- For episode 15 of the train store walk through series I visited the absolutely incredible Cornerfield Model Railroad museum & Trading post in Middlefield Ohio!!!
OMG I DIED AND WENT TO TRAIN HEAVEN! LOL
The layout Is O Scale 1:48, and measures 145’ long x 32’ wide! Its MAXIMUM TRAIN ACTION AT ITS BEST‼️‼️
#LARGEST #HUGE #TRAINS #layout #america
This place left me speechless, mind boggled and appreciating the O gauge hobby more than ever! Videos are great but you have to make the trip out here and see the layout & train store in person. It was truly an amazing experience and I will be returning here in the future for sure!

My dad was an engineer for the Southern Pacific out of Oakland, California for 46 yrs…He would have absolutely loved this layout , God rest his soul …..Thank you for the excellent tour.
There used to be a model train place in Emeryville back in the late '60's/early '70's. My dad took us there in '74. There's also a model train club in Pt. Richmond across from the beach. You should check it out.
As a person who has little interest in trains , especially model trains, I have to admit, this setup is pretty damn awesome. To the people who put this together, Bravo, your love for your hobby has created something pretty spectacular. ❤😊
I couldn’t have said it any better! Thank you!
agreed , never had an interest in model trains but i definitely understand the appeal , when i look at layouts like this i have this urge to just shrink down in size and explore it in person lol
i've been an n-scaler for 50 years- 40 years in as a club motor man- and i think these huge trains are awesome! compared to what i work on- there's almost enough room to climb right in there. as a kid- i can remember mac lowrey's 'railways of america'
o-scale display- mac used to yell at any kid that tried to touch something. this is a much more impressive display, but mac had a lot of scratch-made steam units that were really one-offs. thanks for posting this vid.
That set up is FANTASTIC. I loved every single thing….especially the little weeds around the tracks, just as in real life! AMAZING,
I know what you mean I get into sci-fi and fantasy modeling and while I would never build something like this I don't think, I can however appreciate just how much work goes into a scale model of this scale it's absolutely amazing
Makes me miss America, the way it used to be
Amen on that
Yes! Before the liberals screwed it up.
White and safe.
WOW, WE HAVE LOST SO MUCH HISTORY AND FUN TO PLAYSTATION AND COMPUTERS. IM LITERALLY GOING TO GET BACK INTO THIS HOBBY AFTER WATCHING THIS AND SOME OTHER VIDEOS LATELY. IM 50, BUT GOD, I MISS THE OLD DAYS OF BUILDING AND TINKERING.
I'm in awe if this museum thank you.
Thanks! The family I’m sure appreciates it greatly!
This entire setup is beyond astounding. The immensity, the detail, the sheer amount of work that was necessary to create this masterpiece, and the love for model railroading that had to fuel the entire venture. I feel a road trip coming up :)
Thank you so so much for posting. Absolutely amazing amazing video of our place!!
Thank you so much Elesh family!! Your O gauge railroad empire is nothing short of absolute perfection! This is a lifetime memory created and I’m 100% positive I’ll be returning in the future! Thanks again!
@@PghTrainFanatic THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
That is a train fanatics dream/ nightmare but very cool 😎 tons of fantastic detail work.
Thank you for allowing this video to be put on you tube can't wait to see it in person.
The amount of detail is insane! I wish I could go see it in person
If you ever are in the area make it a point to go!
It is ridiculous how good this layout is. Pure magic.
