Dear Ivor,
Both Sodor layouts (the second now on display at Enyertrainment Junction in Ohio) are 4' x 8'. The highest scenery point is about 30" above "sea level"; the third level trackage is about 18" above the first.
Have fun!

Th-there was a duplicate made?  :o

I'm actually surprised. How often is the layout usually taken to shows?

ivorno1

sorry to bother you but how much would it cost me to build a layout like that

Probably at least $1000 USD, but we'll let the Bachmann answer that.

Dear All,
The first layout travels with the World's Greatest Hobby on Tour, but will also be shown at the next Springfield (Amherst) show.
The second layout is a bit different in terms of scenery, but shares the same basic track plan, which is two ovals on the lower level, two in the middle, and one on top.
Your budget will depend on how many trains you buy, as well as the buildings you choose. The foam and other scenic materials are quite reasonable.
Have fun!

how long do you think it would take me to build

Can we please get a track plan? Becuase I'm starting my MR today, and I think I might use this. (Hopefully)

The only thing I think we really need to know is the radius of each of the curves. Mind filling us in?  ;)

panniertankboy8751

It appears to be 18" radius. Look at the box the track comes in. I happen to know that it is 18" curves in there.  :)

Sparks, what pannier is trying to say is that the Worlds Greatest Track pack comes with 18" radius. Thats what he was talking about. ;)
