Yes, it's noisy, and it's track isn't long, but that's an achievement, that looks like something that belongs in an amusement park.

That's so neat, they need to put in more track that could almost be something to show for money it's so cool.

2. I would settle for just having a back yard that large.

But the trolley is really cool. That's what you do when you are retired, with plenty of money.

4. I think someone could probably do it on a smaller budget...

if they did most of the building themselves.

Uh hum, I might try it if I get enough land.

6. It looks like it's primarily made of metal...

I've found a supplier on the internet that supplies sheet metal of all varieties in large sizes for a reasonable price.

5. I know, isn't it?

At least this person did something fucking awesome with their money.

Walt Disney had a backyard train, in fact that's why all the Disney parks have trains (that and the fact he worked on trains in his youth.)
