Looks like the gentleman did a great job with the display, although I’d have like to have seen more close-ups.

Love it! That's my kind of diorama!

One day I will post my Waterloo diorama in 54mm and about 1500 figures.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I'd love to do something similar someday.

Interesting question ... How does one move the pieces that are out of arms reach ?

Good question...
I have a friend who is into HO trains and has made an enormous display in his "finished" basement. The length is about 48 feet and varies between 9 feet to 12 feet in depth at some points. So how does he go in and change or fix what is in the middle? :rolleyes2:

The construction was rather ingenious.

The entire layout was constructed used a 3 foot X 3 foot grid layout. He can crawl under the table and access strategically positioned "lift-out" sections which will allow him to reach just about any point in this massive display. Of course he had to take into account the access points when he laid it out the track but after that it was no problem to build and modify.

It has taken him 20 years (so far) and it changes every once in a while.

George, you have some pretty impressive size displays ... and it seems that some section can't be reached. do you build from the middle to the outside?

Larry,
My displays are long vs wide, they can vary from 4 feet by 4 feet to 9 feet by 5 feet to 12 feet by 6 feet, that's the max, even at that it's a bit tough to get to the middle of it so in that instance, I'd build from the middle out. When I take it down, I work from the outside in...…………..
