For your wish list...

It's impressive, but it's not my kind of modeling. The owner has nothing of himself on display except to claim to be the "inspiration." I call this sort of thing "trophy" modeling.

I prefer to display my own modest efforts...not to mention I don't have millions to spend that way, and I wouldn't if I did. Too many worthwhile causes that supersede that level of personal indulgence.

If I were rich - like that will ever happen 8-) - I might go so far as to hire someone to teach me the skills I lacked, so that I could go further in my own modeling efforts.

I agree, This hobby was built on making your own, doing your own layout. I wouldn't want someone to take it away from me to just run a train around the tracks...
