When engineer Bruce Chubb built his model train set, he had to build a house just to contain them. He started when he was 4 years old, and it now requires 2 dispatchers to run them (first photo is one of the two dispatcher stations). People come from many states to see it and use the wireless radio controls to drive them.
I find it strange how model railways (roads) are so different on opposite sides of the Atlantic. I model in the UK in O gauge (7mm to the foot) and we tend to have far less track packed into a layout and (no slight intended) go for a more realistic viewing experience (not saying one better than the other - just very different). Here are a few shots of my own rolling stock on various iterations of our club layout.

Nice images Robert. If you ever get near Detroit and want to see the Train Display at The Henry Ford at Christmas just drop me a line. I often have passes.
For any train lovers in the mid-west I can't say enough about the Christmas display at the Eiteljorg in downtown Indianapolis. One of the most awesome train displays ever with re-creations of many of the National park Lodges and national land marks.
