The gentleman's name is John Kosma and all of the structures on the layout are cardstock.  It's quite impressive.

If you click the link to the website, there is a video of a Trainfest layout.

Have you seen the fabulous traction layout that is always on display at Trainfest? I think he has used a lot of cardstock models too. Mabe someone else knows the name of it. It shows how much you can do in a very narrow space.

That sounds like a fun project!

I wish I would have known about Clever Models when I was making all my photo-diorama photographs.

Interesting stuff.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!

Track Plan Alexander Traction Company - S scale 42" gauge DC using HO code 83 track 

Plan drawn in XTRAKcad with PECO #5 and #6 turouts but will be built with  with  Walthers #4 and #6.  I have laid out plan with paper templates on benchwork to confirm Walthers turnouts will work.

All structures will be card models

All equipment will be modified CLEVER critters card models. Locos  and Interurbans on Bachmann mechanisms 

Non operating ovehead wire but am thinking I might model 3rd rail instead in yard and on mainline to Mooresville 

 

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.
