be building it and any other features (rivers for example) or restrictions (need xyz door to remain accessible) you have. I have most of this listed on my website but that usually gets the conversation started. If I do turn down a project Its usually due to unrealistic expectations (36" minimum radius in a 10x10 room for example) or unrealistic timeframe as these usually take me 8-12 weeks to draw and then another 2 weeks to fully quote if I'm doing the benchwork, track work and so on.

And to answer my own question: GKEEMARS

I don't give out client locations, Sorry.
