Fascinating, thanks again Walter. I can't work out from the video or the Grand Museum website where the locos and rolling stock were sourced. Many look like Western European prototypes. With 250 locos in all I suppose that many could have been converted to resemble modern Russian equipment. I'm not aware, but have not checked, whether there's a lot of Russian models around. I know there are certainly many Chinese and Japanese model trains available.
This is the second biggest model train layout after the one in Germany that I think has been posted here before. It's been in operation since 2011.

Incidentally, I still get the occasional flyers from one of the main Midwestern Euro HO dealers (Reynaulds) and today it includes the newest Faller accessories, many of the older versions of which I am sure I've seen on the Russian layout. The new ones are pretty extraordinary including a complex carnival "ghost ride" (or maybe its a torture chamber): www.reynaulds.com/new-item-show/dept_291.aspxOf course an O scale structure of this kind would be pretty huge. I reckon this HO structure is about 16"W x 8"D x 10"H. Plus it's a kit with over 400 parts costing over $450!

Anyone notice how realistic they made the water and wave effects for the Beach scenes?

Anyone notice how realistic they made the water and wave effects for the Beach scenes? Yeah, and as the video camera pans over it, the water appears to be flowing/rippling. It had me fooled at first until the camera motion stopped. It also appears to be highly reflective but that could be a paint effect rather than using epoxy or textured plastic sheet. In any case it’s very convincing.
