Talk about modeling!

I'm not that much into Narrow Gauge, but you are correct.  The detail and the vignettes was just unbelievable.  I especially loved the card game near the beginning. Top notch modeling craft.

In addition to being a fabulous model rr, I also enjoyed the music.  A great watch!

The Sundance Central'..  These guys are on the "Railroads Lines Forum".  Many excellent builders on there... Mostly HO and ON30.  But very good stuff.

Modelers imagination is remarkable.

Who the H has that much time on their hands - God bless - awesome 👍🏼

Top notch modeling. They are in Odessa Fl. just out of New Port Richey.

 In the early 2000’s I did some local train shows with some of these guys. We all had portable layouts as some may remember. Jon Addison was with the Gulf to Bay Modelers at that time displaying the Silverton Central. I can see his work on this project. https://www.finescalemodeling.org/meet-the-artisans

How about the cost $$

In $$ likely far less than a typical equivalent size three rail layout. Most of the structures appear to be scratch built. Plaster and stripwood would cost less than an unassembled kit or assembled structure. A few modelers I know who can create this level of craftsmanship have precision saws and make their own stripwood from from fallen limbs so material cost is nearly nil.

Cost in time is another matter.

Really nice modeling: in some areas it was hard to believe that it was not real!

That is awesome.  I really enjoyed watching that.  Great modeling.  Superb.

How many Fat Ones ..do you think it took to make that come to life......thanks for sharing...Wicked !

Comon man !!!!!!!!that is unbelievable .

"This 1:20.3 scale modular model railroad"  The larger size also adds to the illusions.  Fantastic modeling.  As far as costs goes its almost the same per square foot regardless of scale.  Don't believe me?  Figure how much stuff goes into a sq ft in N scale, then HO, then . . . .   Cost or time are never a concern of a true craftsman, only the QUALITY of the result, whether purchased or handmade!  Russ
