Nice job, something like that would have to take you at least six months or more to complete, so I'm assuming that you had some help to do it in less than that.

I think it's about all he could get in a basement and quite acceptable for a G scale indoor layout.

I should let everyone in on the "inside story "
About 3 weeks ago a good mrring buddy sent me the Wunderland link for a couple of reasons .
First , we were in the same local mrr club together for a couple of years ........the kind of club where 5 of the 35 members do most of the work while the others are conveniently busy with other personal things . He and I were chortling as to how long it would take to build Wunderland under similar conditions ........the guesstimate was several lifetimes ( maybe )
Secondly , he was wanting to join in my excitement of having my wife home for the holidays after 4 months in hospital . She has to go back this Monday but we got to share Christmas , my birthday , New Years and visits from freindly neighbours and well-wishers . Hopefully we can see the light at the end of the tunnel and Bonnie will be home to stay , very soon ........keeping my fingers crossed .
The Wunderland people have created a most amazing layout for folks to enjoy .

I will second that comment. Hope she gets better soon.

As for Wunderland I think that sensory overload would be the order of the day. Too much of everything.
How could you take it all in in one day? You would wake up the next day wondering if it was all a dream.

Thanks for the comments , guys , and since most of us have personal issues from time to time , I try not to think my situation is unique . Fact is , Bonnie has been ill for a year . During that time , I've neglected most of the stuff I used to do for myself ....layout hasn't been touched , no car races during the summer etc . I just can't concentrate although I will give my layout another look , soon . I need it for me .
