The best part of this was that his wife supported him fully despite going millions into debt on a hobby... Most spouses aren't that supportive, it really shows how lucky he had it.... Also really cool set up

I've been there several times. It's absolute lovely, and the owner is so nice

I love miniatures. A place like this is amazing. Just try to imagine being able to ride any of those trains in a realistic, yet brand new expanse of mountains and plains. Sheer amazing.

And I thought I was so cool when I set up a train under the Christmas tree

I went to this place a bunch as a kid. One of my favorite parts of my childhood without a doubt.

I fucking loved model trains, ever since I was a child.

I've been there many times as a young child. This video brought me back through so many good memories

Oh I would love to see this. My brother and I had HO gauge trains throughout much of our childhood so I have always been fascinated with them. The Chattanooga Choo Choo used to have a layout of the trains of the city that I have a video of here on my channel.
