Big Toys for small boys
Saw this on the roger melly (telly) a couple of years back. Cannot remember the name of the program but suspect the Hamster from top gear was involved in the program. Makes my old Hornby layout look like a baby's toy. The guys that built it are computer freaks as well as it all is controlled by banks of computers than they use to control everything, including the day/night lighting etc.
\would love something similar but suspect her indoors would object strongly to me knocking down walls in the house in order to fit it in.
