When I was in my late teens I used to work as an apprentice carpenter and we worked on this one house and the owner had one room which was just beyond massive with a complete 00 layout all the track was down but no scenery at all just track, at that time I was making models and painting miniatures as a hobby and got really friendly with the owner who offered me a weekend job to make all the scenery for his layout which I did over the next few years. that was 30 years ago now. because of that man being so kind, it put me on the track of what I am today a self employed Miniature Artist. You never know what will turn up in life but I thank my lucky stars I found the locomotive man.

Model railroading is a great hobby and the people that built that beautiful layout should be really proud of the work they have done, it is by far one of the nicest O gauge layouts I have seen on youtube or anywhere for that matter.

Wait, HIRED to RUN MODEL TRAINS?!? SIGN ME UP!

NOW hes a millionaire. When he started, he was a billionaire.

Wow...the people he hired to build and run this are fabulous! What dedication to their craft!!! I admire that spirit!!

& the coolest part is he wants to share it with others.👍

Must be nice being a millionaire to build this.

I don’t quite know what to say. All I can think of is that that layout is absolutely incredible! Thanks for sharing!

Holy crap and it's O gauge to!!!!

King 5:Bigger then your home! Most of us: yep. Rich Boi: THAT'S TINY!

Fully correct dirt from the locations is a crazy cool dedication

Holy moly! This layout is huge and very detailed! Excellent! I can’t believe you guys use real dirt!

Amazing! I’m in love with that layout. Then I look at my table “yup”........... I need some guidance...........

The control panel is just like a full-sized railroad control centre!

That is awesome great job guys ! I wish I could get my layout even close !!!

An excellent layout. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.

This is so awesome! This is the type of model railway I would like to achieve when I'm older! :D

Being a RR buff as I am, I can really appreciate his collection & the time he has put into it. There R good things about it. 1-the weather is always ideal. 2-no accidents what so ever or sabotage people. 3- no idiots running the RR crossings. 4-all your platform people R always where u leave them. 5- whatever u want to change or make better is your decision & not your platform people. A good book to have that Amazon sells-Train Wrecks-by Robert C. Reed, only B & W Pages all kinds of accidents wonderful book for a train buff to have & enjoy.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL LAYOUT👏👏👏👍👍☝️☝️☝️☝️The time & $$$$ can’t even imagine FANTASTIC JOB GUYS!!

Must be nice to have so much money that you can hire other people to participate in your hobby.

This is Disney Imagineering level amazing! Seriously that team should do theme park pavilions!

Thank you for sharing this Awesome Layout

I have a 28' x 15' O Gauge layout that takes up about 1/3 of my basement, I built it myself over a 20 year period but its small compared to this. This artistic creation is one of the best O gauge layouts I've ever seen.

Fantastic! Greetings from France! You need somebody to sweep the leaves up in those miniature forests to avoid miniature forest fires lol. Great layouts, it's wonderful!

AWESOME!!! Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work.

AMAZING!!! I would build a vacation around seeing that, whenever it's made public

Dude that's so detailed!

Beautifully done. Wish I had the space.

Wow! that's one hell of an awesome layout, I'm a model railroading fan myself. but how I got started in the hobby is a Heck of a story behind it first train set was a pennsylvania flyer and sadly that one met the hands of a six year old who had no respect for taking care of his trains , trains vs an open can of paint , the second one is better but it to had something happen to it but not as bad just the speaker doesn't work anymore , the last one is sure to make anyone cry because it is the most special memory behind it it was a translvania express set and that was the last one I got, because my grandpa got sick stage 4 but your all probably thinking "he could make it" right? Sadly no he passed away on December 13, 2013 He was the only person who understood me and he even before he died he built a layout by the name of coal bridge railway and I'm waiting for it to be able to get passed down to yours truly 😉 !

He's right...I have a large home and his forest areas dwarf my entire house :-) AWESOME LAYOUT---!!!

There was a giant train layout in King Street Station, but Amtrak kicked them out. The room has been empty for decades.

So cute! Everyone should have a hobby Tiny Town scene they build; it's so fun. (Even if you can't afford the model train).

Wow! Love it! :-D

What a job!!! Are you taking resumes??

Dig what you've done with the three track trains. Wow!! BarstowRick out.

Thank you.

Awsome that food looks great. What restraunt is that?

I am part owner of a large train set that is totally outdoors. Parts of it can be seen in multiple locations. A person can actually ride on this train set. There is a large number of cooperative owners. The scale is 1:1. The name of the system is “Amtrak”.

I would love to hire a posse to build me a model train set :) Now that's money well spent!

This is my dream layout

HOLY MOLY PEPERONI THAT LAYOUT IS BIGGER THAN MY HOUSE!!!

Would love to have a layout like this

Oh I’m so bringing my ho scale southern pacific diesel fleet there

Great stuff 👍🏻

When become rich one day I Will build a o gauge Lionel model trains layout just like this in my basement

Awesome 👏.

where is this located and is this opened to the public yet?

Is that the Royal Hudson? The real one is being restored in a museum just a few miles away.

Fascinating!!

Wonderful layout. Is the crew still working on it?

I remember I had a small one of these it was fun

love it!!!!!

Awesome !

It looks like right on the scale of DISNEY.

Gosh,Wow !!

Wow very cool layout

Love it!

More thing like that needs to be all over to get the new generation involved. It's a scary thing when they see the electronics of the layout. Then the DCC and whatever people run. Intimidating.....

The fact that this runs on 60 FPS with THAT MANY trees is amazing to me.

Awesome layout.

Great layout, pity about the pop video style. Camera never stays still on anything long enough to take it in.

imagine trying to vacuum and dust that entire set

3-rail? Blimey I thought that went out years ago

Medina NY? I am in Akron. Are you open to visitors?

That must've been expensive.

Awesome! Moving it? Never gonna happen.

where can we find this model railroad show

I would never leave this basement again!

Rest in Pieces Roadside America ❤

Is it possible to visit this layout? Is it a museum?

Jennifer...wow hubba hubba

amazing

A M A Z I N G !!!!

Wow!!!

The track might be built in sections but good luck getting it out the door.

Awesome!!👍👍🚂🚂🚂

can you please show the whole layout once in a while _

Wo ist das ?

1:22 OK, someone has to up the realism on this windmill, that’s sad.

Can I buy this at my local toy store?!?😊. This is incredible!

Quikrete at 1:40!! Details! Love ‘em!

これは素晴らしいですねー。私も鉄道模型やっていて英語で紹介したいので英会話を勉強しています🤣

this is so cool

I just want to play warhammer on that 🤣🤣🤣

The 1/2 second, 3 second, 5 second cuts made me very sad.

Has this been moved to a public location?

Just wait til they find out about Miniature Wunderland.

This is great, illuminated passengers on trains, but no evidence of the train crews needed to run them. So only half marks there. We always said in England that we could "Run a perfect train service if it wasn't for the passengers", from a retired English train driver. ( only half the job again ).

Wooooo 😯

He has people hidden in his basement 😂

Guidance Hell I need the money .

I wouldn't have chosen 3 rail Lionel, but to each his own

Where are these trains located? And are these HO gauge?

Real nice

As nice if not nicer than Hamburg Germany because it's my preferred scale in 3rail

Υπεροχο

I couldn’t do it, i’d spend hours just running them into each other.

Does this guy ever accept visitors? Medina is just around the corner from me.

Wish i could do that

Só dá pra falar uma coisa...... UAU
