That train Depot at 10:53 reminds me of the one here in my hometown. The 100+ year old building was just renovated to include a model railroad display of coal trains, which are specific to the area (Virginia Appalachian mountains), a mural depicting the history of railroads in my area, which was built around the coal mining industry, and the passenger trains that used to pick up and drop off passengers to big city and small town alike. The last of which made it's final trip through here in the 1950's. The office space is being used by the chamber of commerce.
Nice video! I had to chuckle about the same kid (wearing the orange BNSF hat), who always found a way to be in the shot. I think it's great that kids are curious about trains! Maybe some of them will consider a career in the train industry. Either way...I think it's great that they appreciate the hard work done on this massive layout, as well as appreciating trains as they pertain to American history.
+Chris Nelson - Wow! That's awesome. I guess that explains why he was in the shot a lot. I was thinking...this little dude REALLY loves trains! Well...I loved his video!

David Kelly Thanks - but that's the kid that runs and owns the train the camera is on. He's been doing HO since he was 3.

Very nice layout. Thanks for sharing.
Who built that model of the Twin Cities Zephyr? It is nice!
Too many visual and sound distractions from those attending open house.