TK from PA
I'm in my 70s. Grew up on Long Island and was a Dodgers fan. My Dad used to take my sister and me to Ebbitt's Field a few times a year. Gil Hodges was my favorite player. To this day I don't know if I enjoyed the LIRR and subway both ways more than the ball game, or vice versa. Out on the island, the train was not elevated. So it was an awesome feeling having to climb the steps to get onto the train. Alll LIRR trains travelled through Jamaica Station. It was a major transfer point for LIRR going to or from Atlantic Ave, Brooklyn or Penn Station NYC. Those three stations were elevated, and you merely walked on the ramp to enter or exit the train. Upon exiting the subway in Brooklyn, you were immediately hit with the aroma (or smell depending on your likes or dislikes) of cigar smoke. We always sat on the lower level, first base (Dodgers) side. Sometimes we were lucky to get seats closer to the dugout, usually though we were behind first base - always aware of where the steel beams were supporting the upper level seats.
What does this have to do with trains? Pee Wee Reese, Carl Furillo, Roy Campanello, Duke Snyder, and Gil Hodges. Whether the Dodgers won or lost, I was okay with that, because I still had the Subway and LIRR trains to get back to home. And I had my own Lionel 027 guage trains set up in the basement. Those trains stayed with me until sometime in the 1990s when someone stole them from what I thought was a secure place in an open to the owners storage room of the co-op where I lived. Thinking back to when I realized they were gone, I can tell you that was a low point in my life.
My mission now is to travel from Scranton area to just a few miles past the Ohio/Penna state line and see this awesome facility. I may make it before the snows this winter, or I'll be there after spring gets here.
Two great oves in my life baseball and trains. Which one is better? My answer is this. Ask me which ABBA song song I like best, and I'll answer whichever one I am listening to at the moment.
Thanks for the nice comments and story you will be very pleased when you get a chance to visit!
I am 79 years old and I love always seeing this kind of setup it’s amazing piece of work.
Their is so much attention too detail in this set-up it's mind boggling. From a lady rocking in her chair, to men sawing wood, a outdoor movie theater with actual movie playing. It just doesn't stop amazing me. AWESOME job guys.
Amazing. I am 75 and I still enjoy trains. Thanks for the show. When I was young we would stop what we were doing, wave to the engineers and watch until the whole train went by...I took my first train ride at 5 years old with my 1st grade trip in 1951....
What a great story John! Thanks for sharing it! Allot of us model railroader had childhood experiences such as yours and it just becomes a lifelong passion for the hobby!
It's very rare these days with the Internet at our fingers, to see something you go, WOW, but this is WOW, the love and labour that went into this, just pours out, amazing, thank you for giving me 46 minutes of pure pleasure watching this on the over side of the pond.
WOW !! I’m very impressed indeed! 😮I’m gonna have visit this place this summer.
Totally awesome man! Growing up we could only afford a few Lionel box cars.
holy cow, the amount of time and money invested in that set up is impressive. I was like, man the light fixtures and electrical on the ceiling alone would blow my hobby budget out of the water. Super impressed with the devotion and passion to the hobby
You ain’t a kiddin! Lol. Seriously though they put their heart and souls into this place. Anyone who says otherwise is senseless
@Get on the cross and don’t look back fear of death much? Hope your oddball cult makes you feel good.
@Get on the cross and don’t look back FREAK WHY BRING YOUR BULL SHIT HERE? FORCING IT ON PPL! FOOL..YOU ARE A PHARISEE!!! SHOUTING FROM ROOF TOPS!
I’m ver impressed with the layout,it’s awesome well done
If this was sold at auction, I'd pay $1m+ for it. Currently, though, my best offer is $53.00, but I'm working on it.
This train town layout is truly unbelievably amazing. When I was a little girl ,I was told train sets were for boys . I always loved train villages and wanted to make one. You must be a railway engineer because this is a mind bobbling masterpiece. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Kim
As a little girl I too loved trains and still do.now my little boy is really into it and he is only 2 and a half 😄 ...its sad that boys and girls have to conform to sterotypes....just let everyone do their thing and enjoy
Don't let anyone deter you from what you love. It's your duty to grasp it and never let go! Just like this beautiful family! I'm glad he finally achieved his dreams and I'm so happy for him.
