Has any body/club done Clapham Junction, Waterloo, Crewe or similar large massive projects in N?

How about a scale model of Stuttgart? Unfortunately the builder has passed away. 30 years' work on show in the film. Buildings all hand built replicas of real ones.

Sadly, only in my head/dreams :(
With my glacial progress I'd have had to start one aged 3 even if I had the space. :-[

There is a model of Crewe in N I think. One of the facebook pages had a chap posting pics of the work in progress.

There is also this in 2mmFS:

That is amazing. The control setup is...  well, I don't know what to say about it. I'm sitting here thinking, forget the building of it for a moment, just consider the maintainance! Track cleaning?
Thanks for the link.....

If anyone is going to Stuttgart there is a N scale model of the new station in the "Bahnhofsturm" which moves up and down so you can see the underground station! It is very impressive!!
Kindest Regards
