OS2R Portable Layout - Britain's Largest

Beautiful work, and a tremendous investment of time, effort, and money - great ambassador for the hobby.  The layout is a bit boring and repetitive, though.

Most layouts built for public display instead of operations are repetitive.  The G&O Garden Railroad is also a big circle.  The public is interested in seeing lots of trains running.

This layout is a great ambassador for the model railroading hobby and OS2R in particular.  It showcases OS2R at its best.  NH Joe

This is the type of exposure that OS2R needs in the US.  Hopefully, OSC modular standards will enable US OS2R modelers to build a similar impressive display at our train shows.

Standard already exist and who are these people that are going to build the US version, store it, transport it, operate it all over the US?

I think that long reefer trains pulled by a Big Boy or Cab Forward will jump start interest in OS2R.

Lot of oooh's and aaaah's potention until the price tag is told to the audience. And, just how big a module to turn a Big Boy or Cab Forward and will display halls really give that much space?

In the meantime, by all means go for it!