@kims2651 I loved electric trains when I was a little girl, too. I still do!! My older brother had a set of Lionels from the 1940s and 1950s and he was kind enough to let me play with them and run them. I have wonderful memories of those trains and those Christmases when we’d run them around the tree and my mother and I would set up a little village with those old putz houses. I used to love that wonderful smell of a train’s undercarriage after it had been running for a while. Precious happy memories.
LOL, I have to imagine that if there was a real town like that, the residents would be yelling to each other over the sound, “WHY DID WE BUILD SO MANY NON STOP TRAINS TO GO THROUGH THE CITY??!!” Love this train set!
super l'ami!, comme vous, j'ai gardé mon cœur d'enfant et on ne peut que s'émerveiller à chaque instant!, merci l'ami et un grand merci aux propriétaires de ce petit chef-d’œuvre!. le franchouillard de France.
Thanks so much!
@@PghTrainFanatic ben c'est la moindre des choses, quand c'est beau, c'est beau, et puis faut bien reconnaitre que les vrais hommes gardent et garderont leur cœur d'enfant, et à mes yeux, se sont les vrais hommes, ne changez rien l'ami et revendiquez-le!.
There's gotta be close to a million dollars tied up in that layout. Extremely impressive, great detail. This is officially on my list of places I need to visit.
I am speechless, incredible work of art, must take my grandchildren this coming summer, it'll be worth our 6.5 hours drive
That will be a memorable trip! Enjoy!!
@Get on the cross and don’t look back reported for spam
No matter how may times you visit this, I don't think you could ever absorb all of the displays. These folks have done an amazing job.
Menlo Park Ca. at the Caltrain station has a private train club with a nice track. Small compared to this but good none the less. Model trains are cool 😮 Good job ✌️🤘👍
Thank you for sharing that is so cool love anything to do with transportation my grandfather was a retired chessie system railroader and our small town in the mtns of West Virginia named hinton had a round house as well now it's all bin shut down but the memories are still plentiful
Wow 🤩 Thanks for sharing this video. Beautiful train set up.
As a youngster, I loved my O-Gauge Lionel Train Set and this so reminds me of true Americana. It's especially refreshing to see that there is still wholesome family hobbies that people engage in. America is a beautiful country contrary to what is shown 24/7 by the MSM and I am so glad that PghTrainFanatic channel exists. I subscribed and added a like even before I watched a second of content. God Bless these folks in Ohio for not only the preservation of but, the TOTAL involvement and dedication to build this layout, the likes of which I could not have even dreamed would exist! Bravo!!! And, keep up the great work as shown on this eye opening TH-cam Channel. Thank You.
Looks like Cleveland....Absolutely AWESOME. It looks like you could spend a whole day there and still not see everything. This is really a work of art and Obviously a work of love by these folks.❤
Great experience, at moments i forgot it was a diorama
I’ve never seen anything like it. I love trains and especially at Christmas. Thanks for sharing.
I’m an Erie-Lackawanna guy from Jersey. Happy Holidays and again thanks.🎁🎁🎁
I always like seeing model railroad displayed.
The attention to detail and scale of this train set is mind blowing!!
What is the Insurance value of this collection?
Simply amazing, I cannot imagine how much work it requires to keep all of this operating. Thanks, great job!
Thank you!! I’m sure this is a full time job!
imagine dusting that all too
I could live here and NEVER be bored a day in my life...
Wow wow wow is only thing I can think of
Thanks so much for this video. I am reminded of my father's gift of a Lionel layout in Cleveland in 1952. His two boys were delighted. Their layout may only have measured about six feet by four feet but your video brought back the innocent delight of model trains. Thanks again!
I'm not usually into trains, but who can resist this? The detail was phenomenal.
I’ve never looked at a train video ever, but I totally agree with you…this is phenomenal!
The detail is incredible; smoke from the smakestacks; you name it. Just incredible! 🚂 🚃
So much to see and just loads of fun!
Heading there next week- can’t wait!
