Brilliant work, guys! Your layout is filled with many stunning MOCs in
stunning colors that really is very pleasing in appearance. It seems to me
to be more asthetically pleasing to present a layout in-line rather than in
a large rectangular-type format. Unless the backdrops for a large, enclosed
layout is extensive, I think the “background noise” of the other side is too
distracting and detracts from the overall presentation. Does that make any
sense? I mean, this is so nice (apart from the vagrant sleeping in the back....just
kidding, Dean:-) having a “quiet” background of the wall to allow the viewer
to focus on the layout and appreciate it more fully.
Kudos from across the pond! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks John! In-line layouts just happen to suit the venues we usually display
in. The problem tends to be trains being out of sight as they could be 15m+
away from you. We solve that problem by having a couple of joined in-line
layouts that seamlessly integrate (but are not necessarily connected by track)
and also placing controllers in a reasonably central position.
The STEAM museum is a fantastic place and our display is very fitting there. I
like your comment about the absence of background noise, but did you notice what
was behind the
visitors? That takes some ignoring...or our display is even more impressive :-)
OK, we can dream!
