Ya gotta take a look at the miniature railroad featured in the Daily Mail. It looks like a realistic movie set. The track stretches over eight miles of landscape including canyons, bridges, tressels, tunnels, a lake (with boats), amusement parks, construction sites, Civil War battle scenes, miniature golf courses, valleys, deserts, rain forests,and cities and small towns…oh, and people and vehicles…wow! The canyon area features a 30 foot tall mountain (6,000 scale feet).
Bruce Williams Zaccagnino really did “build that.” He and his wife are is the owner and operators of Northlandz Great American Railway – “the world’s largest model railroad,” located in Flemington, New Jersey.
Gives a whole new perspective on that choo choo under the Christmas tree.
Post Scripts is linking to a story on a British TABLOID??? The story cannot possibly be true! Heavens to Murgatroyd! You have lost all credibility.
True, true…it can’t possibly be true…but it’s a beauty isn’t it?
I’ve always been fascinated by replications and impressed by the dedication it takes to construct them.
Closer to home, there are GREAT model railway museums in Balboa Park in San Diego, and another wonderful display in Durango, CO. Both worth a stop if you’re in the area. The Railway Museum in Old Sacramento is a fun whistlestop as well, although they didn’t have model railways the last time I was there.
A railway museum without model railways? How does that work?
If I ever have a chance to retire before I’m totally disabled ;-), I’ll keep those destinations in mind.

Some WordPress sites are setup to allow WordPress YouTube vid embedding and image embedding in the comments section.
These features are missing in Post Scripts and it may be that Post Scripts has no control over what features can be added.

Love the Racoon. Wish I were up to par on the html stuff. I have had problems using it at times but my skills are limited.
Maybe Jack can address this with you?
