This is a HO scale structure built by the builders of Gulliver’s gate Trinity church downtown Manhattan.

The detail is awesome.

Three decks high and two big lobes. Covers most branches of the LIRR. The passenger service is fun but the freight trains dodging them is a blast. Two dispatchers represent Jay and Divide Towers. I have operated with 16 people at once on this one. A lot of fun.
