I had the pleasure of visiting this layout at the owners home five or six years ago. The complete layout is large. Each stations requires one or two people to man it, the trains are run to a set order and all train movements and duties are set out in the station instructions for each train at each station. All points and signals are operated using miniature leavers, furthermore, each train is accepted and dispatched using the correct bell codes from or to the sending and receiving stations.

 

Hope this information is useful and that the link works.