Need to add a camera on one of the trains running the whole layout. Thanks for the show.
Thank you for posting this video. You did an excellent job filming everything so carefully. And taking the time to move slowly through the sections of layout. Giving the viewer the time needed to take in all the wonderful aspects of the layout. Bravo!
My grandfather was a porter on VIA Rail for 29 years, Joseph Dejean. When he passed in 1980,VIA gave our family 5 lifetime train passes ,learning of his life on the trains ,and my dad love of the hobby got me into model trains. I gave it up and went into comics in my late teens. This video has sparked up that interest again. Thanks and God bless you for sharing this incredible display of a deep love for a wonderful hobby.
Incredible!
Can’t stop smiling watching this incredible detail and the time that is has taken to set all this up.
Thank you!
So nice to see how you have honored your great grandfather and through you tube you have shared it with the world. We hope the Shriner's Hospitals and St. Jude in Memphis can share it with their patients as well. And the seniors in the world's nursing homes too. We look forward to seeing it in person too! Our family thanks your family for sharing it here with us also. Enjoy and may peace and balance reign somehow in a world that needs them so very much.
Amazing, Thanks for posting this.Thank god some people still have a passion.
Thank you very much! Some people left negative comments all because my daughter and I were excited the entire time talking about this amazing display!
This complete layout is sensational, thrill-seeking extravaganza. Soo amazing to see such perfection in its, overall format. What visionary expertise underway for new generation. Past , present, also the near future.
This is a truly impressive construction. Somebody put their heart and soul into this.
At the same time, I was thinking if this was a real city could you imagine trying to sleep at night?
Lol yeah you would be sleep deprived for sure! It is crazy to think how much work this took!
This is AWESOME!!! I'm far from an enthusiast but this display is truly extraordinary and something the builders should be very, very proud of.
Very cool! I even saw the Bat-mobile in one of the towns. lol Thanks for sharing this.
Lol yep Batmobile and Herbie the big. I’m sure there’s many other recognizable cars too. Thank you!
Walking into this place is a step back into a dream childhood. Who doesn't love trains? Well worth a trip with the grandkids or any old kid at heart!
Not enough words to describe how awesome that train layout is. Thank you for posting this incredible video.
Truly amazing. Not just for its size but for the scenery also. And its so clean! All the buildings, trains, automobiles, and streets look like they were just placed. Roadside America was a huge display but its dwarfed by this one. Thanks for the video.
Incredible tribute to the awesome ability of this family and the detail provided by Lionel. This display isn't exceeded anywhere in the world. It takes your breath away in every way!
Love listening to the guys chuckling!
Fantastic display but imagine having to dust that display 😮😮😮
Gobsmacked at the sheer scale and epic amount of detail on this! Can't begin to imagine the time and cost involved to create it...let alone maintain it.
My uncle, not the kindest person in the world but family nonetheless RIP, introduced me to the model HO gauge train world and models in general. Trains were always at the forefront of his mind while I knew him. He had many hobbies before I was in the picture; aquariums, legos, guitars, and k-nex were among some that he collected and organized vehemently. His HO scale setup was the most impressive modeling I've seen in person by far. Originally starting in his garage in Lansing, Iowa, he ran Chicago, Champaign, and Southern, a line beloved by his fellow enthusiasts and peers. This line eventually moved down to Rockford, IL during the last years of his life, and later he passed in 2016. His attention to detail was second to none, no stone left unturned, no dot of paint wasted, no grass without purpose. He custom built and painted his diesel and steam locomotives as well as his passenger cars and freight lines. The walls of his facility were adorned with murals of bright nature reminiscent of a mid-west US afternoon. The smell of the room was a dangerous enticement, as if 1000's of packs of Magic the Gathering cards were opened at once or as if a Barnes and Noble had burnt down. While the man was not my favorite person in the world in terms of temperament and egotism, he instilled in me a deep love for all things built by hand, crafted with the soul. The part of him that I love lives on forever in the art of the craft. Thanks for uploading your vids of all types of model trains and things, it really has brought back some deep feelings and memories.
