N scale layout for sale on feeBay

So, I saw this by accident. Would be a brilliant layout to have.

And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be

Very nice layout.  :thumb:
The name is familiar to me, I'm very sure there was a write up on this layout in a Model Railroader mag some years back.
I even think it was the personal layout of one of the mags editors.

You are 100% correct capeklr  :thumb:

There is a book out : Building a Model Railroad Step by Step by David Popp. It is about this layout.
And here is the video : http://mrv.trains.com/layouts/layout-visits/2013/03/mrvp-layout-visits-david-popps-n-scale-naugatuck-valley

Very awesome :)

I might be getting older, but my memory does still work sometimes.
The more I was thinking about this now the more I remember this very video.
And the builders name now as well.

Yes, David Popp. It says so in the write up too. I remember following the building of it over the years. Great layout. Should be magic to operate. :thumb:
