Are the dimensions 124ft long x 23ft wide really that spectacular?

So, how big is your train set?

As many HO-scale layouts are 4 ft by 8 ft, yup this is one huge layout.

124ft is more than 1/3 of a football field (300 ft or 100 yds goal to goal)

So 124 would take you from one goal to jut past the 41 yard line.

23 ft would be about the 8 yard line wide.

That’s pretty darn big.

How big is your basement?

To answer your question, yes.

For a train set, yes.

For a Roman trireme slave galley, not so much. ;)

for comparison sake

the train layout at Chicago science and industry museum

started at 2340 sq ft in 1940

remember seeing when I was a youngster, model train setup as mentioned would be truly spectacular- rough guess his is about same size as original Chicago layout.

Although from pics appears Sir Rod’s appears to be more detailed

Yes. The dimensions of 124ft long x 23ft wide are truly spectacular for a model railway.

Try to envision this. Go to Your local Home Depot or lowes Home Improvement Center. Go to the Lumber Department and start grabbing sheets of 3/8" thick (they are not real heavy) 4' x 8' Plywood off the Rack and start placing them on the floor in this configuration: 31 sheets long, laid side by side (4') and 3 sheets wide, laid end to end (8'). This will require 93 Sheets of Plywood. A Bundle of 3/8" is 80 sheets. So You will need 1 full bundle PLUS 1/6th of another bundle. I'm not sure but I think there will be enough space on the floor between the Lumber Racks and from the Front to the Back of the Store.

Making the assumption that the Sales Staff will let You keep doing this on their floor without stopping or having You arrested, You might want to have the Wife/Girlfriend pack a lunch for You.

PS- If You manage to pull this off Please be sure to have somebody video You doing this and Post it for Me😀.

Thanks in advance.
