Where does this marvellous (promo?) layout come from?

[Bartosz]

While googling for related stuff I came across this image:

What a wonderful layout, isn't it!

It was somewhere on pinterest (which I detest and I just can't navigate around) so I just took a screenshot of it.

I couldn't find it in n 1981 catalogues.

Any clues?

Ah, those good old days. 
I am not sure, but back then there where separate train catalogs/folders included in the sets and/or as part of the instructions and it looks like it is one of them. Since I have 7725 I should have them lying around somewhere but I need to check. Perhaps someone has a quicker answer.

Oh, managed to click through annoying pinterest popups and arrived at: http://www.carolinatrainbuilders.com/2007/02/lego-12v-train-poster-from-1981/

Shame the resolution is not great, but cool nonetheless.

I miss the rails and ties being separate parts.

I'm a little triggered by the fact that there is not a single loop to have a train run continuously in such a large layout - apart from the 8 in the center. Other than that, yes, with the remote control functionality this must be much fun!

Look at all the remote controls, great fun I am a sure,

Curse you: Realizing this, I cannot enjoy the layout as much as before!

It's this one :

However, none are for sale and I haven't found a scan anywhere
