    If you’ve ever wanted a Model Train layout and knew you did not have the time to build one the way you’ve dreamed it could be, well here is your once in a lifetime opportunity where you can buy this house and this AMAZING layout with the trains can be yours!
    With a write up in the 2018 “Holiday 2017” Edition of Great Model Railroads Magazine of “11 Remarkable Layouts” Pete Walton’s layout which we’re featuring is listed proudly in the magazine.
    Pete Walton shares his awesome H.O. Scale / Gauge Model Railroad train layout he calls “The Great Midwestern Railroad”. His travels are now taking him to another state and he’s going to sell the house with the layout and trains in tack to the next Care Taker, and it can be you.
    Pete’s built several layouts and had to take them down, however when he moved in this house in 2002, he made sure the house would have room for his passion, the trains. This layout designed to look like the 1950’s, which includes a farm scene, a city environment, bridges, mountains, and a Paddle Boat in the water.
    Every area on the layout is complete. The engines, cars, and scenery on the layout are of the highest quality, all add realism, and just a wonderful experience to view.
    The house is located on the Golf Course in the safe Del Webb Community in Huntley IL, and if you’d like to contact Pete you can contact him by e-mail at pblkwalton@aol.com
    This is just amazing!

    This is a golden opportunity for a true model railroader to come into as a turn-key operation. It does not get any better than this. But the new buyer/railroader should act fast because the home itself is a beautiful pearl of a home and will not stay on the market very long. It is a gem in a nice community. All Aboard !

    This is a real beauty and a labor of real love. I love to see the interesting and sometimes hidden details that people put on layouts like this which can be easily missed and can take many re-viewings to find. I especially appreciate the history involved in transporting building and scenes built many moons ago, it gives something extra to the layout. I sincerely hope the person who ends up with this appreciates it and is a care taker to such a wonderful piece of art.

If it was mine I'd spend all my time just sitting and staring at it and as I do with my little layout , imagine I'm walking down the street and greeting all my little friends.

There are some layouts that I'll do a 1 of 2 & 2 of 2 video, however the 2nd video receives very few views compared to the 1st so better to get it all in on one video (little RUclips tip for you if you ever do videos).

    Beautiful layout. A big layout is a dream and many folks dream along different lines. I am sorry you have to relocate and are going to loose the layout. I suspect it might not be something every model railroader wants as they might have different interests in prototype, free lance etc. Like beauty the dreams of model railroaders are in the eyes of the beholder. I truly believe you have built a master piece, thanks for sharing it.
    Camera work seems a bit off and I will blame the auto focus acting up. Not a knock on the usual good videos this layout visitor usually posts just something that did not get caught in time. Most videos do not have that issue, even so still a great video. Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us.

    First thing I thought was why move and give up your life's dream for your kids. They get tired of you really fast if they see you more than once a month. I have the best friends I could ever have but never see anyone more than once every few years. We text and talk on the phone maybe twice a week or month. That is enough for anyone I believe. Being too close to your family just invites them to start controlling and telling you how to live. I say keep a safe distance and don't give up your hobbies for them!

    it kinda depresses me knowing that, all these years and money spent and hard work and etc, that when he moves he is leaving it behind. it makes me think of myself if i was in that situation i cant even handle the thoughts. let alone him actually leaving it behind. Very strong willed. hopefully who ever takes over this appreciates model railroading as much as Mr. Walton.

    I got inspired by these videos and decided to use Google Earth, and my Carlson Survey software to create a full scale model in "AutoCAD dwg files" of the Bakersfield BNSF yard connecting to the SP line to Tehachapi (You know the one with the famous Tehachapi Loop) and ending in the Tehachapi yard (yes there is a small one there). It will be at 1 to 1 in the dwg file so I could print it out at any scale for a modal railroader to build. A builder could take any portion of the line and at what ever scale he is building and use it for his initial layout then build on to that any way he wants. I have the Bakersfield yard almost complete. It is quite a learning experience. Since the entire layout will be some 56 miles in length I am guessing no body would try to tackle the entire line in one layout, at O scale that would take space for about a mile and a half of track.

    Very impressive. I have a dream lmao. Have hundreds of track, trains and cars. No place yet to build. Working on building a new 2 story house to do the same. To build my dream and for my 4yr old to run after I'm long gone. I have a long time to go being 44. But only time and life will tell that story. My youngest son loves trains he plays all the time with his wooden one. Taking it apart building something new. His first train show at CMU. Central Michigan University. He won his first train set. Bachman Thomas the train ez track. So I have a piece of plywood laying up against the wall, when he wants to play I pull it out to set on kitchen table. Wife loves it. Not only because it gets in the way. But to see him smile so much is even better. So she doesn't mind. He already knows all about track switches and bumpers. Railcars box cars. He really good at controlling it keeping it on the tracks. Not to fast and not to slow. He will be part of the future generations of model railroads to come.

      Where was this house location? Likely, he has the money to get a new layout built in his new home. Everything looks professional built and detailed. Nothing was cheap, and lots of room to walk around. I would say this layout cost $400,000 if not more. When the new homeowners expressed no interest in the model train layout, he should have attempted to have it carefully dismantled for relocated to a local Train Club or even in storage.
