    I'm in Elmhurst IL on 7/2/23 viewing and videoing the Elmhurst Model Railroad Club display features a HUGE H.O. Gauge scale train layout.
    Most areas on the layout are nicely detailed. The engines, cars, and scenery on the layout are of high quality. Many items are custom and hand built.
    This is just a wonderful experience to view.
    The Elmhurst Model Railroad Club is located at 111 E. First St. Elmhurst, IL 60126, and the web site is www.emrrc.org
    Enjoy!

    I can't remember how long it's been since I saw an actual caboose.....I do remember being a kid and running to the tracks so I could wave to the engineers and guys in the caboose.....
    And maybe, get them to toot the horn a couple times...
    Thanks for the memories, Lou.

    The most enjoyable part of taking a train is the beautiful passing scenery and Elmhurst Model Railroad has all of it.

    Wow! What a layout! The HO scale train sets were always my favorites! They look so authentic, minus the graffiti on the train cars. This is a change of pace from the awesome cars you run across. There's a lot of work involved putting a layout together like this one here in Elmhurst, Illinois. The state of Illinois has a lot of railroads throughout the state. A great state to go train spotting! Cars and trains are my two favorite things! Thanks Lou!

    Incredible layout, lots of detail and action. My favorite part was the drive in movie scene with an actual working screen, I wonder how that was pulled off, never seen that down before on a layout. Great video Lou!

    Evening, Lou -
    I think this was how I discovered your channel way back when - searching one night for H.O. gauge trains.
    Some of my best memories, my Dad introduced me to model trains Christmas of 1968. Was just a basic H.O. on a piece of 4' x 8' plywood, a few buildings, and so on. (He might have been more excited than I about the whole idea?)
    I really wish I had more room these days, I'd probably start building up another set - but, as if I have some more "Spare" time!
    Take care, and thanks...

    ¡Esto es, sin lugar a dudas, un sorprendente diseño en maqueta de ferrocarriles! Es como un micromundo a escala, por la cantidad de detalles que contiene. Podría quedarme ahí horas observando y relajándome. Solo mencionaré, en el minuto 9:07, un Hot Dog/Wienermobile, como el que nos mostraste hace unas semanas atrás, y en el 22:25, hasta un autocinema presentando una película... ¡Excelente video, Lou!

    I've long thought that given money is not a factor the ideal space for a club layout would be a dis-used Big Box store. This would allow sufficent space between towns/industries etc that when switching out freight cars, stopping at passenger stations or other activities that relate to the things real railroads do your not having the end of the train stopped in the previous or next town. In adition freight yards could be built to scale. These take up a lot of linear space. Also curves could be of realistic curvatures. A layout set in the mountains could have generous elevation differences in the scenery. Of course building such a layout would take years.
    1mile in HO is 60.6 feet
    1 mile in N scale is 33 feet
