Here's a really nice article on the lengths that some model railroaders go on not just their layouts, but their train rooms. It originally appeared in the Wall Street Journal in August 2020:

Great article, Thanks for posting Keith!
I'm a broker in NC and have come across a few houses with layouts in them...
Great read thanks for posting kinda reminds me of me and my basement train room/man cave 2000 sq ft all mine but I did spent the kind of money in the article I to cheap and did the work myself with the help of my loving bride of 38 years.
Very enjoyable article! I do believe a link to the same article was posted on an earlier OGR thread back in August. I'm sure that's where I saw it before. Then again I could be wrong.
Perhaps not as elaborate, my favorite remains the layout shown on the rear cover of Lionel's 1957 catalog.
Nice article - thanks. CTT covered Ed Dougherty's train layouts quite extensively in the 1990's.
Nice to see how it has turned out!
