I had the pleasure and privilege to see Dave's layout last summer. Both he and his wife were gracious hosts but after seeing the layout first hand and to say I was impressed would be an understatement. The layout is Museum quality and something to aspire to. Thank you Dave for posting this as you are right "Good enough is not good enough". If I'm invited back I'll bring some of my CP stuff 😉

WOW, what an excellent layout and concepts. Loved the idea of pullout shelving underneath the layout for access to wiring vs laying on your back to do repairs, brilliant. Bravo, for a job well done. Kman

Just amazing. Unbelievable. Beautiful! I'm very glad to see someone modeling the industrial type of a layout instead of the slot car version of going in circles. My current plans is to build a small industrial railroad with industrial scenes that we usually don't see modeled. You're truly an inspiration to us.

If I'm not mistaken I'm hearing a West Country Accent.... is Mr Gunn an ex pat?? I used to model Canadian National/Union Pacific but it's so hard getting rolling stock over here and I don't have the space, certainly not to run either my beloved Rivorossi "Big Boy" cerca 1992 or DD40x. However I must be a glutton for punishment as I recently acquired 3 Bachman Spectrum ON3 narrow gauge loco's, 2 in box's and the third a 28 tonne Shay being converted into an oil burner.....
