Notes:
A highly-detailed layout, where you can't hardly see the track! Includes HO-scale trains at the second level, and N-scale trains on the third level, to create a forced-perspective. He was the editor of the TCA's Train Collectors Quarterly. The dedicated two-story converted barn was really just a toy museum! The photos were taken in the late-1970s to early-1980s, so a good ten+ years earlier than the video.

The layout was set up to be able to be run in the "dark", so the remaining photos were taken in that mode.
