I don't believe that Mindheim is the subject of this post. I merely mentioned it because Lance brought this up in his blog in 2013. So what if its a model of model. Who cares. There are several versions of the LAJ floating around as there are Tehachapi Pass layouts. Mike's work is good and not overly done. Maybe this is a take off on Joseph Kreiss's "Big Island Railroad" based on a Hawaiian theme or possibly Mike lives in Florida. I find it refreshing that people are modeling different locales rather than the normal west coast or Midwest city scenes that seem to be what MR Magazine lean towards.
Layouts by George Sellios and Rod Steward are nice, but its easy to get caught up in too much detail where the trains are secondary to the detail of the structures and the action that is happening around them.
