Reply to "Finest ever produced?"

Way, way, way above my pay grade.  I often wonder about these fine scale models as far as running them in a garden railway setting.  I've been a garden railroader for thirty years.  In those thirty years, I have experimented, learned, sometimes forgotten what I learned, and generally have gained alot of knowledge on the subject.  

My experiences with large scale track, in a garden setting is that for most locos and rolling stock, made by the well known manufacturers, LGB, Aristocraft, USA Trains and sometimes Bachmann, is that they can handle track that is not perfectly level.  In fact, My LGB stuff, handles some track work that would embarrass a top notch track crew.  

So models such as the one that is the subject of this thread would need near perfect track to operate successfully.  With almost constant maintenance, a ground level railway would work.  Otherwise a raised railway on rigid sub base would be the way to go.  

All of this is simply my opinion, and as mentioned, gained knowledge from over a quarter century of garden railroading.
