Elevated Restaurant Train

By Richard's Toy Trains & Layouts
Simi Valley, CA

"Their newest layout can be seen at Maverick's Restaurant. They built a 270-foot-long layout around the whole perimeter and the whole train is personalized. This layout is more than a shelf. There is scenery all the way around, with different scenes to see on each wall. This is a must-see if you love trains. Richard Weaver, owner, uses a Hot Wire Foam Factory tool to shape mountains out of Styrofoam for train layouts." Simi Valley Daily News

Richard builds train layouts for businesses and individuals. Foam is super lightweight, but where are the supports? That will remain one of Richard's secrets.

Through the tunnel. Very realistic looking mountainside.
