It seems that I am an influencer now with an appearance on the poster for Heaton Junction's first public appearance. 

My quote is from the BRM article, and absolutely correct. This layout is massive. 

You walk along the front, and keep on walking. I've never seen such a massive model railway. 

Looking along the line from the view in the photo above, you simply can't see an O gauge model as it starts its journey from the other end - it's the lights that catch the eye first, long before you can see the nose. 


 

Don't forget that there is the same length around the back for the fiddle yard too. A fiddle yard full of very long trains, my favourite of which is the Motorail one. 

I leave it to you to guess why.

That'll be the green car, then - unless, of course, I'm very much mistaken (which I might be - after all, stranger things have been known).


Seriously though, in view of this layout being O Gauge, it does seem somehow appropriate that they've quoted you in their advert.

Anyone could be forgiven for thinking that you might be familiar with this scale. For all I know, you might even have also encountered the Gauge O Guild.


It does come to something, though, when a layout is long enough for it to be difficult to see a model loco at the opposite end.
