Here is the scale he works in (teaser)



One of the disappointments of my life's model train experience is that Lionel O gauge at 1/48 is not compatible with AMT/Revelle 1/24 scale.

Understandibly, Plasticville house parts are sized to be mid-way between O gauge (1/48) and S gauge (1/64)

Amazing. Inside the shop are the best, in my opinion. Way out of my league.

Other than PERFECT detail I miss seeing a figure of a mechanic leaning over and working. Could use a tire machine or combination machine also!

Have you seen the model railway layout, can't remember exactly where it is but I think it is in Germany. It is huge it even has an airport with planes taxing, landing, taking off, etc. Very detailed even a lady of the night sitting in a window advertising her wares. I think there is over 1 million dollars invested in it and still not finished.
