I love how the locomotive just misses the caboose.

 It's pretty funny, actually. But man, it just shows how much you can do with so little space in model railroading. 
-Steve
"A lot of modellers out there who go to these train shows see broken HO stuff and go, 'This is useless' when, in reality, they can still be used for modeling whether it's as a prop on your layout or a cool project to make something old new again."

seen that video a few times & if that Wig-Wag worked it would never stop swinging
one more car or a longer caboose the loco would hit

That's probably the world's only extended vision bobber caboose.
That building with all of the roof detail was really cool. It blurs the line between building and machine. I once worked for a data processing service bureau with a huge data center and the roof top was like that with pipes and vents and cooling units over the whole place. The same goes for the ADM corn processing facility in Clinton, IA.
Carpe Manana!
