This layout is amazing and I'd love to meet the guy who built it seeing that North Oaks is just a few miles from my home.

A derailment could be messy!!!! Kinda cool...
I have watched this video several times and admired his beautiful installation. I also share ANCDave's fear of derailments. I would love to see it too, Matt.
There's an email at the end of the video. I'm sure you can get the info you seek.
His other video allows a better angle to appreciate it.

I have seen this before too and wondered myself since I am from MN where toy trains are not a huge hobby by any stretch in any scale, but especially in O. So I have always been curious. North Oaks is known to be a pretty wealthy area and that looks to be a nice house so my guess is some executive.
Really nice installation. It reminds me of the other one posted a few months ago in that nice house with the beautiful backdrop painted on the wall. Just really clean.
Thanks Matt, this is awesome and well done. At Disney World, Orlando,Florida, in the store, "Once Upon a Toy", there is an overhead layout that goes around and through the store that You should see....Its larger than G GUAGE, and the store is huge.
This O Gauge Ceiling layout is really cleverly displayed and nicely done. There are a lot of Creative Modelers out there....Wow...Where "O"Where is it?
Awesome job, but I would hate to have to clean it.
"Ceiling" layouts are necessarily also "stepladder railroads".MY last one, at our mountain cottage, built in 1992 was dismantled in 2008. It had 5 14x32 tracks ,three at 9'-0" above floor and two at 7'6". Due to age and health issues I could no longer effectively maintain it or easily change heavy power units[Challenger,etc]. But in 15 years i never had one to derail and go down--protected by 1/8"x4" plexiglas fence.
Powered for a long time by 3 pw ZWs , last couple of years by five 180 watt PoHos for operating TMCC and Conventional on the handheld via TPCs.
Amazing.
