I have been looking at Bruce Williams' (owner and sole builder) work since he had the original in his basement. You have to appreciate the uniqueness of the miniature world. It is tongue in cheek. Any railroad purist will find much at fault, but it is the pure size and stretch that is the point. It is a Disneyland of model railroading. It has silly things like toothpick farms and Civl War Scenes included, but the overall experience is paramount. There is nothing else like it. At spoints the mountains are twenty feet, floor to peak. You cross bridges and look down into valleys. It is not a scale pike. The trains are almost incidental in facf albeit Bruce is a rail fan. I would recommend it simply as something unlike anything you've ever seen elsewhere. Kids might get antsy because it does take time to walk through. There is a dollhouse museum and a working theater organ in an actual theater. They usually have an organist at work, and it is a very pleasant respite and listening experience. If you like bridges and industrial buildings, there are extraordinary examples involved. But no weathering on the trains. It is not really a "Model" railroad; more a World's Fair exhibit, or Disney Creation. My advice is to give it a shot, although the entry fee is not cheap if you have a family. And the Flemington shopping area (Turntable Junction, dishware and glassware outlets, etc.) are very close.
