Train buffs will no doubt be impressed with the more than a dozen large-scale model trains dating from the late 1880s -- American steam engines, streetcars and trolleys to modern freight and passenger trains -- as they travel on nearly a quarter-mile of ground-level tracks and across bridges, through tunnels, past dramatic waterfalls and along overhead trestles.
More than 140 miniature iconic homes and buildings past and present around which the trains travel that are created from natural materials such as bark, twigs, stems, fruits, seeds and pine cones by Paul Busse and his company, Applied Imagination, of Alexandria, KY.
