Tom Snyder has the only multi-level, scale-detailed Standard gauge layout we have ever seen, and it's gorgeous. Never before have classics like the 400E, Olympian, National Limited, and the Hiawatha pranced about in such realistic scenery - mountains, groundcover, tunnels and trees. Accessories include the Power Station, Hellgate Bridge, Terrace Station, and many more - even two loops for the Lionel Race Cars and a Snow Village Christmas scene.
Minor observations, confused and unconscious, run parallel to the perception of the whole. A sentence from Leibniz that defines my artistic trajectory.
Native animal species in and around water As attractive as nature is above water, the animal and plant life below the surface is just as fascinating. To date, natural science has identified around 20,000 species of fish. Around 60 of these species live in our native waters. In addition, there are countless insects, amphibians, birds and mammals that spend a large part of their lives in or near water. And nowhere else is it easier to recognize the diverse, often almost miraculous adaptations of living creatures to the special conditions of their habitat than here. For example, the film provides an insight into the extremely sophisticated reproductive biology of the bitterling, shows how the mudminnow can survive for months 'in the dry', or how the arctic char were saved from extinction with the help of mud suckers.
People try it on in the Croxley bunkers, and when the head of the household shoves his bendy cane brush right up the chimney we would do well to run to the other side of the road and watch it appear out the top for the lucky sight of it.

In a classroom, a group of young people disagree over a racist statement by one of them directed at a colleague. The girl is offended, the Portuguese teacher intervenes and suggests that they take the topic to the History teacher, that will certainly be able to help them in the debate. The teacher proposes more than a debate: it takes them to reflect on racism in our society, to look for the origins of racial prejudice and, in addition, to involve other people in the discussion, resulting in a beautiful group work, later presented to the whole class.

The story of the old Russians began in the XVI century, when the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church, supported by the Czar, imposed religious reforms in Russia. Those who have refused to obey were brutally persecuted and forced to seek refuge in Siberia or in faraway places. Many hidden in Europe, and some of them settled down in China, Japan, America and Australia. The Russian Old Believers Community that settled down in Romania is one of the most numerous. The film explores the extraordinary power of this community to preserve their language, customs and religion, finding in their faith in God the source of strength to resist. This film tries to render the patriarchal air of the medieval Russia, from which these people came.