Thanks for sharing that very nice story about your uncle!
I seen a lot of model railroads but nothing as magnificent as this in my life.This layout is absolutely beautiful.
Yeah this ranks at the top of my lists for layouts that’s for sure. So many things happening on this layout!
Love the Hallicrafters ad at 5:00!
This place is amazing! Something to see in person.
It will blow you away in person lol
@@PghTrainFanatic Been there but it was before the lock down and I know They all work really hard on it adding thing and trains. The whole family are good people. Going back soon! Depending on gas prices. It is quite the drive for me. Thank you for posting this video.
Yeah they are a very nice family! Glad you enjoyed the video, Thanks again!
Incredible display! I can't even begin to imagine the hours and dollars invested. Unbelievable! Thank you for taking the time to share this video!
As a kid who grew up in the '50s, Lionel was a major part of my life. But to see actual scale reproductions running on Lionel three-rail track is just awesome (as opposed to foreshortened trains obviously chasing their tails!). One can feel the love these folks have for this wondrous hobby. It would be interesting to know how planning took place on a layout this extensive. One really has to have the imagination of a city planner to even begin to conceive of the process.
Pretty magical that you arrived during snowfall as model trains are such a part of traditional winter Holiday Seasons. Must, must, must see this in person! But, until that time, thank you for your well shot video with its extensive tour of each nook and cranny. Bravo!
This looks like Guinness material....They're electrical bill must be a fortune !...
"I'm impressed" would be an understatement...I've never seen such attention to detail IN ANYTHING let alone hobby railroading !
Did anyone notice the working crossing gates and "end of track" bumper posts ?...TOO COOL FOR WORDS !!!
Hi thank so much for the kind words!! I agree they r created Something here for the record books! I’ve watched my own video of the place now countless times and I see Something new each time I look. Thanks again!
Nick-
You can check out Wunderland in Hamburg. Thats the current world record holder as far as i know. Comparision is a bit unfair though since that one has 300 employees.
@@Nephale the wunderland is also at a much smaller scale than the trains and figures in this layout
On Monday afternoons. Cable RFD tv,. A show:. I love trains ❣️! Great TV program !!😊🚂
Unbelievable and fantastic!!!
Absolutely mind blowing! What an amazing accomplishment.
I'm not even a train hobbyists but I was so amazed at the fantastic detail that was put into this display I was totally blown away I ended up watching the whole video thanks for sharing.
That’s fantastic! Thank you! Did it make you want to get into the hobby? That’s the real question!? ☺️
Quite the place! I see this being added to our bucket list! And of course, Unstoppable has to be playing at the drive-in! Love it!
Wow, this is a really beautifully built layout, (Talk about Big!!) the turntable and roundhouse area is packed with the best locomotives that Lionel makes, Legacy, VisionLine, simply the top of the line products. The scenery is amazingly done, colorful, realistic, and a true three D work of art. We spent three hours at this hidden treasure in April of 2023, and Mark Boyce and others were supposed to meet with us, but things came up. My wife also loved seeing the trains run flawlessly. PGH Train Fantastic, beautiful video, thank you so much….Happy Railroading Everyone
I can't even wrap my head around the hours needed to build this, much less the expense involved. The maintenance has to be non-stop too. Truly a great set up.
Thank you so much. You brought back memories from the 60’s where a close family friend had his place covered in tracks. The tracks went around most of the rooms except the kitchen and the bathroom. If there was a door, you could expect a train to cross that doorway. To enter or exit a room, you had to duck under the tracks. Of course, it wasn’t anything like this. Sadly he passed and I never saw the train sets again.
