Melbourne man discovers extensive model train network underneath house

Daniel Xu has loved trains since he was a child. In a surprising twist of fate, he now lives above an extensive hobby train network set.

"To do the renovation, I would have to go downstairs to have a look and do some inspections and when I got down I saw this massive incredible train model just sitting there," he told SBS News. The model train set was put together by the former owner of the house Daniel Xu recently purchased and could be about 60 years old. It is not the project he had in mind when buying his house, but Daniel Xu has committed himself to restoring the old model train network he found beneath his home and hopes to upgrade some of the technology.
