Man Builds Full-Size Replica of Train… In His BASEMENT (Video)

January 23, 2013

Talk about living out a boyhood dream. This man built a full-size replica of a train car in his basement. All aboard! Jason Shron recently completed the painstaking work involved in building a full-size replica train carriage in his basement.

‘It took Shron more than 2,500 hours to fulfill his dream at a cost of $10,000… Shronâ€™s finished work features seat numbers, the all-important chairs, welcome signs, coat hooks, timetable racks, and carpet from the 1970s. He hasnâ€™t neglected anything, even offering a soundtrack of a train clicking along a track.’

Nice. It’s nothing like the real thing though. To Shron, in the ways that matter, it’s better:

â€œItâ€™s where I feel most at peace. Especially when itâ€™s hurtling along at 85mph with the snow and rain pelting down outside â€” itâ€™s the perfect place to be.â€
