Here in northern Europe, there is a few 2-rail layouts. Most of us build modules in Fremo-standard. I have some modules as a shelf layout in the hobby-area in our cellar. Still in the works but a little bit easier to finish a module at the time, then a whole layout. A couple times a year we meet up and build quite large layouts. With a background and good lightning over the layout brings out the best of the models.
Here is short movie clip of some CB&Q rooster. A Sunset E5, a GGD heavyweight and a CB&Q pullman.
Overall 2-rail is the norm over here. there is some 3-rail entusiasts but 2-rail is much more common.
