Wow! Truly fabulous.

What area does the set-up cover? Looks like you'll need a separate house for it :D

How many years did it take to reach this level of perfection and exquisiteness?

Wow! This is an awesome layout. HO or OO? Does this purport to be a 1950's theme? In that case the TNT truck and a few other vehicles (Mercedes Benz CL 500 / 55) are anachronisms.

Hi Gents,
            Thanks for your comments.
This is 0 gauge 7mm to the foot.
It has taken me 16 years to build and it covers 1500 square feet. 30 feet X 50 feet
The first video posted represented the 1950s holiday expresses but the layout in general is representative of the period of 1948 to privatisation in the 1990s. 30 trains run simultaneously through 17 stations automatically controlled from a central control room with the aid of closed circuit television monitors.

Hi There,
            The majority of the rolling stock is ready to run.
            This is 21st century tinplate. The locomotives are manufactured by Ace Trains of London
             The rolling stock is mainly Ace Trains and Darstaed of Thailand.
             Compared to the past the detail is absolutely fantastic now look at the locomotive below.
Regards Roy.
