    Most enthralling episode to date. What a cab ride this has been to follow and will make when it’s all linked up. To boldly go where no OO has been before. Wonderful journey in the making👍

    I think I will have a go at making the smallest portable layout using an O-4-O sitting on DCC Concepts Rollers on a board just big enough to have a piece of track, static grass, with a tree or two. Martin. (Thailand)

    To Pete Waterman and all at Mega points Controllers... Re you Guinness Records project. Have you ever considered using "Box Section" steel for the layout base ?... With the correct design and construction it would not suffer from the variables found in wood, and alignments, once set, could be taken down, and rebuilt with extreme accuracy. No risk of warping, shrinking etc..... Just throwing an idea out there..

    With all the different coloured hi vis you will all be wearing, it's going to be as colourful as a flight deck scene from Top Gun! The theme music could start with Danger Zone at the beginning of the attempt and conclude when you achieve the record with Take My Breath Away! Just get Kylie to perform Locomotion as part of the celebration party afterward! Good luck to all the team.

    2007 European N Scale Convention in Stuttgart had a modular layout with over 500m of double track, comprising modules from several European societies all linked up. I have the T-shirt :)

      had same sort of thinking but the USA version HO Modules ? prob other gauges as well ..
      looking at the Making Tracks vids they are building Modules ? ..
      But in defence of Making Tracks the build will be the same everytime they move ? ..

  • @delboy1727
    @delboy1727 Před 5 měsíci

    Interesting how they define largest. So a layout could be half the length of making tracks, but if it had twice as many roads on each board, it would compete as being the largest even though, physically, it was only half the size.
