Not sure how big a US state is. Here in Australia we measure how big things are in term of number of Sydney Harbours, or MCGs, or (failing that), kilometers. I think you have a similar concept - number of Grand Canyons.
Anyway, to get to the point. My route is currently 9 Sydney Harbours, or 170 kms (110 miles) long. Off and on it has taken me 15 years to build (as John says it can get a bit boring at times if you want to attain a reasonable level of detail, so "time out" periods are likely. I started small, and it just kept growing!.
As far as I can see the 'lagginess' is not determined by the size of the layout, but (roughly speaking) is a function of your graphics cards capabilities, the amount of detail in the route, the view distance you set, and the graphics options selected.
Notes:
Sydney Harbour: A place for parking boats, bridges, and opera houses. Also a useful New Year's Eve venue. "Sydney Harbours" is a unit used frequently by anyone from the state of New South Wales.
MCG: A large stadium used for an obscure game called cricket. This unit is used by Victorians, and those from the other Australian states that don't like people from New South Wales.
A new unit gaining currency (mainly with Queenslanders who also don't like Victorians) is "number of Great Barrier Reefs". However global warming could affect the precision of this measure.
Hi,
In T:ANE or TRS19 is it possible to make the full lines of the US? or even a state w/out much laggy issues? Does the software keep everything in memory? or just load sections at a time etc like it would in MS Flight sim?
John, I think you'll find 3,200 miles is 5,148.8 Km

Even if you could and your computer could, why would you? Even prototype railroads don't let crews drive non-stop cross-country, why would you?