Wow thank you! I bet that had to be really cool! Sounds like my basement 😂
His kids probably threw his trains in the garbage
@@nomadicmonger9455 no, I spoke to his daughter after seeing this and she has his trains stored in her house. She’s hoping that maybe some of the grands or great grands of his will take an interest.
Awesome work! Must take a lot of time to maintain! I'd love to see a video of that process as well!!!
Thank you for posting this, and Thank You to Corner Field Hobby for allowing this to be on TH-cam. The amount of detail, pride, work, and love you all poured into this layout is fully evident. Extremely well done.
My wife just told me that we'll be making a road trip soon to see it live.
Thank you very much!!
This thing is amazing... Admiring from Melbourne, Australia.
Thanks for watching! It’s crazy how much work they put into it! Not to mention the cost
I just toured to Cornerfield Train Museum with you! Thanks for your audio comments along the way. What an amazing collection and creation they have there. I just added it to our next vacation trip!!!
Actually this is Glenn commenting, but my wife Jan enjoyed the tour and the layout just as much. Were both looking forward to our visit!
Thanks for the nice comments and compliments on the video and their amazing layout! You won’t be disappointed when you see it in person. It’s amazing!!
Absolutely fantastic. This family is extraordinary.
I remember getting a train set for Christmas when I was a kid. Loved it!! Years later I made a friend who loved model trains even more than I do. He had this sweet layout with a few trains and a cool scene. This video brings back those memories and then some!!!!! Mezmorising!! 🙂😥
Mesmerizing
It's amazing and spectacular...😊...we have such in the Nwtherlands located in Madurodam...it consist of trains, airports with planes, houses and buildings and with vehicles dri
Driving in streets and highways...😊
Thank you very much for allowing me to join you! If it wasn't for you I would never have seen such an awesome layout! I am subscribing to your channel as we speak!
Thanks so much Mike! I’m planning many more trips like this one!
@@PghTrainFanatic Can't wait for next one!
wow! this is special. my grandfather would have loved to see this.
Thanks so much!
Absolutely amazing place & video it took my mind off of all the crap that's going on in the world, I've been homeless for 4 years 8 months 17 days 16 hours just got a home the first thing I want to treat myself to is a nice collectors train set to celebrate my freedom, thank u for this video, & especially the family that owns & runs this Lionel train shop store it's saved my life with a positive attitude on me & I thank you so much.
this is truly incredible...I am 80 years old...grew up in Euclid, Ohio....my father loved Lionel trains...my brother and I had a train layout (my father was always adding accessories to the layout) ...my brother had the Santa Fe locomotive...I had the Union Pacific locomotive, etc. I would love to see the "control room" for the Cornerfield Model Railroad...thank you for sharing this "layout" with us...I just cannot imagine the hours upon hours to construct this layout...wow...
It’s amazing! I let was my first time there so it was all new to me!
Thanks so much for watching and for your great childhood story! I think next time I go back I want to ask to see the control panel area and ask some questions about maintenance and see what it takes to keep a layout this huge going!
This is the most phenomenal layout I've ever seen, absolutely pristine and spotless. It looks like it was just completed yesterday. The one question which kept popping into my head was, "Who has to dust all this?""
sure would be a shame if there was a massive fire and it all burned to a crisp. sure would be a shame
@@michaelmagic988 why would you even say that? Must be a Democrat.
@@LiberalsArePoop lol. My money's on some GQP zealot.
I thought the same thing! Too pristine to not have someone do it regularly.
If you are impressed by this one, check out the one in Germany... This is so fascinating..
This is an astounding achievement! This is my favorite type of layout, and you did an excellent job putting the video together to show everything. Going in, even when the dimensions were mentioned, I thought how is there enough that it needs a 45-minute video? But there were two amusement parks, a nature preserve, two baseball parks, and countless cool city scenes to discover. Plus, I have never seen that complicated of a working roundhouse. One of the carousels in one of the amusement parks is very beautiful. Yes, I watched the whole thing!
