Absolutely superb! Would only have needed 60 feet in N, missed a trick!

I doubt it's Britain's biggest though. The one at Beckinscott Model Village is longer than that surely, definitely larger in area. As is the one in LegoLand.

It has a thread of its own on RMWEB, if you want to see a blow by blow account.

Perhaps "largest privately owned" may have been fairer. It's a stunning piece of work, the level is detail is staggering!

It certainly is.
I had enough trouble getting the Coniston Railway approximately close to the real thing but to go to the level of detail of, for example, correctly positioning manhole covers is a completely different level.
