Ah fond memories! Mark has done an amazing job on his layout, and I'm glad you've got some shots of the snow scene as I think that's my favourite part.

Also good to see bits that have progressed since I last saw the layout!

An iconic N scale layout if there ever was one. Always enjoy seeing shots but the fact it was built with ops in mind... gold standard stuff right there. Need to check out MD’s ops videos again.

Mark Dance has built one of the most complete, beautiful, practical, well-engineered layouts in existence.  I was fortunate enough to see it in person at the RRMBC this past May.  Even my wife, who is not particularly a model train buff, was so impressed that she took a lot more photos than I did!

Tip o' the hat, Mark.  Well done!

Great photos from Gary of great scenes from Mark.  The level of detail on a home layout of that size is just amazing!  My vote for the finest N scale layout ever constructed!
