Most impressive HO layout in South Africa

Today I saw the most impressive model railway thanks to my friend André Kritzinger of Railpictures fame. who put me in touch with Frank Graham. Frank built it over more than 20 years. It occupies a 3 bedroom apartment. Frank tells me that he is "not interested in stats, but pays meticulous attention to detail" which is very evident. He doesn't know how many feet of track there is, or how much he spent. But the detail is amazing. There is rolling stock from South Africa and other countries. I estimate well over 300. You can see the pictures in my gallery here. Well done Frank.
