Notes:
The layout is a floor-to-ceiling masterpiece, where HO-scale is used as forced-perspective. There are six S-scale routes below and six HO-scale routes higher up. The main section of the layout, started in 1999, was already documented in the 2003 magazine article. Since then, an even larger extension was added to the layout to form a huge L-shaped layout.
