Truly incredible!! I have traveled the rails many times, and yours is an amazing slice of life as seen from the train, albeit about 100 years earlier. A true work of art, and very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing. -Dave

I am a train fan and have my own collection. I have visited many train shows but your layout will win any of them. Great, wonderful, so good ....... no other words but excellent job. Stanley Ip - Toronto Canada

Super layout. I have an O gauge layout, mostly Lionel stock, but the detail you have built is amazing. How about some more pictures of your rolling stock. Paul

I stopped playing with action figures when I was 13. I'm not being judgmental.

I've always loved model railroad scenes, I think because of the attention to detail. These photos and the subject are some of the most captivating I have seen. I lingered on every photo! The nostalgic feel you created and varied subtleties really enhance the experience. I particularly enjoyed the sirens atop the Hotel, and, of course, the menacing croc. Yours, Tony M.
