WOW!!!! Trying to image what this would like in O scale and how much real estate it would need

Hi !

I totally agree -- you can have a monster of a layout in a lot smaller space than HO or O Scales !  And I modeled a huge EL layout (NY City based)  in both HO Scale (1964 -- and it grew thru 1970's -- thru mid 80's)  and in 1984-85 I started in O Scale 2-rail track for a bigger EL format.  My modular-built HO EL in a given floor space was 32' x  6' -- had a LOT MORE track mileage and operation than my later modular-built  O Scale NYC EL & Trolley system  (7' x 39' rectangular).  Here is my Webpage Photos ALBUMS Page for my O Scale (and HO) EL layouts, and my around the room HO Scale Mainline RR "Modular Shelves Layout"  https://www.flickr.com/photos/44268069@N00/albumshttps://www.flickr.com/photos/44268069@N00/albums  --- and for my main page at Flickr;
