I built models as a kid and helped my son when he was into modeling, although cars, planes and ships, not trains. And I have thought to get back to it and when I see pictures like yours and I note too the folks that build super detailed and accurate military subject dioramas I realize if I go there, I may never get anything else done. Must be a thrill to get to the put it on the track stage and be able to share it.
