Dave, I've seen Dan's B&O "S" scale layout during the NASG Baltimore Convention. It is a perfect layout for the space. It is not overly complicated yet portrays the feel of the B&O as soon as you enter the room. If I remember correctly Dan has a mountain scene with a tunnel, a yard, and a two track mainline. Most model railroaders never get close to what he has already accomplished. I believe Dan was just commenting on how much work he still has to do to complete it. I suspect most of what Dan has accomplished was a solo effort, and that Dan's standards are relatively high. Dennis H. Northern Jersey
