With what is claimed to be the world's largest private model railroad Ken McCorry lives just over an hour from me. Here is just 1 Google hit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IE_7VfFogc
Dump "Ken McCorry" in Google to see for yourself. In the 15+ years I have been going there he has changed eras a few times which means swapping out literally hundreds of locos and thousands of cars. I am pretty sure he has finally come back to transition era PRR where we all wanted to see it anyway! It is housed in a barn looking structure built just for the layout which is on the second floor. The first floor is a very large garage area for his classic cars and a lounge. While the layout is impressive beyond words the benchwork is also amazing. The levels vary greatly so there is easy access to see how the layout is supported. I got some strange looks during open houses. While everyone else was looking at the trains I was checking out cantilevered turnarounds without legs! According to Ken there is not ONE piece of pine in the whole place! Everything top to bottom is made from plywood. He ran it like a business buying complete skids of plywood. All cut lists were computer generated getting the best yield from the sheets. Everything was cut downstairs before the cars arrived. You can imagine the swarm of helper bees that would want to help build this monster. Ken said he had the majority of the benchwork up in a few months. Organization and efficiency at work!
