I totally agree with Bob. But I sure wish Tony would adopt me. Tony spoke the most true and accurate words that I've ever heard to the dream layout...he said something to the effect of have a great dream and A LOT OF MONEY!!!!!!!!
This layout is super impressive and that's the understatement of a lifetime. However, it is not realistic nor is it based upon a prototype.

I've got a DVD showing his layout and I wouldn't consider it anything but a toy train layout packed full of animation. Nice and big for what it is, but not what Allan said here:
Again, the intent is to make this designation inclusive of those striving to achieve a high level of realism with their 3-rail equipment, layouts, and operations, without including details that would, in effect, once again make things overly restrictive.
Sounds like there's more clarification needed. Maybe I'm missing something, but I hope this isn't the direction this sub-forum will take
