Hi, Thought I would share some of these pictures as these people spend years building these.
The trains are all built to scale from scratch, having to mould and cast there own parts. Pure dedication.

At least your camera won't blow up from too much steam pressure...

@ OP: Nice shots. Got more?

I was thinking the movie "The Jerk" :)

There are incredible creations! I love shot #3.

These photos take me back to my childhood. One of my school mates in PBG Florida had family that had track and trains in the back yard! Always wondered how long it took to mow the back yard and avoid the rails?
