Really astounding in concept and construction.
I don't understand, though, how those trains run with only two rails.

kj, this is a great layout, however it was posted here a short time ago and removed since the owner didn't want it posted on the web. Where did you find the pictures?

From the looks of the linked site, it's a publically available site.
Nice! Though makes me kind hate my crammed-in layout.

Certainly looks--and reads--that way to me. All that's posted here is a link to the site. Copying individual images, etc, might be another matter.
Its all nice and everything but I need to ask the question. Why would you build such an expensive, extensive and detailed layout in a building with metal siding, roof and concrete floor?
I copied this next statement from page 6 of the referenced site:
"We have also had to deal with gaps in the rails opening and closing. The building is, unfortunately, not completely tight against outdoor temperature and humidity fluctuations. This has caused some issues that keep us on our toes."
Not completely weather tight?
Hopefully those are fully insulated metal panels and the slab has insulation around the perimeter. And the high tech HVAC system is not currently installed. A more comfortable walking surface I would assume is also in the future.

Those guys are pretty darn serious. I wonder how they are funding that project.
