Hats off to those modelers!

The detailing is top notch!

Thanks for sharing that URL with us, it is saved it in my Favorites.

I agree with JEP . no big sweat eh?? I guess this must be what we all strive for, so there is a bit of difference from this, to just sticking together some shiny red plasticville buildings and plonking them down all over the layout with some gumby-like figures, this can be truly an art form as shown by the photos. great stuff !!

The larger scales do have advantages...

Agrees...

Homina-homina-homina...

Even the dirt on the shop floor looks real!

This is the first I've heard of Chuck Doan, and I hate him already.  I may just have to hang up my railroad pin-covered engineer hat after seeing this.

They even make black cats in O scale?

I've always thought that if space weren't an issue, 2 rail O would be the way to go...

Chuck Doan is a fantastic builder. I can't wait to see his tractor diorama finished.  He's got some great pictures of his work on his Fotki page.

OK I quit, give up, whatever, I will never be that good and I ain't bad!!!! The only thing that gives it away is the roof cutout, would never be done that way in real life and the thickness of the tin is visable but your average person (not modeler)  would never!!!!!!!!!!!!! notice.

Respect is due to someone here! That middle photo of the broom leaning against the shop machinery - I had to look at that one three time before I realised it wasn't real.

Like someone said the larger scales (if done well) really take some beating.

[cpeterson]

that is just amazing....definitely gives something to strive towards

Yes indeed! Is that live or is it a model. That level of detail is what inspired me to model in the larger scales. They take up much more space but for me it's worth it.  

[MidlandPacific]

That's very nice work.  I never appreciated what could be done in O scale until I saw the Canandaigua Southern.  It can be impressive.

WOW!!!! With better lighting in some of those shots, it would really be hard to tell. The ties are the best I have ever seen. If they were to take those shots outdoors..............

[loathar]

HOLY CRAP!!! I'd like to take lessons from those guys. That's AWSOME!!!

I was debating if it this was 12":1' gauge.  Turns out it's O scale
