I started to build the railway in the summer of 1995 since then it has grown to the size it is now. Due to my age it is unlikely get any larger, however never say never. The railway is L shaped and now covers around 2000 square feet.

As regards size it is 50 feet by 30 feet on four levels with 40 feet by between 12 and 20 feet feet adjoining.
The map above is now a few years old and covers just the 50 x 30 feet part.
The layout is a walk round format which is now a 300 foot walk round through 6 sheds.
The track marked in yellow is the line now extended to four track running but the extension is not shown on the map.
The video below now travels over the yellow track and the new extension

Good to see you have made it Roy! Viewers will have to see more photos to even begin to grasp the size of the layout!

David as usual I took the scenic route:

30 trains run simultaneously through 17 stations automatically controlled from a central control room.
As seen below.
