Leftie and myself had a rather large discussion about the whole London idea, and noticed a minor mistake in his maths. Basically, for an OO-Gauge scale map of London (just going off the Tube Network), we would require a building of somewhere in the region of 6.3 Million Square Feet. To put that into perspective, Boeing's Everett Factory (the third largest building by footprint, and a building designed for the construction of 747s) is only 4.3 Million Square Feet. Adding Gatwick into the equation would be, in my eyes at least, insane!Gwyd wrote:With the whole London idea, maybe you could just do a couple of streets around each route, and with the tube lines, the structure holding up whatever it may be in could be the colour of that line. Do the whole Oyster zone why not?
It goes to Gatwick now. But, iirc, Clapham Junction is within the proposed zone...
We also got a rough quote for a building of such size, and unfortunately, I don't know anyone with spare £2.15 Billion
