As someone who knows nothing of the model train world, how impressive is this?
I see keywords like 20,000 and pristine so I know it's massive and possibly unique, but One Gauge?

1 gauge is more ore less what is today popular as G scale which is used for garden railway.
1 gauge's 1:32 scale makes it nearly three times the dimensions of modern HO scale, the most popular size today.
Every single hand crafted model in this collection might be worth a month wage or more.
Thanks OP.
The guy has to be a gorrilionaire to be able to afford all of this.
Put it in perspective. The Steam Engines run about 800-1500. If there is a 4-8-8-4 in there then that runs about 2k. Each of the rolling stock is around 50-100.
