Now THIS is a model railroad

I used to work with the guy that owns this property.

It's 7 1/2 inch gauge.

Pretty hardcore. Lots of hand tooled parts.

There's a boxcab kit than runs on a deep cycle battery that probably the cheapest powered unit available at around 3-400 bucks.

They have an open show and swap meet every year.

Talk about an expensive hobby!
