OnThisDay 1969 Blue Peter showed the model train set to end all model trains.

The World's Greatest Model Railway. The elaborate exhibition railway built by Mr. Bertram Otto and exhibited at Eastbourne in 1959 and later at Olympia was sold to Mr. Richard Burge, of New York, and was shown at the New York World's Fair. One of the most popular attractions at the New York World Fair in 1964; Lord Montagu was so impressed by the model railway during his visit to New York that he immediately arranged for it to be exhibited at the Montagu Motor Museum at Beaulieu, where it became an instant success. The World’s Greatest Model Railway covered over 1,000 sq ft and included 500 lineside buildings, 150 factories, over 200 locomotives, plus 50 tramcars and trolley buses, 400 shops plus schools, motorised vehicles, 400 items of rolling stock, 52,000 feet of multi-coloured wires and 8 major control panels, working scenes depicting locations in the US and Europe, including the English Channel and the Alps. In 1996 the railway moved to a private home in Ireland.
