It took him 21 years to build his giant model railroad

Описание: Inside a Menomonee Falls basement, more than a dozen trains snake through tunnels, trees, and towns in a near-perfect scale replica of a Pacific Northwest railroad. It's bigger than most home models you will ever see. The average size for one is about 64 square feet. This is 600 square feet.

“This is a very contagious type of hobby. The more you do it, the more you want to do," Robert Jordan, the yardmaster of this model railroad, said.

Jordan built a scale replica of the Cascade Division of the Great Northern Railway in his basement. In fact, he actually bought the home in 2001 because it had the space he needed to build the railroad to the size he wanted. It took him about three years of custom lighting and electrical work before he could lay the first tracks down.
