That is on the one line in Wales that I have not been on!

Are you talking about Aberystwyth in mid Wales? When just out of college and backpacking in the early 70's, I went to the 'Land where trains go everywhere' and found myself to be in 7th heaven. To me, Wales was this vast scenic area that I wanted to explore, so I started knocking on 'To Let' doors, found a place to stay in Shrewsbury, then, using my pass, took the train one day to Aberystwyth and discovered the jaw dropping natural scenery of Wales... then I took another spectacular trip along the absolutely eye popping coast to Pwllheli. Wow I thought! The world needs to see this... or maybe not; nice and local... they don't need to be overrun with tourists

Wales has stunning natural beauty!

OMG! Absolutely amazing... and didn't even think that Sir Rod Stewart was part of our large community of RR enthusiasts! I did model railroading when in high school... but after leaving home to go to college, I never got back into it... too much 'stuff.' Unless one gets grabbed by the passion.

Thank you for passing this along... this set is above and beyond any RR model I've ever seen!

BTW the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago also has a huge working set. It's certainly a lot of fun to see what's out there!
