As a scale modeler, I have little to no interest in animated features layouts. Little kids may, but then again, they aren't supporting the hobby, are they? Not only that, these kids are equally infatuated with slot cars and other types of race sets, so I doubt it is just the anomated feature that has their attention... it is most likely anything that they can push a button on and make it do something. Additionally... every little kid I ever saw was more interested in racing their trains then they were in collecting them or scale modeling them.
But let's take John Allen's now gone, but at one time world famous Gorre and Daphetid layout, and George Sellios' world famous Franklin and South Manchester layout and take a look at them... nope, nothing animated on that that I'm aware of. Yet them are WORLD FAMOUS. Are there any WORLD FAMOUS AF layouts out there with or without animated features? I don't...

There is none . The AF animation is what gets the kids attention and the Dad may get into our hobby. Come down to Texas and see what we have to offer and see the kids reaction. For the animation to fit scale you take what is in HO and modify it to make it fit. Who is going to do that among the scale group. Let me know what you find out.
