OT: Anyone do model railroading?

[gef21]

Dude, I just went to a customers house to look at their leaking basement window yesterday. The entire basement was a scale model train set. I'm talking he had Penn Station, NY and Philadelphia, a figgin circus with working ferris wheel and rollercoaster. It was entirely in a 50's era trainset. The thing was massive and so unbelievable my jaw dropped.

Yeah some of the stuff people do is insane. I have to say mine looks really good, about half way done with my project, but some people are at an entirely other level.

I have a pretty big HO scale set up but would love to have a physical store to go to when needing things. I have all of my fathers stuff, and order online, but I would love to purchase from a local business in NJ.

Anyone have a store they recommend?

I used to do it, but then I turned 13 and got into girls.

Dont think my wife would be happy if I was still running around chasing girls.

Colorado is great for trains Gef.
I love taking the train to Zermatt from Zurich.

Don’t go climbing the Matterhorn, we may never hear from you again.
