Love the inter-room tunnels. Always wanted to do that.

This is cool... Takes a lot of dedicated time and work. I know a guy who lost everything to build one of these. It possessed him and took over every square inch he had available.

Very cool. Needed more street trash and bums hanging around the Greyhound station but, otherwise, awesome.

There's even spray paint graffiti on some of the walls, and a van!

Check out the parked white van below...

But you really need to view this vid on full screen.

Now there’s a wife who knows where her husband is every night.

I think part of what made it so realistic was the way the roads were done, weathering them, putting down puddles, etc.

I liked the close of of the human figure with the off the shoulder blouse and the ample booty!

Heh, if only Leftists would content themselves with doing trains like this, we could all get along!

Very cool. This place not far from me bills itself as the largest model railroad in the world:

I remember HO race cars but not trucks. I also remember them being slotted, with rails for the electricity...

I had a neighbor who had a similar layout. He devote an huge room in his basement. I used to come over and just watch. Many hours of railroad dream land for an 8 year old boy.

[sigh] I wish I had the time ....
