I think these large tin items are, well if you see it and you have space, they're hard to resist. Obviously not for the scale people. I have my tin moments, have an Irvington Factory still never removed from the box. Yet I found smaller prewar stuff (& Hellgate Br) finds it's way onto the holiday layout for sure.
Other point with something sooo big, it not only takes up the space on the layout, but the box has to go somewhere.
I think you need to love this item, can't resist it... to own it.
