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.
