Do you have 4000 square feet of minis?

Bottom of page 1 of The Wall Street Journal today featured a story about train model.

From Sedona, AZ a real estate investor  Verryl Fosnight has a 4000 square feet worth of train model and an employee to take care of them.  ...Once a month he has an open house for people who want to operate his trains. 

Do you know any one who has this much minis for for their collection?

Neither do I! It sure would be fun to have a building big enough to arrange a bunch of houses and stores around a big train layout though!

Yes, indeed!

2000 square feet of minis? Wow! 

It's a full time employee who describes himself as " a model railroad super geek." 

I only have the paper, not the online membership for the article. 

Here are a few things I have found. It's HO scale.

Wow!  I prefer not to know just how much I have.  When I read, do you have 4,000 sq feet, my first thought was, probably, but thinking it out, hopefully not!

when my son in law encourages my hobby, I remind him, one day, this will all be yours!

Wow!  That is just pretty cool!  We have a model train club in my town and every Christmas season they have Open House sessions for the public to view their lay-out....which is tiny compared to this one!  It's going to take just two guys YEARS to get this lay-out finished!

We have an HO layout that is equal to two and a half sheets of plywood in an L shape. Seems pitifully small compared to this one but we love it. Love going to train shows and shops too.

I love my 1:144 beach house scene  and it's in a Spaghetti sauce jar.  So your set up is very massive to me.  There is a Lego land in the mall here that has a great train set up. My favorite was the house that appears to be on fire, it has red blinking lights and fire trucks around it.

Ah! Thanks for clearing that up. 

I checked out your gallery with the small roombox and the Rose shop. They are lovely. 

I still have a gallery? For some reason I thought I deleted everything. Maybe I just deleted the Hofco house.

But anyway, thanks! Now if I could just finish The Rose Shop.........
