The Americans certainly have a different outlook on their layouts and lots of innovative ideas.

Yes the Americans seem the be streets ahead of every one else but I think that is a European layout in the videos

The Americans are like that in everything they do, I race a powerboat but the Americans are so far ahead of us, they use helicopter jet engines and big V8's, were still using outboards!

Fab layout. It must have taken some programming to get it to run right.

You don't need a huge basement Baby GM you could do what Kirley and myself did and build a shed RedRich is also looking at going down this road. One of the best I've seen is A4 Mallards block built shed and not to forget there is always the attic and garage. Not all American layouts are huge but they do know how to maximise the space that they do have. Where as the Irish and English can't see beyond a single baseboard running around the outside of the room.
