Hi Eric,
Very nice site. I really liked all the detail you put into the train
station. The trash spilled on the ground was very realistic. And I loved
your trees. The whole thing was very creative.
Thanks for sharing it with us,
Adam

Ditto to that! Plus, I'm really loving that shunting locomotor:

I don't know what the real thing looks like, but that is certainly a unique
looking unit. Very tasty!

That's the only part of the whole thing that I **don't** like... :-)
I just gotta say, and I think I've alluded to this before, this diorama
really gets me all hot and bothered. Models are great, be they buildings
or rolling stock or scenery... but when all the pieces are in place,
down to small details like moving the pop machines outside, the spilled
trash, the railings on the down-stairs, the flaking stucco, etc. it
really brings the whole thing to life.
We have seen dioramas before but this one is the best train diorama I've
seen. It even tops GMLTC stuff because it has so MANY details at so many
different levels. GMLTC is impressive due to sheer bulk, and there are
lots of things to find, you can stare at it for hours and not see it
all.
But in terms of details per square inch, and realism factor, this truly
is the acme, the ne plus ultra. So far.
Way to raise the bar, Eric.

Thanks for the close looks and praise from all of you, but this remark even
tops my blush factor..
Because of the enthousiastic responses, I plan to add some pics of
prototypes so you who don't know the Dutch railways can see the real thing.
Although it will probably show you where I failed to model them correctly
:-)

He's got alot of other nice models too. And the pics of legoland airport are

As someone who likes attention to detail, I have to agree. I've spent about an
hour looking at the details in this diorama. I especially like your attention
to the window treatments. The use of lamp posts in a new way is also very
interesting. And I like the added details on your sloped roof.
Great job!
