God bless this wonderful man for all the joy he brought to so many over the years. Our children were about 8 yrs. and 5 yrs. old the first time we took them to see his fantastic creation. Our condolences to his family.

GREAT! I have been a model train man for around 50 years. Go to the train show at the Placer County Fair Grounds, in Roseville, California. See many operating displays just like this one. Also several model train clubs in Northern California. Computers and digital have made model R.R. even more realistic. When I lived in Portland, Oregon went to club open houses during the holidays. Operating displays 10 times bigger than the one in this video. All are a wonderful activity if you don't let it run your life. If you do, it will ruin everything else.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Humann. You will be missed by many in this community. I hope the model railroad legacy will live on in your memory. Blessings to the Humann Family.
