Worlds Best Model RR Layout under construction

The featured element, a 5,500 sq. foot HO gauge model railroad layout, will have ten separate wiring systems, 20+ scale miles of mainline track and 50+ siding miles, hundreds of buildings (many of which have been scratch built), thousands of hand made trees and scenery never before attempted on a model railroad. The layout will be configured so that it might operate automatically in a "show" mode, and in manual "operational" mode for train running sessions. The wharf areas will feature ships that are fully operational "in the field", along with a full-scale model of the 729 foot ore carrier, Edmund Fitzgerald. This Is Not to Open to till early 2009 More Info at:

The train at 1.20 must be a real scale length. Great job all round - well done chaps from a railway 'muddler' in England
