Amazing. Love the dedication that must take. I'd be down there all the time too, but I would definitely be banging the tunes out. Cool:rolleyes:

"You too can have a train in your basement. You just need two things. You need to be completely insane and you have to have an amazing wife" ;)

I suppose this could be extrapolated into record collecting too, specially when big quantities of records are involved.

Blimey Carlos...you're going to need to step away from chocolate making nonsense and grab a baseball bat.
I'm coming down to check out your record shelves! :p

That train video is awesome. I want one. Big difference bewteen someone having an idea and executing it in a half-assed way and doing what he's done. Work of art imho. Good on him. Bet he gets loads of knocks on the door!

That's not my collection but I love the picture. All the lps are nicely ordered and tidied on the shelves but on top, you can see some boxes that don't fit so nicely. Probably the 7"s :rolleyes:

Here is another videos of the guy with the train in his basement. I love his positive attitude. You can even see his record collection. :cool:

Excellent!

There's a bar in Northern Spain which is fashioned in the same way (though nowhere near as good)

It's quite disconcerting at 2am when you are a bit tipsy sitting in your carriage - going nowhere!
