CRAZY!!! Wow that's what I call Passionate. Great picture.
very cool layout :)
This reminds me of a place that my Father would take us boys to when we were young, it was in another part of the city (didn't pay much attention back then) and as I remember is was on the second floor and the layout must have covered an area the size of a garage ( 24' X 24' I'm guessing) but a club of model railroaders ran the place and they actually had to have holes in the layout in order to fix things and the like..... It was huge ! What a great memory.
Now thats a layout !!! Holy crap!! ha ha :D
