The layout and overall details on the railroad video are to be commended! The background scenery and the variety of train cars is exceptional. And then, there is the masterful banjo music....what a talent! I could listen to it for hours. Very well done!!!!

this layout is nothing short of a true work of art. the person who did this did it with thought and care. i think that this level of craftsmanship is a shining example to all of us involved in this hobby. i salute you sir.

hi mark, we are ready for the sequel!!!

[rhbeadlejr]

A very well done "model" railroad. I dislike O toy train layouts. At my age, I wish I had room for O. I have an N layout, but it is starting to get difficult to work on it. And my wife won't let me use the living room. Let's see; Wife or trains, wife or trains.

Fantastic layout, video, and music! I agree with the other poster, you should re-title this "Zartana" RailRoad. Other than that, I really enjoyed this!

This is one of the best train home videos I've seen.

I enjoyed the trains, scenery and music.

Very cool! Great layout.

This was featured in a recent article in O-Gauge Magazine. The music accompaniment (all instruments) was performed by the person who also put this video together. Great job all around. I like your use of everyday items and incorporating them into the layout.
