I didn't look at the link, but is this the one in Germany? Really amazing what can be done in miniature. All my train stuff is boxed up and in the attic since we moved to this house 6 years ago. It was a choice, wood shop or train room. Thought since we doubled our house size I might get another one of the bedrooms, but not so. Wish I had space in the attic to lay out a room...it's almost tall enough. Jim.

In St Paul Mn, in a former Northern Pacific train shop (Bandanna Square) is a pretty decent model railroad exhibit.....

For Creekers in Colorado, the Denver Society of Model Railroaders has an extensive O-gauge setup in the basement of the real Union Station that's worth seeing.

I LOVE model train. If I had the room, I'd probably be doing more of that than woodworking.
