Here's a link to it. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2593294/Model-railway-built-1912-officially-OLDEST-world-recognised-time-Guinness-Book-Records.html
A railway in England used it to help learn how to signal the trains and stuff like that. Sort of a simulator. The layout was built in 1912.

"A lot of modellers out there who go to these train shows see broken HO stuff and go, 'This is useless' when, in reality, they can still be used for modeling whether it's as a prop on your layout or a cool project to make something old new again."

You can go see it at the National Railway Museum in York if you're ever in England of course.

| Wow. One moment's lapse in attention, and there goes the Royal Mail. How many times have I forgotten to throw a turn out?? Terrific post, thanks Kovacste000.
