Ambitious scenario, with an equally ambitious track plan...

Haha - I'm glad you included this.  32 tracks under the shed.  I'd better start now or I won't live to see it in its completion

I may have to settle for selective compression. That building is stunning inside and out. A real gem of architecture.  I would have loved to have seen it in its railroading hay day.  It was repurposed into a mall/hotel/restaurants in the late 80s/early 90s. Most of the stores and restaurants closed in the early 2000s. Now they are planning to add a large aquarium attraction ($45 million) and a Ferris wheel in the next couple years.

I wonder if it's been done in HO, N, or Z scale? I tried searching online, but didn't find anything.
