Does anybody recognize this layout?

[tossedman]

I'm looking to see if there's a website with more information about this layout. I like how the trams are integrated into the roads and would like to learn more about how they were made. These pictures are from a blog that found them elsewhere with no information as to where. I've messaged the blog creator but he hasn't been on here for over a year.

 

 

Here's another angle.

 

Thanks,

 

Todd

I thought someone might know it.

Google's reverse image search (almost) always knows. ;)

Interesting track layout as it's a 2+2 track terminal station and a 4+3 track hidden yard. No curves anywhere except for the turnouts. Easy to operate but as there is no continous running, there is no way for the trains to move at anything above departure/arrival speed. It could be automated easily as a low workload show layout. The scenery is great, especially the tram lines and the river crossing.

 

ps: the control panel looks like the buffers could be replaced with two turnouts or something on a module not on display

Any idea how big this is? Hard to tell from photos.

Maybe this photo could help. (the yard is just off to the right)
