Surprised to see you on this thread, @FastTrax -- HA!

My son and his wife went to Wunderland last year. They came back wishing they'd planned an extra week.
I'll have to see if anyone got photos of it. They didn't send me any. I hope they took some.

I'm ecstatic that John Burt found a financier to keep his gorgeous layout alive. Now if GOD would allow him time to continue his handiwork at it's new location.

Thanks Bellbird for posting

Long time no hear Murrmurr. I've seen some massive mostly HO and N gauge layouts but these two take the brass ring.

An old hobby and art supply store I used to go to had a model train that traveled up, down, and across the store's walls, up and down the isles and in and out some windows. Sure was a cool way to bring people in.

I know nothing about them, so have no idea what gauge or model it was. It had a modern, kind of streamline silver engine, so no choo-choo. And, sadly, the track had to be kept narrow, so the guy didn't have scenery around it except along the walls just below the ceiling.

If the average train car appeared to be about 10" long give or take an inch or two it probably was O gauge especially if it was wall mounted. My favorite was HO gauge due to it's price point, realism, availability of rolling stock and accessories, ease of use and layout flexibility. N gauge is too small for realism and O gauge is relatively expensive for small to moderate size layouts but excellent for static displays showing intricate parts.

That sounds about right.
