I noticed this on Brickshelf last week and was waiting the see if there
would be a post about it but hadn’t seen one. . .

I think it has amazing potential. I am hoping to see it completed.
I might even try my hand at a similar one but with different colors.

rambling rant!
That is simply the best lego layout I have seen. Without wishing
to be critical of the efforts of other who have created impressive layouts they
have always seemed a bit like a conglomeration of great set scenes, without a
overall masterplan. I can understand why this happens, sections are built
seperatly and then joined for shows.
This layout is more like a ‘proper’ model
railway and shows what can be done with coherent common vision. There are a few
other layouts who come close to this, John and Ross Neal with their
TCLTC layout and Jonathan Lopes’
stuff although I
feel the track layouts are still possibly a bit trainset-ish and I imagine Steve
Barile’s Turtle Creek will be as good
when finished, if it lives up to its vision (where are you Steve? not seen any
updates recently!) I think the art to this is not to try to attempt to fit too
many things in, the real world contains lots of not much! It is more a question
of looking at real life and how it ‘fits together’ rather than thinking, “thats
cool, I need to include that”.
