    Great stuff. As the inventor of something called 'JigStones' back in '92 (you might have heard of it - the 'G' scale model building system), I was involved with this kind of thing commercially for some years. However my activities in garden railroad modelling have become diluted now with the passage of time, and having moved house recently I've no plans to tackle anything new.
    To keep my interests alive I occasionally knock out the odd painting (the one shown below is of scaled down ride on railroad in Cornwall at a place called Dobwalls)

    I have a very elaborate set up of Marklin HO trains in boxes in the basement since we moved 3 years ago. The tables are in the garage and won't go down the stairs. 3 tacks w/6 spur pull through station.

    Maybe I should sell the trains and get kilts?

    Not into trains myself but my brother-in-law broke his heart when he only had a daughter. He eventually built a train set in his loft and gave up pretending it was for the kids. I don't see any of the people in your setup wearing kilts. Is that just an oversight?

    There is a drummer following a piper in the last photo.

    There are a lot of kilted toy soldiers, pipers, and drummers to be had.
    Sadly there are very few civilians.
