Hi Ed; Yes, it is clearly a site advertising for custom model/layout building. The mountain scene with the two bridges is evocative of the scene on your layout, but you didn't use a wood trestle in yours.
Most of the equipment is recognizable AF or AM. The buildings in the Chicago scene are almost certainly O scale (Ultra Scale www.choochenterprises.com/html/ultra_scale_structures.html , with 1/43 vehicles and Artista O scale figures). The town scene used DSL shops and other S buildings. The videos on the site are definitely "fishy", even for HO layouts they have a BNSF diesel leading the train on an HO layout depicting NYC or PRR in the 1950s! Also, the one car SP train on the S layout. The gallery images are generally more impressive. The scenery and weathering on the structures are nicely done. Pieter E.
