I think one step above O-scale. This is at Fernwood Botanical Gardens outside of Niles, Michigan. They actually hired a firm who goes around the country building these to suit each particular environment. Being close to South Bend, IN, this setup contains building seen on the Notre Dame Campus, such as the famous Golden Dome on the Administration Building. It is a wonder to behold!

Built around some mountains by the designer, loaded with scenery, lakes, and bridges, and must be about 100 feet or so. Dandy to the max

Very well shot. The structures look just like the ones at Morris Arboretum just outside of Philadelphia.

That's very cool. I've never seen one of these. Are they same size as the toy RR's, or larger?

G Scale is larger than what you may be used to.
