    Over the years I have worked in consulting engineering, I had worked on many projects like these I see in the video so I know how much effort it takes to design structures like these and integrate them into the infrastructure . Outstanding

      @travelingman4581 Totally agree. Just another level of craftmanship. I've been involved in model RR'ing for almost 50 years, and I've never seen anything like this.

    Amazing doesn't begin to describe this layout. Bill's attention to detail is unreal. I can't imagine how long the catenary took to construct.

    If you ever have the opportunity to visit this layout, go!. You will not be disappointed. This layout is a marvel. I was there November 4th also. I filmed the layout but Al’s video is much better. And he states it well, this is a work of Art.

    During your introduction you referred to the model railroad as “a work of art”. Well said. How right you are. Too many people think of model railroading as “playing with toys”. They need to see what you are kind enough to share with us.

    This has to be the BEST detailed layout I have ever seen. Bill has done an amazing job and I put him in the same category as the late great Bill Allen with his Gorre & Daphetid layout. So many things have evolved with kits scenery materials etc and Bill has taken detailing to another level with his skills and attention to detail. Thanks Al for an awesome tour, you have prompted me to do better with my layout.

    This is a trip to my past for me. Although I resided in Massachusetts during the 1960's I saw many scenes and heard many of these railroad sights and sounds. I wish my late father could have seen this, for he dearly loved anything railroad and railroad modeling. Spectacular!

    I thought only George Sellios was capable of doing layouts like this. 🙄 This is AWESOME! I was hoping to see a lot more traction equipment running around the layout with all that catenary above the tracks. I'm a traction fanatic, so I was a little disappointed there. But, still, I am really impressed with the details in this layout. It's difficult to imagine a single person putting this whole thing together. What a masterpiece! I'm glad to have seen it!

    Oh crime in Italy. He has shipyards and everyhting in there. Good stuff , I considered getting into this hobby but it's quite expensive to do right and I'm certainly mature enough to skip the the beginners set. Learning to work on some old cars would certainly help but I'm not quite over my first love of guitars.

    Absolutely beautiful layout. Other videos do not do it any justice, one more question do they switch out industries? For example the steel mill the gondolas look beautiful, are they scenery? Or do cars get shuffled around? Either way stil a Wow😮 layout. Tuff call between this one the FSM and Howard Zane. I guess if you do an interview those questions will be answered. Look forward to it.
