I have to agree with Todd, I was totally blown away when I saw those
pictures! I actually had to wait till I was more awake and look at them
again before I would believe what I saw. Just the layout display case alone
is fantastic, but the art work on the layout itself is just mind blowing.

I would really like to see some pictures of the details on the layout and
some more details on the controls you are using for the display.

Absolutely amazing Brian, great job!!

Happy New Year!
I've finally completed a new website showcasing my Lego train layout in • the
NW suburbs of Chicago (ocassionally refered to as GMLTC south).  You can
check it out at "www.royal-train.com".  There was a lot of interest when • I
managed to post a few of the pictures several months ago so email me if • I
can answer any questions.  I'll be adding to it over the next few weeks • so
check back periodically too.  Have fun!

Brian, this is the most incredible thing I've ever seen!  I can't imagine • the
amount of work that must have gone into hand-painting all those pieces and
setting up and photographing the displays.  It's totally beautiful.  My • jaw
dropped on almost every photo.  I love the banjo guys and the "Kathryn" • loco
the most!

An obligatory "shame on you," of course, for painting LEGO pieces, but --
dang -- it sure looks professional!

  The Royal Train - Controls
 
James, Thanks! This may take a while but I'll get some close-ups of the controls and mechanisms the next time I do a shoot. Everything is 9v with 4.5 wiring (boy did I get a deal when Dacta cleared-out 4.5v stuff) Turnouts are controlled by (...)
