I want this house.
Described as a 'train enthusiast's paradise', this semi-detached house has gone on the market for £105,000 - complete with its very own 1,000ft railway in the back garden.
The extensive miniature display features passengers waiting on the platform and a handmade model village.
The centre piece of the track is a huge Koi carp pool with bridges and waterfalls, where workmen can be seen maintaining the tracks.
'Rail enthusiast's paradise': The 1,000ft miniature railway in the back garden of a semi-detached home in North Hykeham, Lincolnshire, features bridges and waterfalls
It was put together by trainspotter Mo Reynolds, who lived in the house in North Hykeham, Lincolnshire.
He spent years creating the model railway which includes sound effects and contains 12 different scale models of steam and diesel trains.
An intricate castle complete with a working drawbridge and its own fairground also feature in the set, which is now up for auction.
Lincoln estate agents JH Walter are hoping the property, which is in need of repair, will be sold to a buyer who can restore the train track to its former glory.
Agency manager James Mulhall said there had already been 'good interest' in the house.
He said: 'I've seen small train sets in attics and rooms of the house but never anything as grand and detailed as this.
Detailed: The model railway, which includes a fairground, was created over years by the property's former owner Mo Reynolds
'It will be something that will either really appeal to a future buyer or completely put them off. It's a train enthusiasts paradise.
'The garden is taken up with the model railway and the previous vendor clearly spent a lot of time creating and maintaining it.
'We hope it will make more than its guide price of £105,000 but we have given it that estimate as parts of the property desperately need a refit.'
The house and railway will go under the hammer on September 29.
Train collector Mo Reynolds painstakingly spent years creating his masterpiece.
One neighbour, who did not wish to be named, said Mr Reynolds had also built a huge railway in his loft and had another in his double garage.
He said: 'Mr Reynolds used to spend hours in his garden. He also used to have some big koi carp.
'The house has been empty since about June.
'There is an extension of the train track that goes round into the garage. In the loft, his son told us there was a track that was too big to get down.
'From what he says, the track more or less covers the loft.'
