Every man needs a hobby. Beware of some adult stuff along the train ride.

Very cool

So more specifically what is your hobby? Model trains, miniature/micro film production/recording or both? It's all very amazing. That layout is just incredible!!!

I think he meant that his wife thought HE had a strange hobby and this is someone elses hobby....I think this is someone elses, probably a 'local' hobbyist groups "museum"

Only if one of those two Firebirds is a 1969 TA Convertible. There looked to be close to a million dollars of equipment.

I think there is more than two Firebirds in that setup!! The dedicated warehouse alone......

But knowing the cost of architectural models....some of the 6' x 6' ones we did for developments would cost as much as $50,000!

There's millions of $ there....

Bjorn Sefeldt is correct. This is owned by a private train hobbyist, but he has turned his hobby in to a museum. This is the biggest train set in Scandinavia. I Found a YouTube clip from a German museum and that is amazing.
(I have a Marklin HO scale set on a 2m x 1m plywood in the basement, waiting for my grandchildren.)
