I've met three types of model railroaders over the years. There are the
guys who are so completely focused on prototype operations that their
scenery is mostly cardboard buildings and green spray paint, but their
trackwork is immaculate and they have totally prototypical operating
sessions; then there are the guys who are, like this guy, completely
focused on phenomenal scenery and running trains is just something to do
through that gorgeous scenery; and then there are those that balance both.
That's more where our club falls.
I don't have the skills or the patience to accomplish what that guy did.
Eventually I'll have a small N scale layout at home to give me an option to
the HO stuff we run at the club.