Thank you very much for the kind compliments! I think it took me over an hour just to go around the layout one time! 😂 and I watched the video several times and I see allot of stuff I missed while I was there. This family really outdid themselves! Thank you again!
Nick-
@@PghTrainFanatic at 10:09 again you called the (bump & go / end-to-end running) self-reversing TRAM - a trolley.
I was thoroughly amused though - that you absolutely MISSED the rooftop helicopter (on the roof pad of a smaller sky-scraper)
Easily seen with it's rotor spinning at 10:18
Ah but hey - with so much fine detail to contend with - missing something was always on the cards - plus "trains" was the theme for this, wasn't it.
They are called bump and go trolleys. They have a self recersing mechanism built into the trolley. It’s not a tram lol. Yeah I missed that one with the helicopter. I also missed a swimming pool behind the hotel toward the beginning with a bunch of chicks wearing skimpy bikinis lol
They've also recreated/referenced some local businesses which makes for fun "Easter egg" hunting so to speak for locals who come in.
A good example is Honest Scales around 17:33.
The most enjoyable part for me was Dad and Daughter both giggling like little kids, treasured moments for you both, just as I have of going to Buhl Planetarium as a child with my Mum and Dad at Christmas to see the layout.❤❤
Thank you James! We honestly were just giggling in awe! I grew up going to the buhl also and then taking my daughter to the science center in more recent years s she grew up. It’s a Pittsburgh tradition for many! This place is only about 1 1/2 hr drive and totally worth it!
Still get a tear in my eye when I hear an old train in the night.
AMAZING ! What a layout, what a precision, what a detail...! It's crazy, wonderful ! I'm French and love American railroad for so long and I'm totally amazed with this incredible setup. (just a little review, the buildings seem too new and clean and would deserve to be a little aged, like the Keystone one, to be more realistic again. I know, it would be very long...!)
wow, that's amazingly huge. One would never stop with operating this layout. Amazing scenery too
They’re spoiled with fun everyday lol
I really enjoyed this presentation and the store! I want to tell you some personal feedback: 1) you have a nice, friendly laugh that I enjoy 2) when you started the tour, your description was mostly technical - "crazy", "nuts", "wow", "crazy", etc. About 20 mins into the tour, you actually became giddy and drawn into the absolute imagination that these wonderful displays invoked within you. This change in tone and 'experience' is a great shout of praise for the creators of this great family experience! Thanks.
America's true pride,O gauge model trains, amazing
Wow it's amazing, it's the most beautiful model I've seen until today 😍🤩🥰
Congratulations on this work, I can't imagine how many hours days it took. Excuse for my english.
Greetings from Switzerland. Have a good day.
This layout is overwhelming! Thank you for such a well-narrated and very well edited video. This will be a must-see for whenever I get close to Ohio. This coming from an N-scaler! 🙂
The detail is amazing and almost overwhelming. I would like to see a video showing how they maintain their exhibit.
This is crazy! The time gone into this is insane, thanks for sharing as im in Australia and never would have seen this otherwise!
I have been an avid user of TH-cam from it's beginnings and this video is my favorite video I have ever viewed on TH-cam.
That is so nice to hear! Thank you very much and I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😊
That's one helluva retirement.
Dang! That is quite an impressive layout! Lots of action and details. Thanks Nick for showing off this extraordinary layout!
It’s amazing!! Thanks John!
This is amazing! When I was younger I went to the Novi Train Expo, here and MI and seen a Lego version of New York (still with the tower) and that has nothing on this! Wow! This is definitely on the list of trips of next year. Thank you!
This is a living portrait of AMERICA!
This details why we are the greatest nation in the world!
GOD BLESS the owner/artist who built this.
This is a Smithsonian museum level exhibit!
All the work ...detail..
One super layout...MONEY!!!!
WOW! This is beyond incredible! Great video! Thanks for sharing this!
The miniature baseball field looks fantastic!
Yes is very impressive!
