That is basically a pre-built layout. Some people want to just run trains, and that's a reasonable alternative for them. For me, though, a lot of the satisfaction of this hobby is building things myself. Sure, it's taking a long time, but every step along the way is a great sense of accomplishment. Building scenery for me has been a learning process at every turn - I'm not the artistic type.

It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
