As in I'll let it speak for itself!
Hope y`all know what a "fiddle yard" is!? Please excuse me while I enjoy a momentary pause for my sense of AWE to kick in!

Wild! There an old computer supply under the lower deck that's probably powering the servos.
That's one way to squeeze more operating potential into your 4x8.

Ken, I think this is just a demonstration of his staging area for a much larger layout that will be on the other side of the wall. You can see where the tracks will go through the opening.

All I can say is "Whew!" and "WOW". Awesome job. You can really load up a yard there with all kinds of consists, and bring them out when you need them. Pretty sweet.
